Nema Problema! (my 'old country' ancestors who spoke borken English came up with 'nema problema') Their English-ized way of saying no problem. So your "neeblamme" brought back wonderful memories of my grandmother and her friends. Nice blend! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-06: 16:53:00

Bendeavor

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ben dev or

Sentence: It was in MacArthur Park that Tira Misu found her stollen cake. She had risen early to bake it and oventually she had cooled it enough to be able to frost it. It had been on the table, near the open window and then it was gone. Someone had made it a bendeavor and now she would have to start all over. Retrieving her plate in the rain, with the soggy mess of a cake, Sally spied Duncan Hines in the bush. He used to be sweet on her, sent her flours and she had once been fondant of him. But now,like eggs, she wanted to be separated from him and she just wanted to beat him until creamy, batter him and pound him until he was Devil's Food. After she had panned him, he became a sponge and trifled with her affections until she wanted to Bundt this fruitcake out of her life. Now the only way she could be rid of him was to hire a lawyer and have him file a torte against Duncan. May he rot in Hell, at 350 for eternity! Doesn't that take the cake, she thought,Hines-sight is so much clearer!

Etymology: Bend (turn from a straight course , fixed direction, or line of interest;spoil) & Endeavor (a purposeful or industrious undertaking (especially one that requires effort or boldness);earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something )

COMMENTS:

Very unique and stunning in it's simplicity ... once I read the etymology ... I got it! Finally! Very unique! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-06: 07:38:00

Eponymic words, a great way to go! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-06: 16:32:00

Apparently I exceeded the character limit on the etymology here. And the sentence is absolutely true. Except that I really had only just started the project. And I didn't actually deform my mouse. And I guess I wasn't really all that upset either. - ErWenn, 2008-02-06: 23:19:00

I try to change it up every now and then. Only so much portmanteau I can take, so sometimes I try to coin words after people, conjugate or rearrange phrases (a la Mustang's "heartwrench"), or piece together a word from prefixes, roots, and suffixes (as in "necrohippoflict"). Sadly, I rarely get any votes when I do. - ErWenn, 2008-02-06: 23:22:00

Anyone have any other gimmicks that they use to construct words? - ErWenn, 2008-02-06: 23:23:00

The face and fists were an excellent portrayal of her anger and frustration! I tried to match that drama in your caricature with the words in my sentence. Very inspiring!

So many great creates every day by such excellent wordsmiths, that I have trouble voting because it's hard to limit my choice for best to just two! I'm also amazed at all the new creations for the temporary re-run of old definitions! Almost proves everything is better the second time around!
