Look at this dictionary definition . What do you think the missing word is?
___________________ is a person who puts metal in your mouth and takes coins out of your pocket.
A different kind of dictionary
Ambroce Bierce was a 19th-century American author and journalist. His most popular book is probably the Devil's Dictionary, written between 1881 and 1887. Bierce's dictionary does not contain normal definitions- his definitions are funny and cynical. For example, in a normal dictionary , the definition od dentist is " a kind of doctor who looks after people's teeth". But in the Devil's Dictionary , the definition of a dentist is " a person who puts metal in your outh and takes coins out of your pocket".
Look some more example but this time look for the owrd to complete the following definitions!
A BANK - A BORING PERSON- THE BRAIN- A STAR- A FRIEND- A SECRET
1. _________________ is a person who works all her life to become famous and then wears sunglasses so people don't recognize her.
2. _________________ is something which you only tell one person.
3. _________________ is somebody who talks about himself when you want to talk about yourself.
4. _________________ is somebody who dislikes the same people as you.
5. _________________ is a place where you can borrow money only if you can show that you don't need it.
