This is the second project. 2 years ago

I finished 3 art projects based on a sentence I created using Hemmingway’s 6 word challenge: Xenization, the teterrimous but tenellous truth. 2 years ago

ptochology: (n) study of beggars and unemployment
ovablastic: making eggs burst open in the womb
lubency: (n) willingness; pleasure
xenization: (n) fact of traveling as a stranger
drollic: (adj) pertaining to puppet shows
pregnatress: (n) female power that generates or gives birth to something
somandric (body): (n) pertaining to the human body
vellicle: (n) something that pinches or holds fast
latibule: (n) hiding place
diffibulate: (v) to unbutton; to unbuckle
Sevidical: (adj) speaking cruel and harsh words
teterrimous: (adj) most foul
gleimous: (adj) full of phlegm
tenellous: (adj) somewhat tender
austerulous: (adj) somewhat or slightly brutal
scelidate: (adj) having legs

Yes, these words can be used in even the most intimate situations:
(In bed at night with your lover) Bloody vellicle, If I could just move an inch…
OR
I shall diffibulate your blouse now.

I have fun with new words, I always have. I’m delighted to have found out about savethewords.org ! I think it’s a great cause and I’m actually thinking of including some of these words in my next art project to raise awareness as well as get one of my messages across. 2 years ago

go to Save the Words and register to save words by re planting them in our every day interaction. 4 years ago

The Oxford English Dictionary has a webpage called Save the Words. It features hundreds of words whose existence is threatened by lack of use. You can adopt one (by incorporating it into your daily speech and writing) and help to save it from extinction!

These are some of the candidates I’m considering:

labascate – (v.) to begin to fall or slip
latibule – (n.) hiding place
prandicle – (n.) small meal
vicambulate – (v.) to walk about in the streets
boscaresque – (adj.) alluring; scenically wooded
snollygoster – (n.) a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician
ruriculous – (adj.) living in the country or in fields
sagittipotent – (adj.) having great ability in archery 4 years ago
