Pilfridge

Pronunciation: pil-frij
Sentence: Ralph didn't believe that what he did should be classified as pilfridge. He observed on a daily basis that people rarely ate all that they brought for lunch.

He was doing her a favor by shaving it down to a reasonable size.

Good definition,REMI! During 40+ years of work, I found it to be a regular occurrence- probably happening somewhere right now!

This has produced a great batch of words so far!
remistram - 2007-11-05: 10:47:00
It happens to all of us at least once during our working life!
purpleartichokes - 2007-11-05: 11:00:00
Happened with dip I brought in. Caught him in the act. Wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't double-dipping. And didn't have really poor oral hygiene. And I wasn't sure that it was his first offense and I had actually eaten the dip after him at some point. Yuck!
