Hi, Word Lovers:
Do you love words as much as I do? I guess that’s why I adopted the persona “Word Woman.” In the coming months, I hope to enjoy chatting with you on such topics as: words to shape the 21st Century, words coined by Shakespeare, and coining your own words.
Speaking of coining your own words, I coined my own word, “wordabulous,” to describe what I hope to be a fun way to communicate. To live “wordabulous-ly” is to use words effectively when writing, speaking, texting, e-mailing and blogging.
Here’s an example. Take the word, “wordabulous.” I fused the words, “word” and “fabulous” to describe the way life can be lived if we use words creatively and in a fun way. Since I like the sound and the meaning of the word “fabulous” so much, it can be applied to many things to coin such words as: “blab-ulous,” to describe a person who loves to talk. Someone who loves barbecued ribs might be “slabulous,” as well as a mortician who loves his job. A seafood lover might be “crabulous.” A chemistry enthusiast might be “labulous,” and a boxer might be described as “jabulous.” Get it?
Now, coin your own, and get back to me. . . and have a “wordabulous” day!
(Have you created a new word?)
