Latibule

Latibule - n. Hiding place.

he found a latibule,

I used her same, random approach, moved the mouse around with closed eyes, and picked a word.

latibule

A hiding place. I can see why it needs saving. After all, who would be talking about their latibule, if they wanted to keep it a secret? Yes, this word was just far too successful for it's own good! Well, no more. I adopted the word. Heck, I own the word now:



It's up to me to save it. Maybe it needs a new image. To be reborn. The "new" latibule. Perhaps some re-definition. Maybe a French word describing a bull drinking a latte? Or a word to describe when one is lost but won't admit it:


"Yes I know exactly where we are, it's right here on the GPS. Latitude and longitude. See, there we are."

"Latibule. You don't know how to read that thing, give it here!"


I'm sure there's some hope for this word, somewhere. Just give me time...

Great random word choice. They're the most fun too.
