Folklore: Coining new words |

Subject: Folklore: Coining new words From: sian, west wales Date: 24 Apr 07 - 03:00 PM Should we have a Mudcat vocabularly, I wonder? Does anyone have a word for when two or more thread titles appear consecutively creating a composite message? I ask the question provoked by the current listings: "Happy Birthday Crane Driver" followed by "My God, is he still alive". In this particular case, "and kicking" would be the appropriate answer. Anyway, similar couplings appear from time to time. Do we need a word for it? What other words do we need to coin? sian |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Apr 07 - 06:59 PM Threadled? Thread and Muddled. Certainly covers the dylsexed thread titles! LTS |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: Sorcha Date: 25 Apr 07 - 04:28 PM We could make one up in our sensetory. My sister used to all the time. |
Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: Amos Date: 25 Apr 07 - 05:13 PM I think of such coincidence as Serendipitous Conflatitularities. A |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: EBarnacle Date: 25 Apr 07 - 09:58 PM It's getting junglous out there. |
Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: michaelr Date: 26 Apr 07 - 07:41 PM Stupendulous! |
Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: sian, west wales Date: 27 Apr 07 - 09:52 AM Junglous indeed. But stupendulous in its own pseudoconcordial way. The serendiprocity of titles being sequithreaded sends me all threadled. (Isn't there something in the Bible about it being easier for a camel to be threadled than for a poor man to ... somethingorother?) Sorch: what's a sensetory? Bert: apologies. It's a thread I didn't follow, but will look. sian |
