Glebe Hotel Take Notice!!



I can't help but notice that although love and passion for word combining has in no way diminished here in our humbode, it has lost a bit of vigor.
SO.
Here to amuse us in a different but similar vein, are Nonce Words.

Found in GOOD Magazine:
"nonce words: terms coined for a single occasion that don’t catch on at all.

For example, mossify, poorify, princify, tubify, and pumkinfier—all rare, oddball words to be sure, demonstrating both the productivity of -ify and the timeless tendency to newify language with novel words. Many of the old gems are fairly self defining—like dastardling, deericide, demonette, infantocracy, moanification, pigfully, poundiferous, squirtical, tigerocious, and traitorology."

Let the ridicibellious games begin.

GOOD magazine is scrumtulicious.
