Nictitate

Guys who nictitate
think themselves to be great,
and often stay out late,
looking for a date,
winking at gals who look great,
hoping if they wait,
one will take the bait,
and fall for the flirt who nictitates.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

  1. Well, I guess they could slowly wean themselves off the habit by wearing nicitate patches over their eye. You know, like a pirate ;D

  6. Dear Rachel,
    I swear...your words get wackier by the week! (lol) My initial reaction was this had something to do with nicotine...boy was I wrong. Can you see me nictitating at you...is it having any effect? Hahaha! Thanks for sharing.

    How Fortunate I am...
