A Cork Radio Station (in Ireland), was running a competition to find contestants who could come up with words that were not found in any English dictionary yet could still use these words 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, my name’s Dave.
DJ:Dave, what’s 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 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, my name’s Jeff.
DJ:Jeff, what’s your word?
Caller: Smee, spelt S M E E, pronounced “smee”.
DJ: We are just 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 to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in that would make logical sense?
Caller: Smee again! Goan fuck yourself!
