  • frindley Spanghew – to cause (esp. a toad or frog) to fly into the air off the end of a stick. (In northern and Scottish use.) Why? Well, all one has to do is imagine the myriad situations in which one might use this word.

  • chained_bear Oh no, sionnach, by all means. Go ahead. Though that public list feature is a daisy, if you were so inclined. Mar 26, 2008

  • reesetee Sionnach, I think you'd have a PB&J spanghwich if you were to cause it to fly into the air.

    I do love this word. :-D Mar 26, 2008

  • sionnach Oh, I just wrote down all the words I could think of for an -ngh- list. Maybe we could do it together, c-b? Mar 26, 2008

  • chained_bear Ooh! Ooh! Words for my Excrement list! Oh. They're already there.

    Hm. Maybe I *will* make a -ngh- list. But first I have to finish the last 1.5 O'Brian thingies. Mar 26, 2008

  • sionnach This just sounds like a word that was made up by a couple of bored linguistics grad students on a slow day at the office.

    What if I cause my peanut butter and jelly sanghwhich to fly into the air. Is there a special word for that? Does it matter if the PB is smooth or crunchy? What about frog spraints? Or maybe I mean frog frass. Mar 26, 2008

  • reesetee Say, chained_bear--I think you ought to start one. Feb 23, 2007

  • chained_bear There ought to be a list somewhere for words with -ngh- in them.
    This is truly weird. Feb 23, 2007

  • reesetee To throw or jerk violently--specifically, to cause to fly into the air, as with a toad or frog.

    I'm not kidding. There's actually a *word* for this. Who writes this stuff? Feb 23, 2007
