Number3isacausation

Number3isacausation: noun. An ulterior motive for number3ising outside of grammatical reasons. Unlike number4isation which retains its meaning even if the “3” is replaced with another number, number3isacausation’s “3” can only be replaced with a prime number, otherwise it will be number4isacausation which is a grammatical motive for number5ising a word. While this can be done for any reason (other than grammar), number5isacausation has been used very often by dishonest employees of businesses to get authority in the business which usually ends with the business ending soon after the employee has achieved his goal, the collapses are usually a result of the same thing that caused the employee not to be promoted to the position they achieved so dishonestly. To limit the number of businesses to fall victim to number6isation related collapses, this blog will not explain how number7isation can be used to obtain undeserved authority.

Undefendable

Undefendable: adjective. Not able to be protected against an attack. As opposed to being indefensible, being undefendable pertains solely to material objects, usually large ones for that matter. Therefore, an argument may be indefensible, while a castle may be that, as well as being undefendable. A stamp, on the other hand, is described by neither of these - it is defenceless.  

Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia

Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia: Noun. The mysterious fear of being diagnosed with a condition posted on the blog: Enriching the English Dictionary. This fear is increasing in potency and frequency as more posts are made and saw a massive increase after the 14th of August. The writers for this blog have been interviewed on this issue, after a long pause and a private conversation which included violent gesticulation one for the writers had this to say: “We feel very sorry for anyone affected by this condition, but we feel that shutting down the blog would do more harm than good, measuring the beneficial effects of each post shows larger results than the increase of suffering due to Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia. However we strongly support any charities that put in the effort to help people suffering from this condition.” The most popular charity that worked for Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobics was the No-Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia act, which could be found on Vetusestverbumpersingulosdies.librolocus.com this organization got almost 4 supporters (Whether or not the writers for Enriching the English Dictionary were among these is unknown) Around 15 minutes after this organization was formed it stopped and its records were lost, this is likely due to it running out of funding, which was likely due to it being a disorganization.

Carfield

Carfield: noun. Although it may seem like a quite rational assumption, a carfield is not a fat and orange cat that derives pleasure from eating lasagnes and kicking pesky dogs while riding or driving a car. Quite the contrary, a carfield is simply the word for “car park” or “parking lot.” The reason why this new word was invented is unknown, but anglolologists hypothesise that the word was sneakily sneaked into the vocabulary of native English speakers to prevent passionate arguments between the Brits and the Americans over which term is to be used. 

Grinchy

Grinchy: adjective. Having a characteristic typical of the infamous Dr Seuss character, the Grinch. A person described as grinchy may, however, not be evil, greedy, coarse, bitter and irritable. In fact, when one is described as grinchy, they may just be green, small-hearted or dressed in a Santa costume. Therefore, Santa Claus (who is better known in the world of lawyers as Santa Clause) might legitimately be called grinchy.  

Anglolologism

Anglolologism: noun. The study of the English language, words derived from it and people living in English speaking environments. An expert on this topic receives a degree and is henceforth called an anglolologist. Anglolologism is not to be confused with Analogologism, which is the study of making analogue clocks, televisions or anything else that functions on this principle.

Disorganization

Disorganization: Noun. a collection of people roughly identified by a vague set of shared interest, or purpose, or something, e.g. a business that wasn’t planned very well. Someone employed by a disorganization can be identified by them being in the building and kind of wearing similar clothes to the other people there one would guess and maybe their shirt is tucked in or something. There has been some controversy on where the separation of organizations and disorganizations should be. On one side, the extreme argument is that it is a disorganization if as much as 1 document is out of alphabetical, numerical and alpacabetable order. The other extreme is that it is an organization if it has as much as 1 document in alphabetical, numerical or alpacabetical order.

Alpacabetical

Alpacabetical:  Adjective. Ordered dependent on the motions of an alpaca. To put documents in alpacabetical order, one must print all existing documents and place them equal distances from the alpaca and wait for the alpaca to either walk up to a document to eat it, examine it, criticize it, etc. or for the alpaca to starve, unable to choose which document to approach. The alpaca cannot be fed before it approaches a document because that may affect the decision it makes. If the alpaca chooses a document, then it can be fed before the same test is done, removing the document the alpaca chose, when all documents have been chosen they can be put in the order that the alpaca chose them to be organized in alpacabetical order. If the alpaca dies during this test or a new document is created then the entire test must be redone to determine the proper, alpacabetical order.

