Verbotomy is a popular web game that invites players to create new words to fill what we linguistics majors call "lexical gaps" or to fashion what long-forgotten comedian Rich Hall called "sniglets."

 

Last week, Verbotomy challenged its word minters to coin a new word to embody each of Johnny Bunko's six lessons.

 

The players began with Lesson One ("There is no plan.")  And the top vote getter was:

 

Blooprint.  v. To stick to your plan even though you've realized it's dumb.  n. A stupid plan, especially if it's a career plan suggested by parents, teachers, or guidance counselors who want you to be something you're not.

 

 

I'll post more of these as the mood strikes and the audience demands.
