Those that know me know I like to make up words . . . or use words that aren’t used too often.  HaHa!!  Hey, it did wonders for my daughter’s vocabulary.  She was the only two year-old around who used ‘perhaps’ regularly in her everyday language. 

Here are a few of GG’s made-up words for your summer use!

~ resigoo = the stuff sticking to you after a bikini wax

~ teenile = someone who is way too old and/or out of shape for what she/he is wearing (like various women I see at the pool – or the 60 yr. old man in a Speedo!!)  

~ spenny = my short version for expensive (Sure I like that bathing suit, but it’s kind of spenny.)

~ fifty-footer = someone who looks really attractive from 50 feet away.  Closer examination reveals . . .

I like to make up words. My daughter laughs at me and my students smile, but adding a suffix to an existing word or creating a new word creates a more precise identification. Here is the first set in my own lexicon of words:

~ Grocerying: the act of grocery shopping (quicker to say “I’m grocerying” rather than “I’m at the grocery store)
~ Scrumbling: the act of scraping the black stuff off overdone toast (why don’t we have a word for this?)
~ Quizlet: a quiz worth very few points
~ Brassles: the spikes on a hairbrush (I think I was bored getting ready for work one morning)
