Short, stocky little people with big noses, beards, blue tunics, and red pointy hats. Once related to dwarves but got much shorter and weirder. During a war with goblins, when the dwarves were having a box shortage, the gnomes went off to look for a better life. Unfortunately, many were captured and made as slaves, tending the gardens of dumb suburban people. Some managed to escape, only to be eeking out a living in the woods and living in burrow-like homes, like those of hobbits. Worse yet, they had been cursed by an evil tract-house developer to freeze into a clay form when a human sees them. Despite this, they are occasionally stolen by certain creepy french girls. Lately, a few gnomes were free of the curse and appear to be traveling around the world, sending back silly postcards with their mugs on them. Sadly, one gnome was crushed to death by a 2000 pound ball of baked pizza dough covered with melted cheese. A wrongful-death lawsuit with the Domino's Pizza Corporation is pending.
Thank's to that french jr. high foreign-exchange bitch, my gnome's in Tokyo on the god-damn bullet train! Junior - mow the lawn! Where's the phone book...I want some pizza!....

Verb - The act of recklessly (under the influence of something illicit or mind altering) going around and stealing lawn gnomes for the sake of a collection purpose. IT is definately fun to take one of your favourite gnomes with you on vacation and take pictures of that gnome from different locations in the world and send it by postcard to the original owner.

The act of driving or walking around town and posing on either people you know, or random people's lawn. When they open the door and see everyone just standing there, their reactions are priceless.
The girls at the sleep over were bored, so they decided to go gnoming at random people's houses and laugh at their reactions.

Gnomeing is the act of taking garden gnomes from various houses. You must be wearing dark clothes, and it must be very very late. You may either discard the gnomes on someones lawn as a joke, or keep them; depending on your level of desperation for social interactions. Just never get caught with them.
