Word verification Balderdash (26)

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:

ickletat - noun - a slang term for a cute kitten, usually spoken in a singsong baby voice

trairm - noun - an elevated train, developed in the 1890s, that glided on a cushion of air; this invention was abandoned after a series of of accidents that resulted from the train veering off the tracks during windstorms

opallaru - noun - a quadrupedal mammal that lives in the grasslands of Africa; opallaru have been hunted almost to extinction by poachers who are after their unique, iridescent horns

singst - verb - an archaic and obsolete conjugation of the verb "sing"

SureU - noun - an institute of higher learning that, rather than teaching facts, teaches its students to believe in their own opinions... no matter how preposterous they might be; SureU, fittingly, offers online degree programs

trobbeg - noun - a mythical creature that lives in ditches along the sides of roadways and accosts passersby with pleas for money; trobbegs are similar in appearance to trolls, but have much poorer money management skills (hence their need to beg)
