I confess to being somewhat discombobulated by this new word of yours. I have heard of circumlocution of course, but this has a much more lascivious sense to it, almost as if one is licking around the edges of things...

    I was rather taken aback myself. I'm not enjoying some of the more recent offerings. Cheers, Tony - Craig

I have a book of Jacqueline Kennedy's best loved poems....I think this would fit right in there! Great little commentary. Could we send it to Congress?

Yipes! I figured you were playing with me, but I went straight to my dictionary (let's hear it for old school!). Anyway, my deluxe dictionary let me down.

On reflection, I believe circumbilivagination is a word that expresses itself. Say it three times fast--see if you ain't dizzy!

Thanks for the lesson.

Peace, Lee

I get this too. Straight and to the point is the way the world should be! Google or no Google , word or no word it fits the profile with almost perfection. So there I got it. And when you get it you keep it. Ill remember this one. Thanks

Well-penned, Craig! No smirking here. Kudos for unearthing a very curious word. Your poem, aside from its introduction to the word, and giving good advice, is most notable to me for its wit, a quality I hold in high esteem.

Hi, Craig. Back to your usual new words. I noticed that begins is embedded in your new word. Is that because talking in circles is a feminine trait? Thank you for sharing

    I would only suggest that in my house if I wanted to lose my front teeth, Pam :) Many thanks for reviewing! Craig

    Frigging iPhone changed what I typed. I typed vagina not begins. But, now, what are you going to say? Lol. Frigging iphone
reply by the author on 12-Apr-2018
    I figured something like that happened, and guessed what you meant when you said "embedded". Hence my reply, which doesn't need to change lol

    Lol. Let?s keep having fun like this, DOM. Oh that stands for dirty old man.

    I'm too old to be dirty in any meaningful way ;-)

I love your words here and we should be careful with our word, be precise and make our point clearly, because when we do we have success! Love the word for today and your rhyming is spot on, love Dolly x