Literality

Literality: noun. The measure of how literal someone is; therefore one can have a literality ranging from low literality to high literality, depending on how figurative one is.Literality has been standardly measured in varying tests since the 1850's. For example, the famous "Great Big Test" from 1864, held by THE VICTORIAN SOCIETY included an entire section which was meant to determine the overall literality of the population of Guernsey.

Prepetrichor

Prepetrichor: noun. The smell of dry earth before rain. As everyone knows, the smell of dry earth after rain is known as petrichor, but few people are aware of its sister word, prepetrichor. It was coined in 1965 by two New Zealand researchers, Grizzly and Peter, for an article in the journal Forest. Nobody is entirely sure what causes prepetrichor and there are various theories all offering an explanation, ranging from bacteria to fungal miniature apple pods. None of the theories have been confirmed and some people actually claim that prepetrichor is a myth. That, however, is obviously a lie. 

Intranthropology

Intranthropology: noun. The study of humans within humans. This does not necessarily have to refer to complete humans in humans, it can mean only parts of humans within other humans. However, generally an intranthropologist is required and sought out in cases of miniaturisation or accidental hand removal during heart surgery. The famous professor Harold Ubrigg Man was the pioneer of intranthropology and made many of the conclusions which allowed the science to become as popular as it is today.

Autopsychoanalysideolipsic

Autopsychoanalysideolipsic: adjective. Describing someone who is obsessed with analysing his own psychological behaviour and condition. This is a common symptom of psycho-hypochondria and is considered a very serious and often traumatic obsession which can have severe side-effects. Autopsychoanalysideolipsia is characterised by a compulsion to take different, often online and free, tests, which offer to analyse one's mind and determine varying aspects of it, using different scales and indicators proposed by psychologists from Jung to Piaget.

Eye-of-the-Tigering

Eye-of-the-Tigering: verb. Striding absent-minded through a street with a purpose while being joined by seemingly random people walking very similarly and wearing similar things. The distinguishing characteristic of eye-of-the-tigering is being joined at some point by someone who is walking similarly, but wearing clothes which are completely unrelated and make no sense in terms of everyone else striding.

Hopefulessness

Hopefulessness: noun. The amount of the lack of hope. In other words you determine how much you lack hope by determining how much hopefulessness you have. The unit for this scale is known as the "unhappy face" and is showed as follows: " :( ". This has been implemented since the 1920's during the Great Depression. The world level of hopefulessness has fluctuated since the 1920's, but peaked in the 1940's. Why this is, no one has been able to figure out.

Miniumbra

Miniumbra: noun. The shadow of an extremely small object. Generally miniumbras can only be seen under microscopes and even then, they are often confused with specks on the lens of the microscope, which they most definitely aren't. The first miniumbras were observed by Galileo Galilei through his telescope, when he was observing a nearby asteroid. This was before the definition of a miniumbra was specified, to only include things observed through microscopes. If a curious reader would like to see a miniumbra for himself, they are easily accessible through high-powered microscopes in well-protected government laboratories.

Moath

Moath: noun. This word has several possible meanings, the most used are the following:
1. The oath a moth takes before being allowed to do moth duty - biting through clothes.
2. A moat that has been rendered absolutely useless because it is crossed by too many paths.
3. An inconstant number of oats increasing through very strange mathematical patterns.
4. A mouth that does not open properly and does not allow its user to pronounce anything but "os" and "as."

Rapsody

Rapsody: noun. A rhapsody is an etude in the style of rap, yet maintaining a classical manner and structure typical of music from the romantic era. The first recorded instance of a rapsody was at the start of the twentieth century, when entrepreneurs of this field of music attempted to develop an alternative style of classical music. Sadly for just about everyone, all attempts ended as great fiascos, especially after one production of a rapping Madame Butterfly where the protagonist was so carried away with rapping, that she forgot to kill herself and the audience left quite confused. 

Spare

Spare: verb. To succeed, but only partially. In other words, to succeed at some goal, but not completely, rather only achieving a certain part of the goal. This word comes from bowling terminology, where a spare is known as the knocking down of all ten pins in the second shot of a frame. The word has taken on this meaning in the earlier part of the 22nd century, where it became commonly used in the canteens of the Moldovian Empire.

