I think I'll write a story about a spermologer who goes queerplunging for kicks, after using tyromancy to make sure he'll survive, all while being watched by his wonder-wench.

I don't even know what it is yet, but I wanna be a wonder-wench.

I don't even know what it is yet, but I wanna get me a pussyvan.

Methinks you would make a great wonder-wench.

I don't even know what it is yet, but I wanna get me a pussyvan.

No, no, you have to have a pussyvan.

"Jessica's tireless ranting made him erupt into a pussyvan."

You know, no matter how it's written, it would always make me snicker.

I wonder if Ben is really imagining a van of pussy.

in an interesting shade of nipple-pink, perhaps?

Oh, I don't know, JBJ. Henceforth I shall always regard you as a snoutfair fellow.

Would that be the patrolling female slut version of the Bang Bus, then?

 

[slyc_willie]

Oh, I don't know, JBJ. Henceforth I shall always regard you as a snoutfair fellow.

Or, maybe beef-witted?

Those words read like the shit bureaucrats/perfessers invent. Those words are like the dum crap your little brother usta make outta Tinker Toys.

So, you're saying they're like the words "perfessers," "dum," and "usta," then.

Has anyone ever invented a new word in their writing? The friend who encouraged me to write a novel put me on to his habit. I have such creations in my novel. I can only imagine a detail obsessed reader scouring the internet for a definition. The rules he abides by are to have the word not an obvious misspelling and yet self-defining.

I feel like I must have done that at some point but I can't think of one at the moment, mostly because things like that really tend to be one-use. I really love the term "with squirrel" and would love to use it in my current story that involves a great deal of impregnation and pregnancy, but I really don't think even I could pull off using it.

 

[SandraMustard]

Yes, JB, I noted the roots of the phrase "with squirrel" as being country. I have country roots since my parents were born and raised in Tennessee but I've don't recall ever hearing it. In my novel, I exaggerate that heritage by using folksy words like fixing, holler, reckon, and 'git' in dialogue. I could get away with using the phrase if I write a sequel that covers my childbearing years.

Regarding the word invention post I made, my friend lays claim to creating 'afterspurtle' to describe the after ejaculation dribbles a man has. I created 'sexitizer' as a synonym for clitoris, meaning a sex energizer.
