Age dyslexia is as clever, fun and funny as demoralizageshun. (big grin). Greate creates! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-05: 06:10:00

Clever blend & funny sentence. "1551" - reminds me of the "1661 Syndrome", where one looks attractive from the back (16), but not so attractive from the face (61)! - OZZIEBOB, 2008-02-05: 15:44:00

Wow, fraternal twins of different ages! I think I remember hearing about that in a science documentary on the Theory of Relativity once, involving one twin travelling in a really fast spaceship. - Tigger, 2008-02-05: 02:48:00

Great word, BTW! - Tigger, 2008-02-05: 02:52:00

good one again OZZIE! - bananabender, 2008-02-05: 04:24:00

Very interesting word Ozziebob. It reminds me of some other word, but im not sure. Very soft sounding word without being too harsh. Cool! - Dougalistic, 2008-02-05: 04:52:00

Such a romantic way of putting it ... evoking the empathy we all have for each other as the years pass. Doug said it better in the last sentence of his comment ... it is so soft. - silveryaspen, 2008-02-05: 07:07:00

I second all of the above! (Especially silveryaspen's comment about how romantic it sounds.) You got my vote! - Maxine, 2008-02-05: 07:26:00

Fantastic word. - ErWenn, 2008-02-05: 10:13:00

Pronunciation: fibij

Sentence: It was common in the college town he grew up in for high schoolers to try to pass themselves off as college students. Wendell was never very successful at it. Maybe it was the way his voice cracked every time he got excited or the complete lack of facial or body hair. Perhaps it was that someone had seen his mother drop him off. Whatever the case, his fibbage would always be revealed. To make matters worse, girls would often not believe he was even in high school.

Etymology: fib (a lie, typically an unimportant one) + age (the length of time that a person has lived)
