For Lack of Good Seasons

Today marks the return of my Word-A-Day assault on mutual-english-comprehension. Sadly, I don't remember a single one of the words I invented in the past... Oh criminy, month and a half since I last posted one. It doesn't matter. I'm (mildly) confident they all sucked, anyway.

Today's new word is:

Sprinter

What's that you say? The word "Sprinter" already exists? Like hell it does.

Sprinter
noun

That season occuring between Winter and Spring, noted for its general grey-ness and lack of truly interesting weather.

adjective
Of, relating to, occurring in, or appropriate to the season of Sprinter: sprinter day, sprinter gloom

[Middle-Californian portmanteau of Spring and Winter... and "Wing" sounded like crap.]
