Hmmm. New words are added to the dictionary every year. You should tell them to add Shengis. I use that word to replace S**t. My friends back home use it now. It is fun.

Anyhow, got to go pick up my prescription. It reduces Psychosis. Ha Just kidding.

I think it's fun to create words--words like bandersnatch, beamish, frumious, galumphing, jubjub, mimsiest, outgrabe and uffish.

Those words are brilliant! (Really!)

Methinks you have a gift. You should write speeches for Bush.

(by the way, “beamish,” and “galumphing” are real words).
