This is going to be a simple game, but not so simply done. People going to or from another language often stumble to find a word. Sometimes for a word that does not really exist for a specific idea they want to communicate. Language is the verbalization of a feeling, impression or idea. In that theme, create a new word, using base roots to describe the feeling you get when ride in a car over a really good fun bump. Better yet, create two words, one based on root word and another less serious that expresses the feeling.
Happy creating,
Twist

This game was only posted Friday, you could wait a few more days
ReplyDeleteOk, I only said that because everyone was pushing me last time to judge and close.
ReplyDeleteOk, granted it hasn't been a week, but I think everyone's submitted an entry that wants to do it. I really liked Fromagette's fun word "Autofliegendenuberrashungsvergnugen", but it was at little too long. I'd like a more compact version so I'm going to say Delirious is the winner with "Hyperturbulation" and "tumblewillies".
