Claire has this knack for inventing new words by splicing and merging two words of similar meaning together:
1. plick: (verb) a combination of 'pluck' and 'pick'. Eg: Mum, can I plick this flower?
2. splace: (noun) a combination of 'place' and 'space'. Eg: Move over!! I have no splace to sit!!
This one took me a while to figure out:
3. backstan: (adverb) a combination of 'backwards' and 'gostan' (a Malaysian slang derived from the English phrase "go astern"). Eg: Look mum! I can walk backstan!
