No unabridged dictionary is complete without the definition of Eleemosynary, but it's really rare to have the opportunity to use the word in Scrabble. My friend who lived with me rent-free for a year and ate all my food was a total eleemosynary. The Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation will be holding an eleemosynary event to benefit those HIV+ and their relatives.

Get the Elbert mug.A very unusual, hard to read girl. sometimes talkative and sometimes reserved, depending on who's around her. She loves unconditionally, and takes care of the friends she comes across. You can always spot her from far away because of the weirdly-girly and lacy things she chooses to wear. Known amongst those who get to know her at all as a person who won't shut up until she runs out of breathe, Ellee is a fun and beautiful person to be with. Just don't get on the wrong side of her, although she is a peaceful person, she'll attack you with her razor sharp words if you push her that little bit too far..
Person one: Is that Ellee?
Person two: The one dressed in lace, and bows and jeans? with the giant curls?
Person one: Yeah, it's her..
