Word verification Balderdash (22)

This fun meme was started by Sheila over at One Persons Journey through a world of Books, and is now hosted by Ryan G of Wordsmithonia.
This is the weekly meme where anyone who wishes to play along can take those crazy word verifications they have had over the past week and apply a fake definition to them (much like how you play the board game Balderdash).

Here are this week's words:

alids - plural noun - a type of insect that manages to get into closed containers, no matter how tightly you screw on the tops

comperpi - transitive verb - being an accomplice perpetrator to a crime

cotio - noun - a patio that has been enclosed and converted for use as a temporary bedroom with cots instead of beds

ingrubro - adjective - refers to having the skin covered with a seemingly indelible layer of dirt; the female equivalent is ingrubsis, but this is more rare

millneap - noun - a dusty waste product that is found on the floors of flax mills

upega - magical exclamation - a word used to compel Pegasi to take flight

  2. Great words and definitions! I like the word upega to get Pegasi to fly. And I always have wondered how alids get into those containers.

    Great words!
