The tony fitch gitterned with a flump (Part II)

To all those who thought you knew how to speak English:

1. Flocky: In flakes
“What deliciously flocky pastry” said his aunt

2. Sice: The number six, when on a dice
Jimmy rolled again, and, to his joy, scored a sice

3. Tony: stylish, fashionable
Cheryl still hasn´t realised that shoulder pads just aren´t tony

4. Bumbledom: Ostentatiousness, vanity
Wayne´s bumbledom was his most unappealing trait

5. Twitting: A reprimand, rebuke or reproach
Adrian received a harsh twitting for wearing an unironed shirt

6. Trig: Elegant, well-dressed, tidy
Nigel didn´t get past the first interview as he wasn´t sufficiently trig

7. Gittern: To play the zither
Mr Fanshaw went weak at the knees as he listened to Eleanor´s masterful gitterning

8. Flump: Noise caused by something being tossed to the floor
Gerald kicked off his slippers with a dull flump

9. Jib: To refuse to walk (an animal)
The camel jibbed and we were stranded out in the sandstorm

10. Sot: Inebriated
Five pints of Snakebite and Black left Gregory completely sot

And fitch? What on earth is a fitch?
Well, of course, it is a polecat, or the hair thereof:
The Gucci fitch scarf is this season´s must-have item
