Les dgiêx mots 2011 - The 10 word challenge

cache: As promised, here's the first in our series on the words in this year's 10 word challenge for Les Nouvelles Chroniques du Don Balleine. The form cache is given but, as the very flexible and permissive "rules" go, you can treat that as the noun cache, or use any form of the verb cachi, or some derivative like cacheux (driver) or a compound or any idiom. Check out the dictionaries for inspiration. Perhaps you might imagine driving somewhere, and then fitting in the other nine words into the description of a rather mad drive. Or what might happen during a game of hide-and-seek? There are also places called La Cache. Of course, one of the other nine words on the list might provide you with a better starting point...

Here's a short list of cache-related words and phrases to help:

• la cache = drive
• cache! (int) go away, shoo!
• cachi = drive; drive away, exorcise, chase; thrust
• cache à ta route! = off you go!

• cache-muche = hide-and-seek; something done in secret, behind other's back
