So if you like creating confusing look alike words in EO, put them here and we can make a mini word list of nonsensical English neologisms!
Some "new" words to start off:
- Interestingo (noun) = lit. Female tea remainder socket. A device for sticking tea bags into after usage. (interesa)
- Komunikatio (noun) = lit. Communicated something. Something that is being communicated (Mi scias komunikatio sed mi ne volas diri vin). (komunik(ad)o)
- Lassero (noun) = lit. Release serum. (erm, laser)
- Diktonaro (noun) lit. Group of dictation fractions. A speech composed using bits and pieces of other speeches. (vortaro)
- Pinforesto (noun) An absence of pine trees. (Incorrect usage: Oux Maj! Rigardu tio cxi pinforesto, gxi estas tre belan!) (pinarbaro, pinaro?)
- Delikatesano (noun, Ido) A person who leads a delicate existance.
- Profano (noun) A profanity (propano, only for those who pronounce "propane" as "prophane", I think more due to accidentally thinking it's spelt "prophane" than due to sound changes).
- Pajlovstiko (noun) plant cutting propagation using straw-eggs. (stako de bastanoj).
- Oksogxeno (noun) An inconvenience brought about by oxen (oksigeno)
- Barbaranrajdo (noun) The act of having a piggy-back atop a non-Roman citizen. (barbara ataketo - barbarian raid (interesting, ReVo or the lernu vortaro does not have "raid" in the Eng-EO section nor "foray").
- Barbarano (noun) 1. A barbarian person (as expected), 2. A member of a group of beards or 3. A bearded frog.
- Eraaro (noun) 1. a group of eras, 2. a group of fragments (sxi portis la eraron de la rompita bovlo al la tablo) or 3. an erroneous rendition of "eraro" (error).
If I continue this they're just gonna get lamer anyone else?
