In Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything, I described our fifth-grade graduation party (which was entirely fun, except for Goon’s massive interference…). One of the things I wrote was:
I took a huge running start, then scoogled (this is my made-up word . . . it is a combination of scoot and wiggle) on the Slip ’N Slide and skivolvunged butt-first into the dirt, which was actually mud.
And then I asked:
Can you guess what “skivolvunged” is a three-way combo of?
Here’s the answer:
SKId + reVOLVe + lUNGED
If you have a different answer, I would love to know it. Please comment below.
Does the small “l” in “lunged” look like a number 1 to you? It does on my computer.
IMO, that is a big mistake in typography (my mom says that’s what the look of letters and numbers on a page or screen is called). I’m going to type them together so you can see how similar they are:
l1
Weird, huh?
I thought it was ski, revolve, and lunge!
That’s right. (lunge…lunged, no difference.)
I thought it was SKId+reVOLVe+plUNGED
I was so close!
I never thought of plUNGED. I think it’s just as good as lUNGED> I give you an A+ on this one!
Same here!
flipped over 10times
ina row in air with a
revolver running forward
Sounds way too dangerous if the revolver is loaded!
Skid-o-lunge
I’m always making up words like, rop (combination of running and hopping.)Also on my computer the lower case i looks like a number 1 see 1 i.Goodbyzo(wich is also a word I made up it is NOT a combination.)
your crazy friend,Ashley
That’s a weird word. I mean, what does skid even mean??
It is a weird looking word, isn’t it.
It means to slide, typically sideways or at an angle, on slippery ground or from stopping or turning too quickly
I knew that lunged was in it!
SKId reVOLVe lUNGED is what I think.
I thought that skivolvinged was skip, vault, and lunged.
i mean skivolvuged
o my goodness, i mean skivolvunged
Good try, but wouldn’t skip, vault, and lunged be skivaulvunged?
Skipped+lunged+dropped=sklungopped
Skim (milk) vole (the animal)refunded…
so you milked a vole and got a refund!!
Haha! That’s the craziest answer I ever heard.
Can you guess what lantripacked means, I give you a guess
I lantripacted onto the ground
Hmmm. That’s a tough one. I guess…
land + trip + impact
Aw man, you were right!
Skied + vaulted(vol) + lunged
very creative!
That’s exactly what I guessed!!!!!!!!
key+ko+laked
Skived + Evovled + Surge
I thout the SKI in skivolvunged ment somthhing to do with a skink.
That’s weirdly cool. A skink is like a lizard, so that means I’d have to move in a wiggly way.
skim, revolve, plunge
And even one more good one! I could’ve SKImmed and plUNGED.
ski+revolve+sponged
Another good one! I could’ve SKIed.
It could be SKIpped reVOLVed and lUNGED Cheesie Mack!
Good one! I could’ve SKIpped.