Waltzerdation

Waltzerdation: noun. A phenomenon discovered in the late eighteenth century by the pesky and all-knowing Herr Wolf of Vienna, called Wolfie by his friends, causing eventual mental and physical debilitation in people who like to waltz. In a very informative pamphlet titled "Proof that Waltzing is the Main Source of Weakness of the Body and Mind of our Generation," Wolfie quite accurately labelled and described the most harmful negative consequences of waltzing, namely the following: "Leg pain, foot pain, head pain, brain pain, cramps, involuntary strengthening of the abdominal muscles, falling, tripping, slipping, skipping and flipping." In the final page of the pamphlet, he also made the quite ingenious link between the increasing popularity of waltz in Vienna and unwanted pregnancies as well as psychosis  and sloppy murders on the streets of Austria.        

Cotangent

Cotangent: noun. A trail of thought, which is shared by two or more people and isn't pertinent to the conversation which was held previously, or has side-tracked by continuing the conversation for too long. Cotagenting developed from prolonged exposure to other people during the age of letters. The people of Britain and France in the 18th century were uncertain how to speak since they were used to conversing through letters. In letters they had time to think through what they wanted to say, but when they were placed in the spotlight face to face, they had no time to think through everything carefully and would often go together on cotangents. 

Meganarchy

Meganarchy: noun. A very deviated form of anarchy. In popular Aristotelian politics, there are three types of governments, each of which can deviate to a far worse form. Deviated royalty is tyranny, deviated aristocracy is oligarchy and constitutional governments that deviate become democracies. However, not much is known about Aristotle´s fourth deviated concept called meganarchy. Contained in his twice lost and once found book IX of Politics (which is currently still in one of the lost phases of its existence), is Aristotle´s explanation of how the already devious concept of anarchy devolves into meganarchy and then leads to the utter destruction of the "polis." According to Aristotle, however, meganarchy is only a transitional state and it can either lead to the utter destruction of social values in the whole world or to the destruction of the maganarchical society itself. At the end of the book, the author (allegedly) concludes that rather than living to see meganarchy, he would be willing to spend his whole life in a democratic society.    

Paradisical

Paradisical: adjective. This word is known for having two very separate meanings. One is describing something, which is heavenly and magical, like a paradise. The other meaning is the dissing of parasols and parrots. It has been often stated that "one does not simply dis the parasolic parrot" as well as "one is not simply paradisical", which, as the clever observer will notice, are completely identical. There are few places in the world, which have been described as paradisical. A few examples are of places which have been described as paradisical are Liverpool, Kabul and Grozny.

Babbylonian

Babbylonian: adjective. The properest way to write what is commonly spelled as "Babylonian." Babbylonian is, contrary to what one might have expected, not read the same way as "Babylonian," because the latter of the two should, in fact, be read as "Bay-bee-low-knee-an" rather than "Bah-bi-low-knee-an" and it is a wonder people understand the horrendous spelling of the word at all. In conclusion, as Lewis the rolling car would have told you, never spell Babbylonian incorrectly and never try to dangle a pokemon from a keychain.   

Sysiphusimism

Sysiphusimism: noun. Similar to pessimism, sysiphusimism is the act of having no hope for onself or the world, because all previous attempts at doing something have failed. Interestingly, people suffering from sysiphusimism are not called sysiphusimists but sissies, the term not being viewed as derogatory. In the light of these facts, several psychologists in Botswana did research on icons of the American culture and found out that the lion in the Wizard of Oz was originally not a scaredy-cat, but a feline suffering from chronic depressions and that his voyage to Oz was really an ordinary trip to obtain his yearly medications.   

Weepangelise

Weepangelise: verb. To move around extremely quickly, only when not being observed by anyone. This is extremely difficult as anyone attempting to weepanglise must observe every detail of his surroundings to ensure that he is not being observed, as that would prevent him from moving. Those who are very skilled in weepangelising are capable of moving, simply during the blink of an observer. Therefore a skilled weepangeliser can be extremely difficult if his intentions aren't pure or good. The authors of this blog ask the general public to be extremely weary of people weepangelising, although they realised that weepangelisers are quite difficult to recognise.

Skidaddle

Skidaddle: verb. To skedaddle on skis. While skedaddling usually involves panicky and unorganised fleeing, skidaddling is always tactical and planned out beforehand, which is not illogical when taking into account the fact that skedaddling on skis requires a very large area for manoeuvring. From a scientific perspective, skidaddling is by far the most logical method of organised and unorganised retreat alike, as the skis are an essencial component of gaining speed for the afore mentioned fleeing. 

