A few years ago, now, playing Scrabble with Best Mate and other friends, I put down the word ‘clowny’. OK, I knew it was a bit dodgy but I stood my ground even if P was very miffed that I could get away with it and, although she was almost certain it was a fake, would not risk losing a go in case it was a real word.
It is my desire to make this word ‘real’ one day. The more I mention it the more chance it has of becoming real. Of course, if you Google it (see that’s a made-up verb) you will find hundreds of pages featuring the word. That doesn’t exactly make it real, of course, but it’s certainly heading there.
And today, Pietro gave me another word that I really do like. What’s the opposite of anticipate? Why, posticipate, of course.
Having used it a few times now, I do understand why it was never a real word – it’s a bit of a tongue twister. However, nice word and I really like it.
Thanks, Pietro
You’re welcome. If you need some others, ask. Since I do not know english (please remember!) I’m able to create new words everyday!
You know English far better than I know Italian …. remember? If I was even slightly good at Italian I’m sure I could create new words too
