bunkum: gatvol

Man, it’s been ages since we’ve played a game here at the Grit. I think it’s time to resume the weekly ritual.

Here goes:

  • Post a definition for the made-up word above your comment, or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person.
  • Have fun!

Starter word: gatvol (thanks, Anti!)

bunkum: klem

Time for some weekend entertainment. Remember how this works?

  • For the made-up word above yours in the comments, post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

Starter word: klem (thanks, Heidi!)

bunkum: fortunicate

What better to do on a weekend than sit around and Bunkum. Of course, I’ll be sitting around on a speeding metal tube at 26,000 feet above the Atlantic. But you guys can have some fun while I’m spanning the globe in a single flight.

Remember how this works?

  • For the made-up word above yours in the comments, post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!


Starter word: fortunicate (compliments of Mandy)

bunkum: ecela

It’s been a while since we’ve Bunkumed around here. Here’s how it works:

  • For the made-up word above yours in the comments, post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

Starter word: ecela (compliments of @ngie)

bunkum: fersurdum

I like words. All words. Real and imaginary.

I thought some of the words (and their meanings) that came up last time we talked bunkum should become part of everyday vocabulary. Let’s see where our creative minds take us this time…

For the made-up word above yours in the comments, post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence. Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

Starter word: fersurdum (compliments of Ed)

Ready… GO!

bunkum: dehickulate

In light of the success of the last little somethin’ somethin’, I figured it might be fun to give this a try…

Bunkum Rules of Play:
The commenter before you will post a word they made up. You should post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence. Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

(I can’t wait to read Danielle’s husband‘s contributions!)

Starter word: dehickulate
