Inspiration point (IP)
This week's IP is a bit daft. Make up a word. There’s a grand tradition of nonce-words, Shakespeare was a master of them. A nonce word is for an occasion where you need a new word, just for now – or ‘for the nonce’. Anyway, make one up, write something containing it, about it, defining it or saying why you/we need it. Whatever you like. Good luck with your nonce-sence.
