And the tide rises, the tide falls.
I wrote this program today to find what I’ve been calling “combo words”. Basically, you find one word that ends with a certain sequence of letters and then another word that begins with that same sequence of letters and it smushes them together into a fancy, new word. I’ve found that there are plenty of really dumb and boring examples of this, for example, “daydreaming” (daydream + dreaming). However, there are quite a few very amusing ones:
elephantoms
circumspectroscopy
bittersweetener
floundertaking
transpacification
permissionary
benedictionaries
etc, etc. Come up with your own! It’s fun! You can also run my program to get a big list and cheat, like me.
Oh! This is SOO cool! I love the words you came up with.
Palindromedary
A camel with one head on each end and a hump in the middle?
How would it poop?
We need to run the algorithm with a phonetic dictionary. I seem to recall CMU having a free one, back when I was research speach synthesis.
Frankly, I find the results are more interesting they they don’t match phonetically. Not sure why.
Also, psychedelicatessen.
Carefully.
I would like a big sandwich from the psychadelicatessen.
alligatorade?

I’m a big fan of these kind of word combos.
Dude, how many more times are you going to change your username? *laughs*
apothecarebear
phantomfoolery

Alligatornado.
I think that the actual origin of the name “Gatorade” is that it was developed at a college in Florida whose team was called the alligators.
Also, broadcasteroids.
xylophonetics
pteradactylenol
wow.
vaudevillegitimate
psychosahedron

I can’t help but think that this would make Scrabble more fun.
Are the illeterato anything like the literati?
Also, literationing
peacocksure
poisonorous
strainwreck
abberational
matriculatency
ITYM, “poisonerous”.
That’s an interesting one cause it can either be a 2 or a 4 overlap.
Every time I get bored with the one I’ve got.
Unfortunately I can’t get the java app to run. :/
That’s my Potterfanism discombobulating my proper spelling. *sheepish*

But “poisonorous” is perfectly legitimate as well–it’s a 3-letter overlap.
Wow, you’re absolutely right. I didn’t see that at all.
That’s a relief, thanks.
Glad to know I am still spelling right.
