English - revisited
I read somewhere recently that Mr W. Shakespeare ( billy boy to his mates) is somewhat renowned for his ability to have conjured up new words ( although quite old and well used/known now).
I do not doubt this , although I cannot recall any at the moment BUT...I thought it could be quite fun to try and create some new words of our own.
The rules are:
No pinching foreign words directly.
No looking up unknown words in any dictionary and passing them off as new words
You must devise a totally new word
Its meaning must be revealed (no bloody silly guessing games)
Nothing offensive or bigoted
The word should try and resemble its meaning as best possible
With any luck we may create a whole new vocabulary with which to confues the crap ot of anyone not registered on these forums.
Wahoo
