I love saying weird words some reason.
I've been trying to make some new
weird words, but surprisingly, they're pretty hard to think up.
Here are a few that I came up with :
Muckspert,
Queidelfert,
Eyedinkyole,
Mrundellert.
These aren't so good. But that's what I love doing when I'm bored!
Sincerely,

Hi Ria
ReplyDeleteI work for a magazine and I like words too!
The weird, new words you've made up are fascinating. If J K Rowling had not finished writing the Harry Potter series, she would have
been tempted to borrow some. :-)
While surfing the net I once chanced upon a website named www.lettersofnote.com, in which I found this interesting post. I think you'll like it too.

When copywriter Robert Pirosh landed in Hollywood in 1934, eager to become a screenwriter, this is the letter he wrote and sent to all the directors, producers, and studio executives he could think of.
Dear Sir:
I like words. I like fat buttery words, such as ooze, turpitude, glutinous, toady. I like solemn, angular, creaky words, such as straitlaced, cantankerous, pecunious, valedictory. I like spurious, black-is-white words, such as mortician, liquidate, tonsorial, demi-monde. I like suave "V" words, such as Svengali, svelte, bravura, verve. I like crunchy, brittle, crackly words, such as splinter, grapple, jostle, crusty. I like sullen, crabbed, scowling words, such as skulk, glower, scabby, churl. I like Oh-Heavens, my-gracious, land's-sake words, such as tricksy, tucker, genteel, horrid. I like elegant, flowery words, such as estivate, peregrinate, elysium, halcyon. I like wormy, squirmy, mealy words, such as crawl, blubber, squeal, drip. I like sniggly, chuckling words, such as cowlick, gurgle, bubble and burp.
I like the word screenwriter better than copywriter, so I decided to quit my job in a New York advertising agency and try my luck in Hollywood, but before taking the plunge I went to Europe for a year of study, contemplation and horsing around.
I have just returned and I still like words.
May I have a few with you?

Dear Krishnamaam,
DeleteThank you for the wonderful post. I really enjoyed it. There were a lot of words for me that I'll need my dictionary for. But, yes. I love words.
I didn't know you worked for a magazine! That's great.
Thanks,
Ria ( RiRi )
