bunkum: gatvol

Man, it’s been ages since we’ve played a game here at the Grit. I think it’s time to resume the weekly ritual.

Here goes:

  • Post a definition for the made-up word above your comment, or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person.
  • Have fun!

Starter word: gatvol (thanks, Anti!)
