Grownuptials

Grownup.
Nuptials.
Grownuptials.

Some cultures have people getting engaged when they're children.

What must it be like to picture a wedding so young?

Probably they imagine someone like He-Man officiating it.

e.g. "By the power (of Grayskull) invested in me, I now pronounce you man* and cooties-haver."

Marriages.
Gist.
Marriagist.


* Why pronounce the man "man"? Isn't that what he is already?
Is it He-Man's fault? Did he-he start it?
Did someone pronounce him "He" and "Man"?
No man is an island, sure, but a He-Man might be a happening peninsula.

Happening.
Peninsula.
Happeninsula.

Or perhaps the LADY doth protest too much.

Scramble the letters in He-Man and you get "Me? Nah."

Does this mean anything? Probably not. But what DOES mean anything?

Orthography.
Feelings.
Orthographeelings.

  1. I would comment here more but I don't speak whatever language this site is in. Is there a Babelfish translator for Kaplan to English. That's right, I referenced Babelfish. Do you have more sites Myq? This is fun.

  4. Look at that!

    Super supportive.

    Super.
    Supportive.
    Supertive.

    (Here's a secret though: I told Matt about THIS website after he had commented on my other one, which he did, I believe, as a result of a post I put on HIS: http://sandpapersuit.com, so check that out, too, anyone and everyone.)

  5. Sometimes the sum of the means is greater than the parts.

    In the case of 'Supertive' this is NOT the case. It sounds much less supportive than super supportive.

  6. You got me.

    "Supertive" is not an ideal combination of "super" and "supportive."

    Super-Duper.
    Supportive.
    Super-Dupportive.

    How's that?

  7. Sounds like someone that will be forced to leave the country extra specially quick. (In spite of the spelling.)

  8. Well, that IS how Superman came to Earth.

    His planet was exploding, so he was super-deported.
