Radio Contest

  • by

Radio station 96FM had a contest that involved inventing a word that did not appear in the Dictionary yet the caller must still use this word in a sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali for a week.

 

The DJ, Neil, had many callers; the following two standing out:

DJ: 96FM, what’s your name?

Caller: Hi, me name’s Dave.

DJ: Dave, what is your word?

Caller: Goan, spelt G O A N, pronounced "go-an"

DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct Dave,"goan" is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now the Next question, for a trip for two to Bali , is, what sentence can you use that in that would make logical sense?

Caller: Goan fuck yourself!

 

At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that there is no place for that sort of language on a family show.

After many more unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following caller:

 

DJ: 96FM, what’s your name?

Caller: Hi, me name’s Jeff.

DJ: Jeff, what is your word?

Caller: Smee, spelt S M E E, pronounced "smee".

DJ: We are checking that (pause) and you are correct, Jeff, "smee" is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now the next question, for a trip for two to Bali , is, what sentence can you use that in that would make logical sense?

 

Caller: Smee again! Goan fuck yourself!
