Serious Word “age”
I love words. They are fun, they come in all kinds of languages, you can rhyme them, say them for nothing, say them quietly or loudly or even not at all and, best of all, they are easy to exploit. One word can have several meanings, and if you add extra letters to them, they can mean even more.
One of my very favourite things, as a matter of fact, is to play the “age” game, I add those three letters to random words to see if it works. Sometimes the “g” is soft, as in “massage”, and sometimes it is a hard “g” like the word “message”. The words may end up as nouns or as verbs and once in a while you can turn a noun into a verb or vice versa. Usually the hard “g” turns it into a noun type of word and the soft makes it a bit more verb “ish”.
Bless is a good one, “blessage” (hard “g”) is a word I use when someone sneezes, it means “bless you” in Binkdonk’s dictionary.
Burp is interesting because it uses both types of “g”. “Burpage” (soft “g”), is what you do with gassy infant. Burpage (hard “g”) is usually what happens after guzzling a carbonated beverage much too fast.
Fail; not what anybody wants to do, however, “failage” (hard “g”) happens when tests are not studied for or when there is a lack of focus and intent in whatever is attempted (nothing that some serious planning cannot overcome).
Spank is my favourite! “Spankage”, (soft “g”) is reminiscent of a spanking that relaxes you, it even sounds like it when said in a soft voice. On the other hand, “spankage” (hard “g”) is what you get when you don’t obey.
Whip, as unlikely as it seems, makes sense. “Whippage”, is what you get when going through dense forest undergrowth at any kind of rapid pace. Especially if the person ahead of you is just letting the branches fling back at you. Try to go first, in order to prevent this calamity from happening to you .
Oh! The possibilities are endless. There is also the option of changing the meanings of words that already have the “age” suffix. Just by making it hard or soft.
Do be careful with the soft “g’s” in case it sounds too pretentious but have fun and really enjoy that sound as it slides out of your mouth.