Fumic

Fumic: adjective. Made up or containing a large amount of fumes. It is common knowledge that any larger industrialised metropolis is known to be extremely fumic, but most people are unaware of the fact that people can be described as fumic. For years the word had only been associated with objects, even though it was originally meant to describe people. When tobacco became readily available throughout Europe, many people of the oposition of this new trend, described smokers as fumic, hoping it would discourage other people from taking up smoking as well.

Smothersome

Smothersome: adjective. A person, object, animal or abstract term that is easily smothered. While smothering most animals and humans may be deemed easy by professional murderers, smothering an object or an abstract term requires a high amount of skill. Though a fire can be smothered with sand, foam or any other materials that may fill a fire extinguisher (rats, mice and hamsters included), a rock or the Eiffel Tower would be far more resistant and would probably have to be melted before being smothered with a wet towel. Abstract terms are even harder to smother, as they would seep right through the wet towel and so they have to be smothered with a slab of wet iron. To help people understand the different degrees of how smothersome a thing can get, the Movement for the Rationalisation of the English Language has made the following guide (note that this movement has its own particular form of English which may be confusing to one who has never been in contact with it):

1. Do thing have respiratory system? (add 3 points if yes, 1 point if no, 2 points if not sure)
2. Be thing tangible? (add 3 points if yes, 1 point if no, 2 points if markhor) 
3. Be thing animal/human or thing/abstract term? (add 3 points if animal/human, 1 point if thing/abstract term, 2 points if George Bush)

Results: If score add up to 8 or 9, thing be completely smothersome. If score add up to 3 or 4, thing be almost unsmothersome. If score add up to 5,6 or 7 thing be most probably markhor in White House or George Bush skipping on mountain in Kashmir. 

Communikate

Communikate: verb. The act of communicating with Kate. One might think that this can apply to any Kate, anywhere in the world, for example Kate, the duchess of Cambridge, but one would be wrong in thinking that. In fact one can only communikate with the Kate, from the brilliant play by Arthur Miller "All My Sons". Kate Keller plays a significant role in the plot of the play and whenever a different character has a dialogue with Kate, this can be referred to as communikating. Arthur Miller himself was quite fond of the word and used it regularly, while writing the play. However since the pronunciation of the word is indistinguishable from the pronunciation of communicate very few people were aware of Miller's usage of the word.

Cassoweary

Cassoweary: adjective. When one is overtly tired of cassowaries to the point of sleepiness and subsequent collapse into hibernation at an encounter with one. The Bureau for the Conservation of Cassowaries in Australia states that about one tenth of all rangers working for the organisation suffers from cassoweariness seasonally and over one half of all people who have quit the job have had reprecussions leading to permanent cassoweariness. This condition is incurable and its causes are unknown. Famous celebrities who suffer from being cassoweary include Skippy the Bush Kangaroo (who never starred alongside cassowaries because of his anxiety) and Mickey Mouse, who contracted cassoweariness from Pluto.

Slurprise

Slurprise: noun. The thing that happens when one slurps down a drink, but despite all efforts, the water level rises instead of decreasing. This word could likewise describe the surprise this casues. The word slurprise itself was first used in a quite different context and with a quite different meaning by the infamous composer Gustav Mahler, who claimed that prising a slur out of his orchestra, which he incorrectly jumbled up into slurprising, is harder than stoning a heretic with bananas, both of which he had previously attempted.  

Upgramme

Upgramme: noun. This word has two very distinct meanings, which are used frequently in technology industries and the world of physics.
1. A programme of upgrading. These are very common, and have become more and more common in recent years, as technologies are developed faster and faster. In fact some scientists have begun to claim that we live in a world of a perpetual upgramme. 
2. A gramme or gram, which is added on and increases the overall weight. The word has been recently used in Physics textbooks, because it saves time and space. Generally it has been the recent increase in the price of putting words on paper, that has caused the increase of the usage of this word.

Dogholicism

Dogholicism: noun. A not too famous denomination of Christianity that differs from Catholicism in several key areas. One of these areas is original sin, which Dogholics refer to as "original woof" and the role of the Pope, whom Dogholics choose to follow only if he offers a good amount of dog biscuits. As well as this, marital fidelity, so highly regarded within the Catholic Church, is absolutely beyond the understanding of Dogholics, who will probably jump on whatever has legs and a pulse (or perhaps not even that) with the intention of procreating. However, both of the denominations have a common stance on birth control, as Dogholics don´t have to care for their own offspring for too long anyway.

