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.
ZEITSCHEISS – This word is a special lingovated variation (a LINGOVARIATION*, which is, in itself a Lingovation, indeed) upon the adopted German term zeitgeist, which means “spirit of the times”. Zeitscheiss (also derived from the German), translates very roughly to “nonsense” or fads of the moment. For example, Lada Gaga is a wonderful example of popular culture’s zeitscheiss. If you have German relatives, do not use this term in their presence, especially at the dinner table.
p.s. If after reading the LINGOVATION above, you have some idea of your very own for a new LINGOVATION, simply press on the button which follows (it says "Submit My Original Lingovation") to submit your new word and its definition, and we will make you famous...well, perhaps just somewhat famous. We will get your Lingovation a very high ranking on all of the search engines -- that much is assured!
