Time To Put A Cork In It

June 20, 2007

A Cork radio station was running a competition - words that weren’t in the dictionary but could still be used in a sentence that would make logical sense.

The prize was a trip to Bali.

DJ: “96FM here, what’s your name?”
Caller: “Hi, me name’s Dave”
DJ: “Dave, what’s your word?”
Caller: “Goan, spelt G-O-A-N, pronounced go-an”
DJ: ” You are correct Dave, ‘goan’ is not in the dictionary. Now for the trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that makes sense?”
Caller: “Goan fuck yourself!”

The DJ cut the caller short and took more calls, all of which were unsuccessful until:

DJ: “96FM here, what’s your name?”
Caller: “Hi, my name is Jeff”
DJ: “Jeff, what’s your word?”
Caller: “Smee, spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced smee”
DJ: ” You are correct Jeff, ’smee’ is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that makes sense?”
Caller: “Smee again, goan fuck yourself!”
