Reflecting
on the sounds and meanings of words – especially in a nonsensical way – is rather
like the “clear your mind/think of nothing” aspect of meditation.
Which
led me this morning to think that a micycle
is a mouse bicycle, and a tricycle is a bicycle for someone with three legs, and
a canticle is a song for someone incapable of singing.
Frantical should
be a back-formation of frantically.
The
word mandible is henceforth banned
for not conforming.
