Subject:Inventing words for fun and profit (#113029) From:Alexander Von_obert <avobert -at- TWH -dot- MSN -dot- SUB -dot- ORG> Date:Wed, 12 Jun 1996 17:29:02 +0100
Hello Bill,

Reif fuer's Wochenende!
"Ripe for the weekend" (with a real touch to tired and down)
BTW: If you wish to invent new words you should learn German. Then you can use
all of your vocabulary as building blocks. A quite famous example:
Donau (the river Danube)
Dampf (steam)
Schiff (boat)
Fahrt (drive)
Kapitaen (captain)
========================
Donaudampfschiffahrtskapitaen
(captain of a steam boat on the river Danube, preferably owned by the now
defunct Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft)
Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
