BLUE THING #10: LINGOVATION OF THE WEEK. JA!
Dear Friends:
As you may or may not know, a Lingovation is a newly-created, freshly-coined word, often comprised of a hybrid or contraction of several existing words, which comes into being when no other single existing word or word combination (and sometimes not even an entire paragraph!) can precisely express the thought. They are not nonsensical terms, and must indeed be taken very seriously.
NODSMANSHIP – a lingovated noun used to describe one’s ability to bob one’s head enthusiastically during a conversation, meeting or other interaction where the head-bobber is either 1) listening to something on an iPod or one of its technological offspring, 2) totally confused as to the nature of the conversation, but is desperately “sucking up” to other people whom he or she thinks might be important (i.e., able to fire him or her, or to promote him or her), or is 3) working hard to fight off sleep due to overindulging in any of the Seven Deadly Sins. For those conventionally employed in any of the few corporate middle-management positions remaining in the industrialized nations (at last count, there were about 700 middle-management persons who had not yet received their termination notices and golden parachutes (or platinum suppositories, depending), nodsmanship is a crucial survival skill.