Porcanket

Porcanket: noun. A blanket made from the skin or skins of porcupines. This famous accessory not only provides immense comfort, but also excellent protection. Possibly the most famous porcanket belonged to the famous Hannibal, who took it everywhere with him as protection against potential nighttime assassins. The authors of this blog would also here recognise the brilliant, but also often overlooked Scipio Africanus, who in the end defeated Hannibal and thereby also took his porcanket, which has since then been in his family for centuries. It is also rumoured that both Queen Victoria and Fidel Castro have owned a porcanket, which has allowed them to escape many assassination attempts.

Sockerel

Sockerel: noun. A vulgar poem mentioning a sock or association football. Derived from the words sock and doggerel, sockerel made its first appearance in a parody of Shakespeare´s play Othello, where instead of finding a handkerchief, Othello stumbles upon Desdemona´s sock and proceeds to hang himself from it, much to Iago´s amusement (in this parody, however, Iago is a parrot, as the play had been inspired by the popular Disney film Aladdin, which had, in turn, also been parodied by the same theatre company, calling it "A laddie" and moving the setting to a rural scottish village, where Jafar and the Sultan bet on a Celtic-Rangers game and use the powers of the Loch Ness monster to alter the score leading to catastrophic consequences. Luckily, the football players eventually run out of energy after a series of several thousand matched penalties - obviously due to rigging - and the Sultan along with Jafar decide to go to a pub and blame Margaret Thatcher). 

Gymbership

Gymbership: noun. A membership to a gym, or a ship made up of large pieces of timber/lumber. Interestingly, the original meaning of the word is the one associated with a gymnasium. In Ancient greece, the word was used to describe being a member of an institution not only for physical, but also intellectual exercise. It was only in the 17th century that sailors and carpenters began to use the word to refer to galleons, frigates, fluyts and barques. The famous critic of everything, Christopher Marlowe wrote an entire book discussing the matter of the word, aptly titled "The Massacre at Paris". The authors of this blog highly recommend the book as delightful reading.

Stumblebee

Stumblebee: noun. A bumblebee that stumbles while walking, possibly because of excessive nectar consumption. A stumblebee is not to be confused with a jumblebee (a bumblebee that jumbles things), a tumblebee (a bumblebee that tumbles), a fumblebee (a bumblebee that fumbles), a grumblebee (a bumblebee that grumbles), a mumblebee (a bumblebee that mumbles), a rumblebee (a bumblebee that rumbles or has consumed far too much liquor), a humblebee (a bumblebee that grovels and is an ideal candidate for priesthood) and definitely not with a bumblebeer (a distilled liquor from bumblebees). Ideally, one should also not confuse stumblebees with slumberbees (bumblebees that take often naps) and stubblebees (bumblebees that have an excess of facial hair).

Pigmalion

Pigmalion: noun. Unlike Pygmalion, pigmalion is what happens when too many ions are present within a pig,  often leading to catastrophic results. The dangerousness of such pig usually depends on how many ions are present inside it and what element they come from. For example, a pig with ten grammes of hydrogen ions is less dangerous than a pig with twenty grammes of hydrogen ions and far less dangerous than a pig containing 30 grammes of plutonium ions. The word itself had been derived from the roots "pig," "mal" and "ion," the "mal" part pertaining to the results of letting such pig into the civilised world.  

Conquerative

Conquerative: adjective. Describing something or someone that enjoys to conquer or often does so. This word has been used by famous historians, such as Edward Gibbon, to describe kingdoms or empires and people throughout history. Very often this word has been associated with the Roman empire, the Mongols and Napoleon Bonaparte. In recent years it has been used with people such as Dan Quayle and Greece.

Maulhault

Maulhault: noun. This word has several commonly acknowledged definitions and bitter disputes exist between the supporters of each. Because of their particular viciousness and unscrupulous threats, the creators of this blog have decided not to put them down at all and make up their own definitions (as they, however, do very rarely - in fact, this is the first time for... a very long time).
1. A jump performed by the Sith Darth Maul that entered universal history after the airing of Star Wars Episode 1. Contests around the galaxy have been held ever since his death to see who the best maulhaulter is, but, as with Luciano Pavarotti, there is only one Darth Maul... at least there was.
2. An amalgamation of the German words "Maul" and "halten," meaning "mouth" and "to hold." This word has reportedly been used as a common threat by German teachers who fled to South America after the Second World War.        

