Hieronder nuwe Engelse woorde vir die taalkundiges hier - as ek kon, dan sou
ek dit direk gestuur het.
Verder onder wat Gloudina gereeld vir my sê - get a life.
En ek moet erken daar is ten minste 2 waaraan ek skuldig is:
Die hare een en die Playboy artikels een:))))))
Ten Words That Don't Exist, but Should
AQUADEXTROUS (ak wa deks' trus) adj. Possessing the ability to turn the
bathroom faucet on and off with your toes.
CARPERPETUATION (kar' pur pet u a shun) n. The act, when vacuuming, of
running over a string or a piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching

armrest in a movie theater or on an airplane.
FRUST (frust) n. The small line of debris that refuses to be swept onto the

WARNING SIGNS THAT YOU NEED A NEW LIFE
Your job requires you to wear a paper hat.
You consider professional wrestling a sport.
You know all the words to the Brady Bunch theme.
You don't buy National Enquirer at the checkout.... you subscribe.
You get unnecessary haircuts, just to have someone run their fingers through
your hair.
You believe Oswald acted alone, except for the aliens behind the grassy
knoll.
The first four digits of your girl/boyfriend's phone number are 1-900.
You really DO read Playboy/Playgirl for the articles.
You play the accordion.

Dierbaarheid Annette, mense in SA is so snedig oor die Amerikaners
en die veramerikaansing van die kultuur, en dan kom jy hier aangedrawwe
met Brady Bunch en National Enquirer en Oswald. Heel duidelik 'n
possie wat in die VSA sy oorsprong het. Kan ons gespaar word van
hierdie soort van hersending van dinge wat in die VSA sy oorsprong
het en wat miskien bietjie relevansie vir mense daar het, maar die
deursnee Suid-Afrikaner seker heeltemal koud sal laat.

Sug!!! Nee - as jy sou verder lees sal jy sien hulle praat van die lees van
die artikels in Playboy.
Baie interessant:))))
Sal jy ooit in staat wees om nuwe woorde te skep?
