  1. I am proposing a #NewWord to use instead of 'World War':

    WARGY ˈwȯr-jē 

    I derived it by combining the #words #war and #orgy.

    please try using it in a sentence and let's see if it works or not.

    #cyberlang #wargy

  2. I propose a new word that combines the lowbrow and the highbrow, for versatile usage.

    The word is:

    Fartulent

  6. AI Prompt: Make up a new English word to describe something that is both funny and sad.

    My response: Tragical?  Doomerous? Funtastrophe?

    AI response:
    Suggested Word: "Saddelicious"

    Definition: A blend of "sad" and "delicious," this term describes a situation, story, or experience that evokes both laughter and sadness simultaneously. It captures the complexity of emotions where humor is found in tragic or melancholic circumstances.

  23. New “old” word:

    precatory- to pray (from the Latin precari)

    I’ve heard precatory used in a legal sense before, where it indicates some kind of non-binding agreement or a kind of wish (for lack of a better term) but never in a religious context until it turned up in a summary sentence about the 1552 Prayer Book. (The Study of Anglicanism, p. 12) Now I’m going to have to think about where and how the two intersect. 🤔
