Week 2- Literary Legacy

Mission Two: Invent a Word
Status: Ongoing

I don't know if you've ever tried to invent a word, but it's a lot more difficult than it sounds. I've been struggling with it all week, with varying levels of failure. I figured it would be such a simple task- create a word that would easily slip into common usage and forever symbolise a major contribution I had made to the English language. I mean, I make up words all the time when I'm playing Scrabble, so how hard could it be? Very.

Here is a list of things I've been tossing around.

  • Flirk
  • Poimp
  • Skwarq
  • Jombo
  • Chertastic
  • Bookshelf
  • Pwnguin
As much as it pains me to admit it, I think the best I'm going to come up with, is Pornguin. The definition? A sexy penguin. Like this.

Lets never mention this weeks task again...
