OK folks, several new words have been bandied about on the forum. I'm a great enthusiast about the idea of living language, so if you've invented a new word, put it here:
CLEAKY is one that I've seen, but have no idea what it means. Would anyone care to add a definition?
I know DiscGolfer invented at least one new word, so he could put it here.
Here's my first word:
WONDERLANG = The language of Wonderland.

These were my three!
CLEAKY = Clever and Sneaky (referring to one of O/G's levels)
FUNNUTS = Funny and Nuts (refering to one of JG's levels )
SMILLOCKS = Small Hillocks (don't ask
)

Hi Liz!
Funstrating- A physical, and psychological, condition that frequently occurs during the creation of Wonderland levels, and often results in the act of pulling out one's own hair, and enjoying doing so.

I guess it's not exactly a Wonderland word, but I rather like the verb "to Google".
Something else I can add to my list of hobbies, Googling, along with "Wonderlanding".

Here's one of Roger's Wonderland words (hope you don't mind me putting this in the Dictionary, Roger):
Soko-banned = The tendency for some of us to find sokoban puzzles very frustrating, not even funstrating! Hence they are soko-banned.

I have used Fantabulous a few times.
Fabulous and fantastic in one word. (I think I heard it on a comedy special???)
Wonderific I like the sounds of this one also.

Yes Old Bear, that is a desperate case of Wonderlanditis. Luckily I've avoided this particular mutation of the virus as I always download all levels to their makers' folders.
I need a Wonderland injection every day - levels and forum - to keep my Wonderlanditis in check!

I have been stuck in Majic's pesky Batcave for the last hour or so - AND it is pretty damn spooky
Therefore at the moment I am
Batrified
Bat to the drawing board

Battyfilarious = M.A.D.s word inspired by Majic1's Batcave level. Gen asked:
"Does Battyfilarious mean wormy bat or batty worm?"
I think the creatures on the level were wormy bats, so what does that make the players?

Not really related to Wonderland but...
Ashcarationally
Inspired by arabic word "Ashkara" and means "seriously".
