I also like the term crumb bum.

I also like eel and sour plums.

  • about 1 year, 1 month ago, arcadia said: Thanks. I'll try. I didn't know about the

  • about 1 year, 8 months ago, nearsounds said: I've been searching for others that have fun with words and Wordie looks like a great place. Your interest in words is very similar to mine. I especially focus on how word combos can trigger thought or give the mind a puzzlement to find meaning. It's amazing how only two words can do that. Write me sometime at nearsounds@hotmail.com and I'll try to explain more of my thoughts on areas of minimalistic wordplay.
