Wildermess<\/strong>: \/rhymes with wilderness<\/em>\/ The thing that struck me most from my sojourn to the Himalayas, was the utter beauty of the wildermess – the smog dusted snow, the accretions of debris in the base camp and the sparkling PET bottles, like diamonds on the rocky scree. Etymology:<\/em> wilderness (pristine landscape untouched by humans – well, almost) + mess (garbage, or untidiness especially created by the human hand) Created by:<\/em> petaj.<\/p>\n

meaningful pull, meaning readily apparent, fits the definition like a glove on a hand, great use of irony, and wildermess is so pervasive! Will use this word a lot! <\/p>\n

Garbingers<\/strong>: \/gahr-bihn-gherz<\/em>\/ Once it had warmed up, Grandpa Bill loved taking little Olive out for walks or drives. He could point out all the garbingers of Spring clothing the countryside: the Cokasis, the PigglyWigglias, the Walmarthias, the Safewaysias, and in more exclusive areas, the rare TraderJoenums and Rodeodrendums. Etymology:<\/em> GARB, meaning clothing + GARBAGE, meaning refuse + HARBINGER, meaning a precursor or herald Created by:<\/em> readerwriter.<\/p>\n

Styroflowers<\/strong>: \/sti + roh + flah + wurs<\/em>\/ I wakened to the sights and sounds of Spring this morning, with the many colorful birds singing their April melodies. The dew was fresh on the lawn and there was a breeze bringing warm, sweet air with it. I next heard the rustle of the trashtrees with their little baggie buds waving on the ends of their branches; accompanied by large white styroflowers which had bloomed everywhere. Ahhh, this would truly be a sight to remember….styrospring at its best. Etymology:<\/em> Styrofoam (light resilient foam of polystyrene)and Flowers Created by:<\/em> mweinmann.<\/p>\n

Artdecomposing<\/strong>: \/art-dee-calm-pose-ing<\/em>\/ There is a new avant-garbage exhibition in our neighbourhood called artdecomposing. Complementary face masks are being distributed. Etymology:<\/em> art deco + decomposing Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n
