Signs of Intelligence?

I have been at some NAGGL (National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders) training this week in San Antonio, and just got back this afternoon. Our training was conducted at the Sheraton Gunter in downtown S.A., and it is a nice hotel. At one point during the training, I ducked out the back door to make use of the facilities, and noticed this sign on the wall next to the back door to our meeting room. I had to take a picture to share with you.



So, here is today's contest. Give me a definition of the word "quardangle". Best definition wins! (Brit, this could be your chance to snag the fertility goddess!)

***UPDATE***

I am unable to call a winner in the last contest. I think that I will have to call it a tie between KarenD and MAB. I liked Lydia's and Brit's entries as well, (especially Brit's use of piffle), but these two had the shortest, most coherent sentences using some really depressing words. (I disqualified my limerick because I am not sure it rhymes, nor does it have the proper meter.) Meanwhile, I will work on what fabulous prize these two can share.

Writing Contest

Recently, on one of the blogs that I frequent, we were asked to write a sentence using a list of words, and MAB, the blogster who started this bit of puffery asked me to present a list of words for the next round of the contest. So here they are.

ameliorate
egregious
lobotomize
perfunctory
sardonic
succinct
tête-à-tête

The rules are simple. Write a single sentence using as many of the words as you can (forms of the words can also be used, ie. succinctly or sardonically). We will read your sentence and enjoy the results.

Special Cliff Rule(s): You can't use the word incorrectly, and then say the word that you meant, you should punctuate properly, have no more than one parenthetical comment, and for goodness sake, don't use the word(?) 'anyways'.

So get to thinking and come up with your own original sentence. This would be a great time for any of you who might, by chance, read this blog, to speak up.
