There are many erudite and sagacious posters here in Gaggerland.
To raise the level of discussion and to reward those who rise to such lofty heights, I am proposing a Word of The Week Competition.
The Rules will be fairly simple.
Once a week (typically on Sunday), the Word of the Week will be posted on this Thread.
Competitors wishing to claim "Word of the Week" points should have to simply cut and paste a copy of their post from "Rugby Discussion" Forum in the "Word of the week" thread for it to count.
One entry per person per week will count. If a poster wants to use a second post in lieu of a previous entry, then overwrite the previous entry with the "edit post" functionality.
Bonus points may be awarded for the manner in which the Word of the Week has been deployed. Similarly Points may be deducted for inappropriate use of the Word of the Week, or Trying too hard.
Lets See how it goes.
The inaugural Word of the Week is:
saccade, n,
1. The movement of the eye when it makes a sudden change, as in reading.
2. The act of checking a horse quickly with a single strong pull of the reins.
