Houstan, we need more neologists..

A neologist is someone who creates or coins new words. We certainly need more neologists in the world. In my not-so humble opinion, The Big Bang is simply too boring. We are talking about a cosmological model of the universe, and it's called The Big Bang? Heck, it sounds like a cowboy movie.

Thanks to Gooly, I have also come to realise that there are still un-named things here on earth. He wants to know what is the joint that connects the upper arm and lower arm called - you know, the line where the elbow bends and where you collect grime on a sweaty day.

I posted the question on Facebook and a few friends responded. One suggested 'fore armpit' while the other thought "arm cleavage" is more appropriate. You gotta love friends like this : )

As stated in previous post, Gooly has coined the word goolypop as substitution for belly button. At 18 months, he'd say sundeh when he had something to say. I am sure it meant something but most unfortunately he cannot remember now and couldn't explain then.

Yesterday he told me, "Come on. let's mingamoon." It means you have to run and get the ball. He should really consider being a professional neologist.
