Skivolvunge (The stuff on this webpage was mentioned on page 121 in my book.)

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?

  1. I thought it had something to do with you skiing down the Slip ‘N Slide and revolving around and then plunging.

  2. I have another combination: ski-vote-lunge , just that it can’t be used except for when u vote for the president or something.

  3. also, does a lowercase l look more like an uppercase i?
    it does on my computer.
    i am going to type them together, actually, so you can see how they would look next to each other.

  4. hey chessie! im a huge fan of your book! every chapter is so exciting!!!! my favorite parts are when you trick goon!!!!!!!

  5. I thought the three words that made up ‘skivolvunged’ was skidded, revolved and plunged!

    1. Ha! That’s funny. The “volt” part probably means they thought I got shocked.

  6. I want to see if you can translate this: hicheesieyourawesome. Please respond and ps I love your books!!

  7. Sorry, but what does IMO mean, I seriously don’t know what it means.

  8. 8| That’s so weird. Here’s this: Yobooisreat means…. You guess! I will check back later.

  9. Iaamacrazedfan!!!!!!!!!!(i didn’t write spaces i want to see if you know how hard it is to read a part of youre first book

  10. That’s a pretty awesome combination I’m flabbergasted at how many words you have come up with! Well done Cheesie, well done.

    1. That would be “skivaulunge,” not “skivolvunge.” But yours is a pretty creative solution, IMO.

  11. You forgot about that weird key, above the “Enter” key.

    It looks like this: |

    An “L” looks like this: l

    …and a one looks like this: 1

    Yes, Cheesie, on the “Comment” dialog, it looks like l and 1 are the same, but on my screen, your example looks really weird, compared to everyone else going “OMG, I think it’s impossible to tell them apart!”, since on my screen, the L looks like the forwards slash: / and the 1 looks like that weird one and “L” looking thing, that doesn’t really resemble a 1 on paper, which looks like this: | (It looks better on paper!)

  12. 1l, oh yah! That does look similar. May i ask you a question, totally different topic? If it’s 10:04 in California, (my home) sweat time is it in Gloucester?
