Palzheimers<\/strong>: \/palsz-HI-merz<\/em>\/ When Bob couldn’t remember the names of his five former partners and his ten children, the judge wondered whether he was suffering from palzheimers, or that his namewashing was just a last-hitch attempt to avoid palimony. Etymology:<\/em> Blend of PAL: close friend, confidante etc & ALZHEIMERS: Used in the familiar and jocular sense for memory loss. Created by:<\/em> OZZIEBOB.<\/p>\n

\nAch! You beat me to the Alzheimer’s! (so to speak!)Well done, love your word.<\/p>\n

ErWenn<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 09:56:00<\/em>
\nGood word. Kind of a sad idea, though.<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 10:20:00<\/em>
\nThe opposite of palzheimers might be wisenheimers! Palzheimers might be a form of palsy of the brain! Your word is so evocative of so much! Stunningly great!<\/p>\n

\nUnforgettable word, Bob!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whodonym<\/strong>: \/-hoo-do-nim-<\/em>\/ Jason always called his fiancee by pet names, such as “Sweetheart” or “Honey,” and although her name was actually ‘Mary Louise’ all her friends just called her “Lou”. So when he introduced her to his cousin before the wedding, he got a case of ‘brain lock’ and all he could think of were whodonyms. Then, at the chapel, when the priest asked, “Do you take Mary Louise to be your lawfully wedded wife?” Jason’s nervous first response was to ask, “Who?”. It was beginning to look like the honeymoon wasn’t going to be as pleasant and relaxing as he’d hoped. Etymology:<\/em> Who – what person? (from Old English, hw\u00c4\u0081 “who”) + pseudonym – a fictitious or pen name (from Greek, pseudonymos “having a false name”) Created by:<\/em> Tigger.<\/p>\n

\nI’ll be using “brain lock” … great pairing! A Whodlum hopes everyone, especially the cops, have brain lock and whodonyms? Innovative!<\/p>\n

\nVery creative: a real word!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nomit<\/strong>: \/an-uh-nim<\/em>\/ On a regular basis, John nomits who he is with and just calls them ‘Buddy’ and ‘Babe’. Etymology:<\/em> nom (name) + omit Created by:<\/em> Stevenson0.<\/p>\n

\nUncomplicated but oh so powerful! Excellent creation!<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 19:01:00<\/em>
\nI agree, Erwenn! Well put!<\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 19:04:00<\/em>
\nStevenson, every time I think of nomit, I think of gnome … how in the world did you keep from making your sentence about gnomes? I’ve felt compelled all day to say your word (not sentence) has such a mythical and magical ambiance! So I finally said it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Goniker<\/strong>: \/gawn-ih-kur<\/em>\/ Alas, Bob would never have a second date with the stunning brunette because in a moment of goniker, he called her Fifi instead of Fiona. Etymology:<\/em> gone, moniker Created by:<\/em> purpleartichokes.<\/p>\n

Comments on Goniker:<\/strong><\/p>\n

silveryaspen<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 10:38:00<\/em>
\nGoniker goner! Laughing uncontrollably after reading your sentence! It is so fun to say, just saying it makes me smile. Right fit! Nice bite to it. Supberb word!<\/p>\n

\nBob – isn’t he the one with palzheimers?<\/p>\n

\nGreat comment purpleartichokes! Today’s creates have filled my head full of fun things … and it’s great when they fill it with music! Even when I wish I had a stop\/play button after it repeats itself for too long!<\/p>\n

Tigger<\/a><\/strong>, 2008-03-04: 18:45:00<\/em>
\nHere’s a tune for the day: “Uhm, forgettable, that’s what you are. Uhm, forgettable, though near or far…” – Nat King Cole (not referring to you BTW, purpleartichokes!!)<\/p>\n
