January 1, 2008 - Happy New Year Jabberwockers

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2008.

Wordsmith.org sends me a word each day. On December 21st, I was delighted that they sent me the word JABBERWOCKY.

Other words that week were:

Anthropomorphize
Kafkaesque
Excursive
Dysphagia

jabberwocky (JAB-uhr-wok-ee) noun

Definition: Meaningless speech or writing.

It became a word after Jabberwocky, a nonsense poem by Lewis Carroll was included in his 1871 novel Through the Looking Glass.

The poem Jabberwocky is filled with made-up words, yet it has been translated into dozens of languages. Not bad for a nonsensical poem.
