I asked my daughter how she liked my new haircut, and she said, "It's snazzola!" I made up that word a long time ago, and we all use it. It means really, really snazzy! Another name I've made up is "yahooligan." It is a combination of yahoo and hooligan, making the person both an uncultivated lout and a hoodlum

Do you have some?

"Spazzwad," 'gliffle," "yangaloid mongohedron,"
and gretch" Those are nonsense. "Etrahation," form Latin ex," and "trahere," literally meaning, "to drag through," is the word I use for teaching to the test. See Kalleh's "Words from the far left and the far right" in The Written Word.

Kalleh, I have noticed Geoff makes up new words all the times. He puts a twist on existing words. It amuses me the way he is able to do this, a talent I definitely don't have.

I have noticed that, too, Sattva. For example, he made up the word "daffynition" in the bluffing game. I am not as good as Geoff is, but I do it too. My son always used to like those Pepperidge Farm Flavor Blasted Xtra Cheddar Goldfish. What a name! So I started calling them Blasters, and then my son and all his friends called them that, too.

What about yours, Sattva?

Only the ones from Cheddar, Somerset, I'll bet.

Yep, they are little crackers .

Whew! I'm glad it's not THESE crackers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracker_(pejorative)

A college friend invented an adjective from the epithet "a-----e" ("a-----ular," accent on "hol"). Still love that word.

I like Geoff's T. Rump.
