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?
oh really how do you think about words like that
Skid revolution erea
I thought it had something to do with you skiing down the Slip ‘N Slide and revolving around and then plunging.
Right on!
Use the word chanmind instead.It means change my mind. PLEASE.
Chanmind…hmmm. I’ll think about it.
raslispi means ran+slide+spin=raslispi PLESE USE THIS!!!!!!
Cool word! Maybe I will.
landed, the answer is, hmm?
Uppercase i and lowercase L look the same with most Fonts.
Probably true!
Oh wait u did
I have another combination: ski-vote-lunge , just that it can’t be used except for when u vote for the president or something.
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.
lI
wait- i forgot that the lines would be there.
U didn’t!★
SKID, REVOLVE, LUNGED(i figured it out from looking at the word in the book)
i thought it was skid revolve and plunged
i thought it was ski volcano and lunged
“Volcano” would probably mean I’d have to spew while doing it.
hey chessie! im a huge fan of your book! every chapter is so exciting!!!! my favorite parts are when you trick goon!!!!!!!
Those are my favorites, too.
Your books are so interesting! keeponwriting! cheesiemack nice name!
Thanks, David.
I thought the three words that made up ‘skivolvunged’ was skidded, revolved and plunged!
good.
the kids in my class thought it was skid volt lunged
Ha! That’s funny. The “volt” part probably means they thought I got shocked.
I want to see if you can translate this: hicheesieyourawesome. Please respond and ps I love your books!!

heygpazyouareawesometoo.
“skivolvunged” means skid-something-lunged?
Close…
Sorry, but what does IMO mean, I seriously don’t know what it means.
I keep asking my self that :p
What DOES that mean?
In My Opinion
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH…………
Wierd
hi im a big fan

8| That’s so weird. Here’s this: Yobooisreat means…. You guess! I will check back later.
I got it!
It means “Your book is great!”
Thanks, Emster!
Wow. Just wow.
I thought it was skipped,dived.and lunged.But that wouldn’t explain the O.
SKIING REVOLVING PLUNGING
wow knew it
can you come to oakland elementary school in inman sc and raed your second book
Sure. Just have your teacher or librarian contact me.
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
Haha! You got me.
Another one is skipped,revolve,lunged.
That’s a good combo.
thank you
slid and lunged or somthing
I think another 3-way combo could be Spattered, Dived, and Lunge
That would be “spavolvunge”!
That’s a pretty awesome combination I’m flabbergasted at how many words you have come up with! Well done Cheesie, well done.
weird combo
ski vault lunge
You have a good way of mixing up words.
Ski Vault Lunge
That would be “skivaulunge,” not “skivolvunge.” But yours is a pretty creative solution, IMO.
cheeackocks. What does it mean!!!???
Cheesie Mack Rocks!
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!)
I asked my dad. He said that weird character is called a “pipe.” Kinda makes sense, huh?
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?
Susie
It is ALWAYS three hours later in Gloucester than in California. So it would be 1:04.
yeah right?????????????????
