TotusTuusMaria Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I am the inventor of the word hassan, and so I get to say what it means. It is also a name, but it is also a new invented word by TotusTuusMaria. As the inventor, I say it means liar. Shush. I am not downing your words.

Noel's angel Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's the habit of estimating things as being of little or no value. I was reading the dictionary the other day (yes, mock me) and I came across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kafka Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Currently my favorite word is: [b]Haleskarth[/b]: It is the second word of the Mark Z. Danielewski novel "Only Revolutions." I'm not sure exactly what it means but I have a theory. The novel begins with the protagonist Sam on top of a mountain on the date November 22nd 1863 with his hands up in the air proclaiming: "Haloes! Haleskarth! Contraband! I can walk away from anything. Everyone loves the dream but I kill it" Later in the novel we learn Sam is a mythic figure, who is always sixteen and reincarnated into the world in revolutions of new one hundred year episodes. His tragic love is Hailey who is also always sixteen, and who share the same one hundred year revolutions. Yet in the beginning he has yet to meet Hailey so I think Haleskarth is some sort of sub-conscious affectionate name for Hailey who he loved in the previous one hundred revolution. Its like he is trying to express her in some way before having run into her in the present, as if having remembered a shadow of her from his past life.

Here is one taken from the first page of Joyce's Finnegans Wake: bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronnt onnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoo hoohoordenenthurnuk I'm not sure what it means, yet surely must be something profound, since that is the word he uses for Adam and Eve's fall from grace, and Finnegans fall to death. It should also be noted that Joyce was going blind while he wrote this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like "boojum" as in "a boojum snark", and "fruminous", refering to a "fruminous bandersnatch". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
