This is just a fun challenge that was presented on Facebook by English/Danish comedian Sandi Toksvig, just yesterday.
I thought it a challenge worthy of Medium writers.
All you have to do, is use these seven words, (that you didn’t know you’d ever need, up until now), in one sentence.
The list is:
- natiform…meaning in the shape of buttocks
- vagitis…the cry of a newborn
- collywobbles…stomach pain, or queasiness
- griffonage…careless handwriting
- tittle…the dot above an ‘i’
- crapulence…sickness caused by drinking
- scurryfunge…rush around cleaning when someone is coming
For what it’s worth, I offer mine. I can assure you this took longer than I would have imagined, such that my once- ice-breaking natiform bin is now filled with scrunched, discarded efforts.
