Who comes up with this stuff...


Have you ever noticed that when you post a comment on someone's blog that you have to enter some crazy word? I guess it's not really a word; just a random combination of letters but they could be words. For instance, today I had to enter the letters "Ulfra". Just to make sure Ulfra wasn't some obscure word that I had never heard of, I went to Websters online and checked it out and in case you were wondering...it's not a word. Then there was "Cavolva" another security word. Yep, you guessed it...Cavolva isn't a word either, but what if they were words?
Rich Hall used to come up with odd words he called sniglets. In case you don't remember, I'll give you a few to mull over.
Kwanhanamas—Kwanza + Hanukkah + Christmas.
Kidnapkinage—The act of purposefully taking more napkins than necessary at a fast-food restaurant.
Pickparker (pik-park-er) n. Someone who steals a parking place you are about to pull into.
Pupkus (pup' kus) - n. The moist residue left on a window after a dog presses its nose to it.
Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at 3 in the morning and cannot be cast out.
Deodorend - n. The last 1/2 inch of stick deodorant that won't turn up out of the tube, and thus cannot be used without inducing lacerations.
Anyway, you get the idea! Now maybe when you are leaving a comment you will think about the security word to see if it could be a word...who knows?
By the way, it is Christmas eve, Santa is already out delivering toys on the other side of the world so I hope everyone is being good...Happy Kwanhanamas! Just kidding...Merry CHRISTMAS!

If those are not real words, I better change my vocabulary, because I use them all the time. Merry Christmas.
