    I love funny and unusual words and it occurred to me that every word we use must have been invented by somebody. So I thought it would be fun to each make up a word and a possible meaning? Maybe later we could have a poetry competition using some of the words?

    I'll kick things off...

    Bugglefluck - A type of spotted fluckweed
