(G)neologizing with gnomi

[gnomi]

Today's neologism: pornucopia

porn-u-cop-i-a: a varied collection of smut

(the context under which I coined it is, basically, irrelevant. I just want it here for general tracking purposes.)

I LOVE THIS!

(also the caps lock key and i have a thing...)

That was actually the name of a Piers Anthony book...

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

(probably shows I haven't read any Anthony in about 15 years)

For some reason, you were one of the folks I thought might appreciate it. ;-)

And is your spacebar aware of the goings-on between you and your caps lock key?

Love it!!!

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Oddly enough this "new" word sounded familiar, but with a slightly different definition: a large collection of smut. I'm not sure if it just seemed obvious (I was raised on puns after all) or if someone else has already used it in my hearing.

which is different from pornutopia, which indicates a world made better through smut (and an excellent and epic popslash story ...)

Yep, I've had some of those ;)

I hate to be the party pooper, but I must point out that that term has already been appropriated by the porn industry; the reason that it's worth pointing out is that I don't think I've ever found a punnier line of work than porn, and if you can stomach the graphic-ness, you might at least appreciate the titles. They're all terrible, lewd takes on actual movies; "Titty Slickers," "May the Foreskin Be With You"...the mind reels.

Reels! God, I did it again.

Nor I, though I think it was actually published around 1970... not one of his more famous, obviously... but when sdavido was writing the P.A. bio for the fantasy-writers encyclopedia, he spent a lot of time dredging up obscure books, so I remembered the title.
