24 Apr 07 - 03:00 PM (#2034611) Subject: Folklore: Coining new words From: sian, west wales 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 |

27 Apr 07 - 09:52 AM (#2037109) Subject: RE: Folklore: Coining new words From: sian, west wales 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 |
