I haven’t actually read this book, but had to share the quote I found.
“Wait,” he said. “That’s not a word.”
I looked down to where, in a moment of desperation, I’d played zixic on a triple-word-score space.
“Uh, sure it is.”
“What’s it mean?”
“It’s sort of like…quixotic, but with more…”
“Bullshit?”
I laughed out loud. I’d never heard him swear before.
“More zeal. Hence the z.”
“Uh-huh. Use it in a sentence.”
“Um…‘You are a zixic writer.'”
“I don’t believe this.”
“That you’re zixic?”
“That you’re trying to cheat at Scrabble.” He leaned back against my couch, shaking his head. “I mean, I was ready to accept the whole evil thing, but this is kind of extreme.”
— Richelle Mead (Succubus on Top)
What can I say? It made me laugh.
Sounds like our house. Minus the whole evil thing of course.
You do have a tendency to make up words.
No, I don’t. You just need to expand your vocabulary.
I like!
