Hummvue: means “I love you too. You mean the whole world to me. I would die without you, without your beautiful smile to sustain me, to encourage me beyond words. You excite me, even after all these years. I love you with all that I am.” Honya: means “Of course, I’ll pick my feet up while you dust, sweep, mop, vacuum around me. I love the way you work hard to keep such a tidy home, immaculate in every respect. I admire your energy and drive, and I respect your discipline and tenacity.” Hummahh: means “That was another fabulous meal, perfection in every dish. And thank you for including a sweet dessert with enough leftover for a couple of great snacks. I love your cooking. Puts every restaurant in town to shame. We don’t ever have to go out to eat with such fine fare right here at home.” Hummmk: means “Honey, please be quiet. I can’t hear the TV. I would love to turn the channel, but it’s the most important part of the game.” Or, “Not now, it’s the most important part of the game.” Harkch: means “What’re you gonna do with that gun/knife/rope/rat poison/frying pan. And why are your eyes all squinty?”   Writing Prompt ***Invent 5 sniglets. List them with their definitions*** Comedian Rich Hall defined a Sniglet as a word that doesn't appear in the dictionary but should. A Sniglet is a word to describe something that the English language doesn't already have a word for. Examples (created by Rich Hall in his book series Sniglets): *flirr, a photograph that features the camera operator's finger in the corner. *lerplexed, unable to find the correct spelling for a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it. *profanitype, the special symbols and stars used by cartoonists to replace swear words (points, asterisks, stars, and so on). *pupkus, the moist residue left on a window after a dog presses its nose to it.
