I’m going to conduct an experiment. I am going to make up a saying, or phrase and see if it makes its way into popular culture.
Have you ever wondered how newly entered phrases and sayings race their way around the globe? In this day and age, with the “inter-web”, it’s easy. But, a short couple of decades ago, it still happened. Albeit, with much less speed…or at least I’m guessing.
A phrase gets “invented” in small town Ontario. A resident of small town Ontario visits New York and uses the phrase, some New Yorker picks up on it. The New Yorker visits Australia and an Aussie picks up on it. All the sudden, the phrase has gone global.
But how fast does it happen? I guess it just depends on who uses the phrase. It’s almost like the wave in a sports stadium. Sometimes, it goes around…..other times it fizzles.
So, here goes my invented phrase, or word.
“scrodgee”
Pronounced-SKROD-GEE
Defined as: gross, messy or dirty
For example:
“did you see that roadkill? Man, that is scrodgee.”
“ I gotta wash up, i’m feeling pretty scrodgee”
Now go forward and use “scrodgee”. Let’s see if it makes it around.
