Inventing words – because the ones we have aren’t enough.

Beyond the joy of visually communicating, we do enjoy the art of adding new words to the world. Below are a few of these wordyariates (oh, add another one!).

RelevantKool

Rel•e•vant•kool : noun : Often times, that which is irrelevant is mistakenly labeled “cool.” Finding something that is cool and relevant to the situation or surroundings is a hunt worth hunting.

Gradiate

Gra•di•ate : verb : The act or performance of creating a gradation effect in a design. Example: “Okay Graham, now gradiate the red into the bottom of the page.”

Yefee

ye•fee : noun : ink written on hand with pen (word submitted by Carlee Schafer at age 3)

semi-laborlessly

Not quite doing nothing but maybe doing a little

Antfarmer

Ant•far•mer : noun : One who drops crumbs while eating at his office desk for his cattle of ants. The crumbs in turn, feed an ant colony of millions. The harvest yields little financial rewards but the ability to create life is beyond any dollar.

ceagle

kee•gil : The yankee dandy patriotization of beef eaten on July Fourth (cow+eagle). Oddly enough submitted by a vegetarian and southerner.
