Hey, you know those cool words they make you type when you comment on a blog, the ones that prevent spammers from commenting? If they were real words, what would they mean? See if you can come up with a definition and use it in a sentence.
Today’s word is: Herknorf
HAVE FUN! AND HAPPY FRIDAY?
This is a little know, highly endangered animal that lives high in the andes mountains. It's about the size of a normal house cat, (ie. smaller than Mitchell Lafayette!). It has the hooves of a goat, but the trunk and ears of an elephant. It lives in tiny crevaces high in the mountains and only comes out at night. It eats mainly rocks and branches that grow high on the mountain walls.
No one has ever taken a picture of the herknorf. Only a few natives have seen the animal.
That's hilarious! I've been keeping a list of those 'words' for one of my stories! And this feature is way more fun than the one I tried for awhile - using an older/forgotten/unusual word in a sentence in the comments. It didn't really take off, but a few of them were pretty funny! Have a good day! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like some poisonous plant to me. Something that makes peoples toes turn blue and fall off.

Herknorf - what an elephant says when its trunk is being squeezed.
ReplyDeleteYou're all wrong. This is a verb used in the everyday vernacular of the deep south, meaning "the act of turning North suddenly and on purpose."
ReplyDelete"Foller the county highway 'til you reach a fork in the road, then herknorf."
Thanks for this new word/animal. I haven't heard of it. What a "fun" diet it has!
ReplyDeleteAnna, that's hilarious!
Herknorf is a delicacy in the Kingdom of Jergina.
ReplyDeleteHerknorf sat in front of me, my stomach gurgled, though hungry there was no way I could politely swallow the delicacy of this Kingdom. I couldn't wait to get back to my hometown, I'm in need of a hamburger.
These are all great. Thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteAHhh.. I love it! I don't know why.. I'm thinking of Smurf names.. go figure ;)
ReplyDeleteHerknorf is a sneeze you make while eating sauerkraut ;)
ReplyDeleteHerknorf - you know how some people use words in replacement of swearing? Sugar instead of shit is one we commonly use. Well, herknorf is one of those words.
