Some words are just fun to say.
Like “embiggen.”
True, it’s not technically a word, but I came across it in a blog post by author Phil Simon.
He’d written the following below an image in the post: “Click to embiggen.”
Confession: Reading it made me giggle.
Serious adults aren’t supposed to giggle, I know. But this got me thinking…perhaps we should.
It is impossible to feel grumpy and giggle at the same time.
I still chuckle when I think of two I made up as part of this WNW series – “kidsplain” and “slideument.”
They’re not just fun to day, they describe concepts that didn’t have names of their own at the time.
Maybe they’ll catch on and end up in Merriam-Webster someday!
What words that make you giggle – or at least smile – when you see?
Are there words you just find fun to say?
Please share!
