Helping students work with
words, even when they look mean
and nasty.

“I was very poogly last night…”
“I was very poogly last night
when saw her…”
“I was very poogly last night
when saw her with a knife in her
hand…”

Three mean and
nasties…If you continue be so mumpsimus as to keep saying “I didn’t went” in class, I’ll give you a zero on your next report card.
Agreeing with that old idea that death penalty is effective is just so wrong... it’s absolutely mumpsimus.
Al is so mumpsimus in his insistence that Grammar Translation is the still best methodology. What an old man he is!

Three mean and
nasties…“Winter is coming...”, thought Al as he curled up erinaceously under the duvet.
Due to the strange diet of bread and milk that the doctor had put him on, Al ate erinaceously throughout the winter.
The spiky little creature walked erinaceously through the garden towards the left-over cat food.

Three mean and
nasties…On that nudiustertian afternoon, Al decided that drinking a litre of whiskey would be a good idea, which explained the hangover he still had 48 hours later.
I'd ordered the massage gel on-line for £48 that nudiustertian morning and was not expecting it to arrive until two days later.
The nudiustertian fashion in San Isidro is wearing bright fluorescent colours and calling your male friends “Papi”.

Get your students to look at
some nudiustertian words… and
invent some of their own.
