The Friday Fling Expands Language in Ukiahs!
Friday Fling #209, for December 7th 2012
Writers are limited not only by time and space, relationships etc. but also by language. The words available to express oneself is limited, as witness even the largest dictionary, the contents of which is not infinite; it still has a beginning and an end.
So once in awhile, a creative writer may consider that a particular feeling or thought cannot be rendered clear enough using existing words. He or she can do the best with available words. Or…invent a new one!
Our challenge this week is to invent a word for something that you think is better than anything now available in the English language, and use it in a short poem. We also encourage your invented word and your poem to relate to winter or the holiday season.
In case you have trouble making up a good word, here are a few suggestions:
foygle
urplishness
kissletoe
wipple
glurg
presentologism
funkilicious
holiation
shakenguesser
toddyhogger
stockenstuffy
ingestitude
The recommended format for your write this week is the Ukiah. “Ukiah” (pronounced “Ookah”) is “Haiku” in reverse. It was the first new format developed on the CPC, back in 2007. Like the Haiku it is a three line poem, but the syllable count is the reverse of a Haiku, that is 7-5-7 syllables rather than Haiku’s 5-7-5.
This week the Friday Fling writes Ukiahs with an embedded invented word!
Be sure to read and comment inventively on your fellow Pals’ Ukiahlicious creations. Then go invent a wonderful weekend for yourself!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for November 30th
Congratulations Bettie!
OK, that last one was just for me Scotorum 🙄 
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s inventiveness in Ukiah challenge! Pull up a made-up word and stick it in an Ukiah! Oh and I should recommend that you DEFINE your made-up word just in case it is not obvious from the context of your short poem! You can come up with your own, or use one from the list in the intro! Good Creating!
Photobucket is not working at all tonight. When I can get it to cooperate I’l;l post a pic for this.
DEDUCTION
When I tickled my grandson,
he foygled loudly.
I thought he might have a cold.
foygle: when you laugh and sneeze at the same time, or when one is followed by the other.
MENTAL MIDGETRY
I forgot something important.
I hate it when I’m
embarrassed by urplishness.
urplish: A phenomenon especially prominent in old age. A mental burp, when your brain fails to function right in some basic way.
PRECISION
Sometimes I feel dyslexic
when I miss my love
underneath the kissletoe.
kissletoe: a more realistic name for mistletoe

NIPPLE WHIPLASH
The baby cried, her mom yelped
when the horse bolted.
A case of sleighride wipple.
wipple: when a mother is nursing a child in a vehicle when it suddenly starts moving quickly.
Under The Kissletoe
~~~
Right under the kissletoe
Felt sloppy and wet
Making me laugh till I peed!
~~~
(Kissletoe) the big toe that is very sensitive when being kissed….lol
I had to do a quickie before I take off for work! :entertained: 😯 😆
A Burning Love
I wrote this at “Burning Man”,
awakened from a drance.
I found myself covered with cactus spines,
wearing just silk underpants.

drance: Peyote-induced trance
Desert Awakening
A river cuts deep through the prairie.
Stunted late winter mesquite inhabit bluffs above.
Finally to an arid heart
came the warm flow of your love.
I have viewed these hobbled trees
a hundred times before.
A place to be alone and free,
I am alone no more.
Red bluffs dropping to the water,
I have stood upon the edge
and stared across the open waste surveying
windblown brush and backwater sedge.
The prairie is asleep no more.
The desert has been slakened.
Love made a nascent life feel sure.
This wasteland in flower has awakened.
Tony Hansen

slakened: a new variation of slake-quench, allay, satisfy
CHRISTMAS DINNER
Christmas dinner, delicious
My mouth foodgasmic
Especially after pie!
Foodgasms – taste orgasms from wonderful food!
NOT THIS TIME
The handlefromahensnest
Didn’t work this time
Maybe it has broken down!
Handlefromahensnest – is kind of like a watchamacallit. Something you can’t think the name of at the time. My dad always asked me, “Do you think it will work?”, and I’d ask, “What?”, he’d reply, “A handlefromahensnest!” (I was a VERY little girl at the time!) :love: RIP Daddy!
LAST NIGHT
Santa Claus came late last night
Stockingfluffers hung
The children woke with delight!
Stockingfluffers – stockings filled with “fluff” (stuff)
Winter Weather
A blizzard is happening
Holy kadoodles
What weather winter does bring.
~
Holy kadoodles: something like good gracious…lol
Thing-a-magig Magic
~~
Where is the thing-a-magig?

To make all the Christmas pies.
~~
(thing-a-magig) a type of pryer or crowbar device to open buckets filled with pie filling in bakeries.
