Okay. Roald Dahl. He wrote The BFG, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc. But today, I am here to describe just how genius he actually was with writing the BFG.
If you don't know already, The BFG is a story about the Big Friendly Giant, and dreams, and giants, and AMAZING MADE UP WORDS! So, I just feel the need to share these wonderful words with you wonderful people.
Gobblefunk: Confusing and messing up the meaning of words. I think the word he is looking for is Malapropism, which I think I went over earlier in the year.
Swizzfiggling: The act of Teasing. I guess the BFG was Swizzfiggled quite a bit about his ears. I actually forget a lot of this story, which kinda makes me sad.
Replusant: Something extraordinarily wonderful, outstanding, and excellent. I think that's kinda odd, because it looks a lot like repulsive, which would be the antonym of Replusant.
Frobscottle: A Drink, loved by the Giants in this novel.
Whizpopper: Fun fact. A Whizpopper, at least in the world of the BFG, is a buuuuurrrrrp.
Snozzling: Ah, yes. Snozzling. It's my favorite pastime. Or, as you non-giants know it as, Sleeping.
Zozimus: Zozimus is the material that dreams are made of, a material very precious to the characters in the book.
Flushbunking: And, finally, we have Flushbunking, or, in layman's terms, being in a hurry.
Now, if you don't mind, I have to flushbunk and study for the SAT. Which is why this post isn't as long as others.
Bye.
