We all know words that sound like they could have an alternate meaning.

For example, there’s “coffee” noun, a person who has been coughed upon.

There’s “abdicate” verb, to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

And there’s “negligent” adjective, describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightie.

Getting the hang of it?

The Journal-World wants you to have some fun and come up with alternate meanings for the following words. Also, we’d like for you to share any wacky definitions that you might come up with on your own.

Just write or type your definitions on a separate sheet of paper and send to Daffy Definitions, Jan Biles, arts-features editor, Journal-World, 645 N.H., Lawrence, 66044, or e-mail them to jbiles@ljworld.com. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number on your entry. Deadline is Aug. 30.

We’ll publish the funniest definitions sometime in September.