Hleggeflemisch

Hleggeflemisch: verb. The action of quoting or making up a study that had never been carried out for the selfish purposes of whoever the perpetrator is. Before any further progress is made into discovering the origins of the word, the writers of this blog would like to make it known that they deeply deplore hleggeflemisching, especially after the study conducted by the esteemed professor Xióngmāo Fènbiàn (熊貓糞便) of Hǔ cèsuǒ (虎廁所) University in Datong proved a direct correlation between hleggeflemisching and hair loss in adult male impalas. With that being said, it is also necessary to admit that the etymological background of hleggeflemisching is absolutely unknown and will probably stay concealed forever with the rest of the world´s mysteries.

Matealot

Matealot: noun. Although this may sound like a very unusual word, which would have a rather exotic meaning, it in fact has multiple meanings, which have been used quite frequently in the past.
1. The mate of a matelot. For those who don't know, a matelot is a sailor or seaman, look it up! The partnet of this sailor or seaman was commonly referred to as a matealot. 
2. Someone or something, which mates frequently. This is more commonly associated with animals, but has been used previously in conjunction with people, namely William Topaz McGonagall and Judas.
3. Someone, who when playing chess, often and incorrectly declares a "mate", when in fact the game is far from over and they are probably losing.
4. The inhabitant of a small settlement in Trinidad and Tobago.

Consequence

Consequence: noun. Something which is directly or indirectly related to a sequence. This term is only used in certain branches of mathematics, specifically in Number Theory and Combinatorics. The term was coined by famous mathematician Pierre de Fermat, who is famous for his famous Last Theorem. The word is however much more commonly used in its meaning of a direct implication. This means that when asked, only 0.0134% of people will give the mathematical definition of the word, as their answer to what the definition of consequence is.

Ultrantiracism

Ultrantiracism: noun. The social phenomenon that results from overt caution not to offend people of different races. Ultrantiracism portrays itself in many different forms, as shown in the survey made in California a few months ago. The survey, conducted by Enguma Nguruwe, showed that when the regular American was asked to describe a picture of a person with black skin colour, that aspect of their visage was completely left out. Furthermore, over eighty per cent of the test subjects were of the opinion that in supermarkets, an equal amount of black, white and yellow refrigerators should be sold; regardless of the price and profit made by the shopkeepers.

Antishouldism

Antishouldism: noun. A school of thought that refuses the use of the word "should" as part of both formal and informal language.  Antishouldists, as part of their doctrine, do not call themselves antishouldists, but prefer to go by the title doordonotdoists, which is contemptuously pronounced as "Door doughnut do-ists" rather than "Do or do not doists" by the rival group set up to to antishouldists, simply known as shouldists. Quite hypocritically, the very first sentence in the holy scripture of this organisation, written by an unknown monk in the 14th centruy and completely rewritten in the 1970s, states the following: "We jointly advocate that the word 'should' should be crossed out of the dictionary and should nevermore be mentioned." 

Extraterraneous

Extraterraneous: adjective. Describing something, which is a) from a different planet than Earth and b) quite difficult and tiring. Most common example of extraterraneous activities include Vogon poetry and a conversation with a Wookiee or Gungan. Interestingly the word has existed since the time of King Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks of Poland. It originated in the home of a lazy Norwegian fisherman and according to lore, the tale, too long to describe here, involved a herring, too much tea and a very pretty sea urchin.  

Gumgan

Gumgan: noun. A popular sweet widely consumed on the planet of Naboo. Not to be confused with gungan, the indigenous race on the planet and gumgun, a weapon used by them to make their enemies wet and sticky. Gumgan is manufactured in the warm and damp conditions of the marshes on Naboo, giving them an unforgettable taste irresistible for aficionados in this field of sweet making.   

Oun

Oun: preposition. Used to indicate inclusion and exclusion within space, a place or limits. In other words the word is used when something is both "in" and "out" of something. For example: "Air is oun the house." The word was created by Galen of Pergamon, who used it to describe the state of blood after an incision or a cut/bruise. Since then the word has been scarcely used in the medical profession and even less so in others. However the sentence created by famed humorist Lenny Bruce has reignited the favorable flame of this word. The sentence is as follows: "The preposition is oun the noun."

