In life so often we come up with weird words and sayings, as I have mentioned before I often have impediment moments often resulting in myself and others using them (quite possibly to save me from embarrassment).
I have been told that often the words I use are not decipherable or easily understood either in their ambiguity or spelling so here I present you with the Audlish Dictionary, some words I accidentally invented, others are from the south African slang, some are my interpretations of words already in existence and some are heard from other peoples moments that I loved and adopted … hope it helps 🙂

This is a great dictionary; some of which are similar to how I use them also, and you already know what a fan I am of impeppermint.
I feel inspired to write about one of my phrases that I invented a few years ago……..

Blamestorming…. I wish that I did not grok that word. Unfortunately, I have been in too many meetings where that has been happening. I am pleased that I now have a word to describe it.

I’ve been in the same meetings as Brit. Lots of mosquitoes and stress monkeys and atnas. Lots of vista. Hoping for boomerang. Tired of cannibals. Too many committee members in organizations these days.
Of course, I wouldn’t wish to cast asparagus.

Brit – Welcome and glad you found the word you’ve been searching for lol aye blamestorming is populor (way too much for my liking… I tend to turn into a drooldle each time!)
Ilegirl – rofl excellent! By the sounds of things its you both are Yoda’s who need to shout out “Look there’s a fairy” in the next blamestorming just to see the stress monkey’s reaction (It’s actually quite entertaining… from experience their jaws just drop and they go… think we need to order some coffee) lol
Ouch you have me laughing BEFORE my morning coffee yet again!!!
