Yesterday, Pretty Maggie and I went on a weather-related-aborted attempt to go on on an outing to browse. We're both browsers, perhaps me more than her, but we both also simply wanted out of the house for a little while. Long story short, we ended up back home and decided to try our outing for browsing on the morrow. But I thought something needed improvement. How could one say "outing" and "Browsing" more effeciently.

This called for a new word.

I submit to the world (Hello, World!) the following choices for presenting the concept of leaving the house with the sole or main purpose of browsing.

Browting (alt. spelling - Brouting)
Ousing (alt. spelling - Owsing)

Feel free to use these words in conversation, or even writing. Try them out. See if they fit and don't chafe too much.

And enjoy.

Pretty Maggie seems offended that I feel I can go around making up words, but the fact remains that new words are created every day. Remember Sniglets? Remember all the new scary words the computer generation has given us? English would be a dull, static language were it not for the occasional injection of neologisms, and for that, I give you the link to The Internalational Dictionary of Neologisms. Check it out before you go on your next browting (or ousing) and have something fun to talk about in the car.

Cheers!