Calvisignation

Calvisignation: noun. The resignation upon doing well in any aspect of one´s life on the basis of the Calvinist belief that all has been set out already. This sociological phenomenon, though common among the afore mentioned religious group, was also quite frequent among ancient Greeks who, upon finding out something terrible at the local oracle hotline, committed mass suicide in order to prevent unpleasant surprises. The irony in that was, of course, that by killing themselves they had actually fulfilled the oracles´ rather vague prophecies consisting of wails and howls and resulting in the conclusion that time would be better spent in the local tavern.

Thermotea

Thermotea: noun. Tea which keeps the temperature it was made at for about 26 hours. This is the brilliant invention of Thomas Lipton, who created thermotea after years of experimentation. However he was extremely paranoid of a rival company stealing his idea and so never revealed the recipe or formula for making it to anyone. Therefore when he died, the process of creating thermotea was lost and people had the opportunity to enjoy the brilliant drink only for about 5 years. Some people believe that when Lipton bequeathed the majority of his possessions to the city of Glasgow, he included the formula for the creation of thermotea with them, and now the mayor of Glasgow is the only one, who can enjoy the drink. However this theory has been declared preposterous by men with lab coats.

Ramboo

Ramboo: noun. The word ramboo has several possible meanings; the most used ones are listed below:
1. A species of red plant growing in the harsh climate of Nepal, China and India, which had been widely replaced by bamboo and now only survives in a few pocketses of vegetation in Sichuan.
2. A word for the misappreciation of a certain ram´s performance in the annual Ramolympic games, an institution set up as a rival to the more famous and popular Goatolympic games.
3. A spooky ghost of a ram that haunts the castle of Anthrax and makes strange faces at the nuns living there. In this particular case, ramboo, can be spelled with a capital letter, but experts in this field of knowledge advocate the opinion that there are more than one ramboos running around the castle and so it would be more politically correct if this spooky ghost of a ram only had a lowercase letter.    

Batctus

Batctus: noun. A word describing a grilled bat stuck on a cactus, a not too popular meal in Mexico. While the cactus itself is not eaten, its prickly exterior allows several bats to be put on it before being spun around above an open fire, much like a gyros. According to natives, a batctus is the most disgusting dish imaginable and its consumption is purely a matter of tradition, the maintenance of which is governed and funded by the UNESCO. Professional batctus eaters are also payed by the organisation to perform the ritual of cooking, consuming and then vomiting in front of tourists and UNESCO even contributed to building signs along major Mexican highways explaining the importance of batcti to natives and foreigners alike. The pronunciation of the word itself is rather complicated for English speakers, nevertheless, many poets have come to appreciate its rhythmic ring. For example the poet William McGonagall wrote the following short poem about the ritual of preparing a batctus:

One morning when sitting on a cactus,

A man - I am sorry to say,

Decided to prepare a batctus,

To brighten his terrible day.

His hand grabbed a bat wing which maybe,

Was harvested in Dundee bay,

He stuck it gently as a baby,

On the spikes of the cactus to stay.

A strong sound from the distance drew near him,

Something that was coming his way,

And the man said to himself looking quite dim:

It was stupid of me, yes a man from Dundee, to prepare a batctus on a railway.

Nocious

Nocious: adjective. Harmful, poisonous and very very dark, with occasional shimmers of things resembling stars. The word is most commonly associated with the dizziness felt and seen after having inhaled Hydrogen Selenide, however it can be and is associated with a wide variety of other things. The term was coined by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius who was a passionate amateur astronomer, but also a proper chemist.

Ponticy

Ponticy: noun. A policy regarding bridges. One may think that there aren't many ponticies, however that is incorrect as there are over 200 of them. For example Ponticy #166 is: "Thou shalt not disturb the troll under the bridge." The history of ponticies dates back to Ancient times, when they were known as aqueducticies and related to aqueducts. However the Romans had no regard for these policies and so they became largely unknown until their revival asponticies in the late 14th century. 

Plumbet

Plumbet: verb. When a plumber plummets from a very high point or into a very low point or a combination of both. Plumbetting is a very common word, since in some countries, the plumbing on high-rise buildings is accessible only from the outside and so a plumber has to clamber his way up before he actually starts to plumb, both of which is equally dangerous when done on a high-rise building. The first recorded case of a plumbet, however, did not come from a tall building, but from space. In fact, the first plumbet started on June the sixth, 2006 from the International Space Station itself and took several days, during which the plumber involved was able to give his exact coordinates and was caught exactly seventy two hours later in a giant pool of bubble-wrap prepared by the national fire brigade of Uzbekistan, which the ISS happened to be flying over at the beginning of the plumbet.

