The previous Words I Made Up — The Seventeenth was published on 13 April 2019. Today we are 6 July 2021. Instead of the average one article every few months, it took me two years and two months to come up with ten novel words. Quite a telling realisation, which says a whole lot about my latest state of mind. As mentioned before, I used to wake up with some words on the tip of my tongue, not much the case these days. Oh well. Onward Forward, even if at certain parts of the journey we move significantly slow; or even if we stop for a while to look around, or to assess the situation, or to just smell the flowers. What is most important is that, in the Big Picture, one is moving ahead. Enjoint.

Hi Omar.. while I find most of your made up words smart and entertaining.. I really don’t like 3abeedient. Modern day slavery to me is still so prevalent in the world, especially in the Middle East, that putting such a word out there gives energy to such a situation that should have never existed in the past or let alone the present. Please consider removing 🙏🏽
ReplyDeleteHi Curlydunz, excuse the late reply as I just saw your comment. Indeed, modern day slavery still exists — Middle East and pretty much everywhere else, including the “civilised world”. Echoing with this piercing quote by Charles Bukowski: “Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colours.”
DeleteNow, my jovial creation here is a mere word. Not sure if you speak Arabic, but 3abd, or Aabd and 3abeed (Aabeed) for plural means slave(s). And the word and obedient happen to share a few letters, so 3abeedient came to being. The question then to ask is: Why would mere symbols offend anyone? This blog is the colourful palette of my life, in which I share my raw, genuine, unfiltered, unadulterated, non-watered-down creations as well as Truth — right out of my inner being. Thank you for the comment though. Salute.
