I think Ann Parsons was the first to use it, so maybe she can answer. When I read it I just assumed it was a made up word. Is there a word for made up words?

When I was in school every time I took one of those standardized tests I would always land in the very highest percentile on the vocabulary section. I am always hearing people tell me that I use big words. All this has led me to be pretty confident of my vocabulary. However, in just the last couple of days I have seen a word in a couple of emails that I was unfamiliar with, klooge. From context I surmise that it means a work-around. Since this is the second time I have encountered it, though, I thought I would google it. I used the Google define feature. In both emails in which it occurred I note that it is spelled in two different ways. One spelling is k l u g e. The other spelling is k l o o g e. I googled both and for the first I got a definition stating that it is a clever or wise man. I got no definition for the second spelling. Since even the first definition does not seem to have anything to do with the contexts in which I came across it I think it might be slang. I am intrigued though. Can someone let me know what the correct spelling actually is and what its origin might be and exactly what it means? _ _ _ "The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry." - Richard Dawkins Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Carcione" <carcione@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 1:42 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Editing with BNPK I was able to retrieve my file by going to Wordpad on my PC and opening the file I'd copied from the BN, then re-saving it under a different name. Klooge! But at least I have my work. I'd still like to know why Word won't open the file directly, though.
