I am not kidding - the very first cohesive thought I had this morning, in my groggy awakening state, was the following revised chorus for the song Blinded by the Light:

• I was rinded by the white; wrapped up like a Brie, another Camembert delight

How ridiculous! I believe that the word rind is normally a noun. The only verbal definition I found on dictionary.com was "to remove the rind". Yet this morning I brilliantly created a new verbal meaning: "to be enclosed in a rind".

Go ahead. Say it. It's not the first time I've said something a bit cheesy.
