I find naming characters and imagined entities always daunting. You remind us that it though it be challenging, it's also play, and that's the thing.

For decades now I've been trying to popularise "throth" (like "both", but for three things), but I still haven't heard anybody else use it. <br />Karen's own post from last week is about neologisms too, and deserves more support. (Not that I particularly want to win that brooch - I don't think it would suit me.)Bob Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03421070157549422261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-9197959385624244932017-09-17T08:02:14.588+01:002017-09-17T08:02:14.588+01:00This was so much fun and has me reaching for my pe...This was so much fun and has me reaching for my pen.

And such a clever poem - that must have been headbangingly hard to put together! <br />We used to have a pair of clients at the riding school who we referred to as the Snotgobbles, and my family loved the Aussie Stickybeak, but not responsible for any new ones ... a friend did come up with Thullawuds which we used a lot at school, and it has just been dusted off recently and brought shyly blinking back out into the light of day ... madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.com
