Have you ever wondered where words come from? Like, who decided that dogs would be called dogs, etc. Well even if you haven't [which is probable because sane people don't really think about these things] I have on many occasions, and though I haven't come up with an answer, I have realised something relevant [for once]:
It must have been really fucking hard.
I mean, there's what? 50,000 words in english. That tally probably doesn't even count all the technical and scientific ones. And thats just english. Think of all the other languages. German has a word for practically every phrase that we have. How many fucking words would that take??!!
I tried to make up words today. One was successful and described the magical ability of Jamila's backyard to be anywhere it want's to be [it's also massive with hills and rivers and a snow place where Santa takes his summer holidays], but I forgot that coz it was long. Then while waiting for the loop bus I tried to make a word for when I served people. Here's how it went:
"How can you merge my nameand served?? Perved?? No." /Shannon bursts into laughter.
After successfully making an ass of myself, I came to the conclusion that making new words was often disastrous, and therefore awesome. [Obviously.] As such, new discussion board thing for new words on the fb page. Say the word and what it means.
DO IT NOW!!!!
