So you know how Claire unknowingly comes up with cool words which combine two words of similar meaning? Let me show you this old post to get you up to date:
(from 25th July 2009)
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!
Today she added a new phrase to the list:
4. spolka-dot: (adjective) a combination of spotted and polka dot!
Eg: Mum, I've never seen a spolka-dot dog before!
