Now, I will list one definition for each word. Some may have multiple definitions, but I will only list the most common.
1 - A sickly or weak person, especially one who is constantly and morbidly concerned with his or her health.
2 - Admiration of a particular part of someone's body.
3 - Delusion of a person who believes himself changed into an animal.
4 - A small quantity of something left over.
5 - Fear of failure.
6 - of, pertaining to, or resembling a hedgehog.
7 - To drink often; to eat and/or drink noisily.
8 - A platform of a staircase where the stair turns back in exactly the reverse direction of the lower flight. (And here I thought it meant to just take little steps)
9 - The day before yesterday. (boy was I way off on this one)
10 - Old English word for bagpipe.
