Butterflious

Butterflious: adjective. Describing something which is vaguely related to a butterfly and is also most definitely marvellous. For example in 1935 a German constructor named Wilhelm Schonitz constructed a giant butterfly net, which was intended to catch happy emotions, as they floated towards the heavens and then redistribute the happiness amongst the suffering populace. This idea was called butterflious by many, until it was used to aid the Nazi was effort, having been reconfigured to capture idealism, rashness, irrationality and violence. Some believe that the net was actually one of the main causes of World War Two.
