It all began one bright sunny summer day after the ordeal called 2nd PUC and CET...
Joblessness being a unique exprerience after a lot of (attempts at) studying, and recently inspired by Douglas Adams' hobby of inventing words for phrases and actions which dont have onw, we decided to too.
Sample this ( from The Deeper Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd)
Anderby Steeple (n.)
One who asks you a qucstion with the apparent motive of
wanting to haar your answer,but who cuts short your opcning sentence by leaning forward and stating ' I'll tell you why i ask' and then talking solidly for the next half hour.
Ampus (n.)
A lurid bruise you cant remember getting.
Beppu (n.)
The triumphant slamming shut of a book after reading the final page.
Enough to inspire us. We didnt read the rest of the book but started on our own...
(Alphabetical order was too much effort)

Quarliscent- Something painfully obvious.
Frizzlentia- Beyond bugging.
Carestraining- Conversation when both know that the other is joking but carry on the conversation with wild exaggerations,neither caring to be the forst one to start talking sense..The exact meaning will only be known on personal experience.

Paranymphoteration -The art of doing innovative things such as this but whoch people fail to appreciate and instead think we're developing insanity. Leads to extrabeheadification.
A masterly sentence by Ad- I CARE to deny Ar's statements for I think she has too much quaffrintia herself!! And I must say that I'm kaantentulated that she denies being involved in carestraining!! Now, is that quaffrintia or what!!! I'm too eniggerated!! Give me a moment before I start fuming....!
I appeal to the other makers to decipher these words,the meanings of which i have forgotten,
Pacadacadania
Eniggerated
and also to add on the unmentioned words in the comments section.
Cheers!
