Verified words? - 7-th edition

Here are more of the "word verifications" I spotted while commenting on blogs; along with my impression of their meaning. Each one has been verified against dictionary.com and wikipedia. First edition was posted as Round 1. Today's words:

slychapi
dictionary.com - NOT a word, suggested "Soleship"
wikipedia - NOT a word, suggested "Schapiro"
Lew's definition: sly-chap-i - Self appointed clever guy.

porinker
dictionary.com - NOT a word, suggested "prinker"
wikipedia - NOT a word, suggested "porringer"
Lew's definition: por-ink-er - Bent nib on a writing instrument.

tripasm
dictionary.com - NOT a word, suggested "tropism"
wikipedia - NOT a word, suggested "trips"
Lew's definition: trip-asm - What your back has after 500 miles in the car.

I dread word verfications for exactly the same reasons you mentioned your Round 1. That's exactly why you don't see it on my blog.

Having said that I like the way you have looked at the positive part of this and come out with these cool definations. Way to go Lew...Thomas
