101.1 TTD 70 - Invent a Word That Makes it Into the Dictionary

The current project i'm working on, Project A, features a glossary at the back and half the fun of writing a book is making up new words. I very much doubt any of these words will get into the dictionary but in the context of the book they work perfectly well, see below. The definitions may give also give you an idea of what Project A is about ...

Doommongrals. dume·mun·ger·als – the hell hounds owned by a doommonger

Foke. foke – the original name for smog, derived from 'Fog' and 'smoke'.

Freediction. free·dick·shon – the process of altering a prediction to fit a situation. (See Nostrodamus)

Seacosystem. see·coe·sis·tem – an underwater ecosystem

Quing and Keen. kw·ing··and··keyne - asexual or hermaphroditic king and queen.

- - - - There are lots more definitions where these came from, some better but most are worse!
