    Made Up Words

    Discussion in 'Word Mechanics' started by JPClyde, Jun 25, 2017.

    I wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread. Less of a thread about advice and more like the words your characters or you yourself have made up in your stories to portray something that doesn't quite exist in this world.

    For example;

    Mornight - is the period of nighttime that a Night Owl is going to bed so its their night, but morning for everybody else. Morning and Night.

    Husfriend - The word to describe a man who is a woman's boyfriend, but have lived together for an extended amount of time together that they are practically married without the legality. So its the combined words of husband and friend.

    And one a character used was the word "Juicesaster" after he created a kitchen disaster after a juicing and smoothie making session didn't go quite exactly the way he wanted. It ended in a bit of a mess.
