Gobblefunk in E2C!


Several students in E2ºC suggested gobblefunk terms (with definitions) inspired by the giants´ "language" in Roald Dahl´s The BFG. Here are some...

Sara suggests (among 33 other words): SQUIZZLET (adj., very small), to SPLATCHBUNKUM (v., to sleep), to SLOSHFUNKLY (v., to like), SCRUMDIDDLYSTER (adj., something scary), to ROTIDGY (v., to walk in circles), GLUMPERS (adj.,bad people), to WHIZZBLY (v., to call someone whistling), CRUMPELINGUTEROUS (adj.,something scary), SNITCHFLUNKING (adj., very thin)... Great work Sara, you are a Gobblefunk expert!

Álex puts forward to SNOZZPOPPER (v.,to make noise with the nose), CHIDDILLIES (n.,babies), TROGGLESOME (adj.,ugly), MOOCHSTER (n.,monster).

Sofía B. has invented TROGGLEBUNKING (adj., very difficult), SQUIZZLERS (n., like a chill, but stronger), PIFFLESTER (n., someone really nice who lets you down when you have problems").

Let´s see what Silvia mentions: to FOOTCHSWITCH (v.,to kick witches), CHIDDPOPPER (n., children who make bubbles with their tongue), to TROGGLESQUIDDLY (v., to swallow very fast), SCUDDUMPTIOUS (adj., a person who is easily frightened), to DUMWIGGLER (v., to make magic).

Javier proposes HIPSTERSQUEAKING (adj., a fanatic of Starbucks)

Mihai mentions SQUIZZELING (v., to do silly things), FROBKIN (adj., delicious), BOGGLESQUASH (n., swimming-pool), SNOZZUMPTIONS (adj., a person who doesn´t like waiting).

Wondercrump work! (a bit buggles, but scrumdiddlyumptious anyway!)
