Grammarian

A funny little word that you may hear your english teacher may use to imply that s/he is religious in regard to grammar. I've always taken it to mean that your grammar will be corrected without remorse.

gambarize

I will try harder
I will do my very best

A word created by an illustrious member of the internet sumo community.
Its a play on words of the Japanese word gambaru -gambarimasu, a succinct word best translating to "I will do my best".
Sumo Rikishi (wrestlers) when being interviewed often end with Ganbarimasu, 'I will do my best', but when translating to English the feeling in the word gambarimasu is lost, it lacks heart.
"gambarize"
sounds stronger and is a conjunction of gambarimasu and 'ize' in English, (to make more, become) eg: modernize.
Therefore gambarize means to try harder to do my best and an apt word for the tough training and rigours of sumo.
He is still young and has to gambarize.
I need to gambarize my sumo.
He himself says he will gambarize and climb back up the ranks.
I just want him to gambarize.
Great keiko. I'll have to endure the pain and gambarize!
Well, all I can do is gambarize the best I can.

grammaries

1. The breasts of an elderly woman.

2. Saggy, flat breasts that have a slight odor of sour milk or mildew.

3. Aged pancakes.
My grandmother Helga always made sure to roll up her grammaries and secure them with rubber bands to prevent the uncomfortable pinching that would occur if they slipped below her pant line.

When he returned home, John ate the leftover grammaries that had been sitting on the counter since last Tuesday.