Sheepwrecking

Sheepwrecking: noun. Contrary to popular belief in New Zealand, sheepwrecking is not the act of wrecking while driving a sheep or multiple sheep at once, nor does it describe the situation when one drives their car, boat or plane into one. Sheepwrecking is, in fact, the act of discriminating against a certain group of animals and thereby wrecking their self-confidence by not allowing them to have a distinct plural form. This applies to animals such as sheep, fish, jellyfish, flying fish, swordfish, angelfish, stonefish, pufferfish, scorpionfish, lionfish, longfish, shortfish, fatfish, slimfish, goodfish, badfish, smellyfish, stinkyfish, platyfish and chicken. This discriminatory phenomenon also occurs in different languages besides English, for example in Swahili most animals, bananas, tomatoes and grandmothers have an identical singular and plural form, but out of the afore mentioned, only the animals can officially file a sheepwrecking complaint (unlike the bananas, tomatoes and grandmothers who can´t file one at all due to reduced mobility).

Schappiness

Schappiness: noun. A word describing the joyous feeling felt by a very small percentage of schoolchildren at coming back to school after the Summer holidays. In fact, the number of schoolchildren that suffered from schappiness was always so small, that until 2001, the World Association for Kidz´ Mental Health based in Brooklyn did not classify it as a condition at all. According to the main medical department of the above mentioned organisation, it is not known whether this condition is hereditary or adopted, however all experts studying it find it puzzling, out of the norm and as one of the researchers working there quite poignantly said: "Well I don´t know too much about this, but after lots´a hard research, I came to the conclusion that it´s totally weird." 

Ramgle

Ramgle: verb. To seemingly speak of nothing, but at the same time viciously arguing a point. In essence the word is a combination of wrangling and rambling, however is evidently very different. One might think that wrangling and rambling are opposites, which would suggest that ramgling is an oxymoron, however that is not the case. We assure you that ramgling is possible and you find people, who very often ramgle. The origin of the word is uncertain, however it is suggested that it was Bertrand Russell, who introduced the word back into common speech.

Runon

Runon: noun. There are several meanings, which are known to belong to this word and have originated in different sections of the plethora of humanness.
1. Something which is not necessarily covered in runes, but does in someway contain runes of some sort. Although one may think that runon actually refers to something, which is on runes, but that would be incorrect.
2. Someone who is currently extremely drunk on rum. The most attentive of observers will notice the lack of correlation is spelling, but this can be easily explained. The word was coined by runon himself, and one who has been extremely drunk on rum, shall understand why the author payed little attention to spelling.

Runon

Runon: verb. This word has two meanings, which are used in very specific contexts:

1. When running a marathon, to continue running even after having finished the marathon. There are very few instances of this ever happening, although it has several times resulted in the lapping of several of the slower runners. The word was developed in this field by commentators of marathons, while they were having their lunch break.
2. To, while writing a text, intentionally leave out punctuation, such as commas, full stops, dashes and colons, and combine sentences to create, what is known as a run-on sentence, and as an observant reader may have noticed, this sentence itself is an excellent example of the aforementioned runoning. 

Melony

Melony: adjective. In order to at least partially explain the ambiguity regarding marshmelons, it is necessary to explain their meloniness. Being melony (which, by the way, can be pronounced the way it is spelt or even the way it is not spelt) shows itself in a few different forms. Someone who is melony usually has more bodymass, a round belly and possibly a green tint with stripes on their skin. A melony object often tastes like a melon (unlike melony people who taste like chicken), it may or may not be green and it always rolls down a hill like a melon when you push it (regarding that fact, it is rather similar to melony people).

Note to readers: none of the facts above were obtained experimentally but retrieved from people who have notable experience in this field. We would, therefore, like to thank the kind community in Papua New Guinea that helped us with this article, especially regarding the taste and downhill mobility of melony people.   

Marshmelon

Marshmelon: noun. There are two commonly used definitions of this word and it is often very hard to distinguish which one of them is being used in a particular sentence, even with plenty of context.
1. A sweet that is mushy, but also a little melony.
2. A melon that grows in a marsh.
As you can see, the above definitions are truly ambiguous and interchangeable, which is one of the reasons why this word is no longer used in formal and informal contexts alike.
