Everyone’s favorite lexicographer? Everyone’s?
I’m a Noah Webster man, myself. (God Bless America!)
As to your neologisms–I’m a fan. May I presume to add a few myself
Shandyrama (n.) (Shan-DEE-rama) –A party in which all party members read Tristram Shandy. Often a party of one. Often held in my apartment. I’m quite sleepy today as I had a rockin’ Shandyrama last night.
Shandoria (n.) (Shan-Door-EE-Ah) — A feeling of supreme happiness that comes with hours and hours or reading Tristram Shandy. I wave of Shandoria swept over Jon at the end of his Sandyrama.
I just finished reading the Caldecott Winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick and it was quite glorious. It made me realize what was missing from Shandy— pictures, lots and lots of pictures.
Well Twin I’m off…keep reading, keep dreaming, keep creating new words.
Jon
