W is for WAQIF
Welcome to all you wonderful wordsmiths who, at this stage, are also weary, washed-out, wrecked worrywarts and waffling along to the end of the challenge. Well done to all you whacky, wise-crack writers who are wavering and wringing your hands in wild wonder as you whoooooooosh warmheartedly across the blogoverse. Wow! Three days left. Whoopee! *whistles*
Yóu xì bî mò fãn yì fei huà……..
— is an old Chinese philosophy which refers to somebody who has the innate ability to decipher unusual words.
JUST JOKING.
(you can read the details about this challenge and the competition running throughout the month of April)
The word for Day 23 is—
WAQIF
The thumping sound in my brain as it drains, minute-by-minute, trying to cope with the A to Z madness… WAQ–if WAQ–if WAQ–if WAQ–if WAQ–if WAQ–if WAQ–if……..
So that's my definition. What's yours? Post it in the comment box below. Remember you stand to win a prize.
Woot! Whoo Hoo! Wowza! I can't believe it!
Wowee! *whistles* Well, a whopping 20-something days has passed – we're all winners!!
Lately, I'm pretty exhausted with fried brains. I don't think its thumping all that much.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
You're right. The thumping stage has passed. It's now NUMB. 🙂
WAQIF is an acronym for World Association of Qualified Intellectual Frauds.
Whoa! You mean those wolfish wicked wastrels who waste their wages and waylay unsuspecting victims…?
Carol's definition has me cracking up. Umm.
Waqif . . .A hat and scarf combination that protects the wearer from the wild ice storms on the fictional planet Ghaquin.
Wow! You whipped up a way-out but wonderful definition, Tyrean!
I think it stands for Writers Attempting Queries in Force.
Hmmm… that sounds like a strategy of sorts… reminds me of DL's blog blitz concept… hey what about a query blitz? It could be called a Query Quake?
It's got to be an expression when a person is confused or shocked about hearing something.
WAQUIF? You've got to be kidding me….
Like a spin off from WTF? Or something similar…?
Oh, I just read Alex's response… GOOD ONE!!!
It's priceless. 🙂
hahaha – This was fun!
Thanks M.J.
Whoppee, too!! I weally need some west! (Said like the true Elmer Fud I am.)
Elmer Fudd is too cute!
Waqif is a government developed organism. They say it's being developed to clean spilt oil from the oceans. But many know that they really want these organisms to find more oil reserves closer to the ocean floor. Some activists actually believe the government is trying to grow them into more labor intensive creatures which would actually do the digging enough for a simpler extraction of the oil.
There could be some good possibilities from this, but all I can think of is the movie Mimic.
Well, since I'm movie-challenged, that means you lost me at the end…
All I can think is some kind of arcane programming language.
To me, all programming language is Greek…
It's yet another computer program I can't master.
I am generally techno-challenged. Period.

Nice to meet you Afshan. 🙂
This has me stumped. Interesting word.
Thanks Medeia.
WAQIF – Parents of young children who have night terrors, or want to eat breakfast before 6am often say, " WAQIF there is an emergency; otherwise let me sleep."
… and I'll be quoting the above words when the A to Z Challenge is over… because I need sleep…
Hmmm… It's a question used by a writer that heard "What if" wrong the first time.
I'm not surprised that writers hear wrong phrases… considering that there are always characters inside their heads, clamouring for attention too… the hearing becomes impaired… LOL
