Wonka Word Wednesday (11/30/11)

Wonkalicious  - (adjective) - Similar to the English word “delicious” but without the “de” (which some find similar to the "de” in demote and degrade, which sounds nothing like delicious).  Wonkalicious is used when describing anything that is both delicious (usually food) and scrumdiddlyumptious.  Due to this amazing feat (of describing both a real word and another WonkaWord), wonkalicious is superior to any alternative way of describing deliciousness.  Despite this fact, wonkalicious should be used sparingly, as many edible items are nowhere near being worthy of being called wonkalicious.  

Example - Wonkabars are wonkalicious.

Note - As with most WonkaWords, wonkalicious is greatly enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” and should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.

Variations - wonkaliciousness (noun), wonkaliciously (adv)

Wonka Word Wednesday (11/9/11)

“What the Wonk!” - (expression) - Similar in origin, form, meaning, and sound to “What da Bump!”, “What the Wonk!” is primarily an expression used to demonstrate great distress or frustration. While common usage is limited to scenarios dealing with a lack of resources (primarily food), “What the Wonk!” can be used in any situation to denote emotions ranging from simple displeasure to uncontrolled rage. “What the Wonk!” should not be confused with confusingly similar “What da Wonk!” which is used to express sadness, pain, or worry. In recent culture, “What the Wonk!” has become far too common and lost much of it’s meaning.

Example - Upon realizing there was no more milk, Krutawn exclaimed, “What the Wonk!”

Note - Unlike most WonkaWords, “What the Wonk!” is not enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” however, it still should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.

Variations - “What the William!” (expression), “What the Wonk is wrong with you?!?!” (expression)

Wonka Word Wednesday (10/19/11)

Wonkatastic - (adjective) - Similar to the English word “fantastic” but with either greater or lesser significance. Wonkatastic refers to something that either is or could be fantastic and yet is something else entirely. Due to this dual nature, wonkatastic should be used only in a context where the speaker/writer is utterly astonished by what they are describing and the listener/reader is too dumbfounded to comprehend the situation.

Example - Milk is wonkatastic!

Note - As with most WonkaWords, wonkatastic is greatly enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” and should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.

Variations - wonkatastical (adj), wonkatastically (adv), wonkatasticality (noun)

Wonka Word Wednesday (10/12/11)

WonkaWord - (noun) - a word, generally beginning with the prefix “wonka-” or “wonk-”, which is used to enhance one’s speech or writing to a ridiculously epic level. WonkaWords are commonly used in situations where the speaker/writer is unable to establish coherent ideas or thoughts and must resort to the wisdom of Willy Wonka. In such times, the introduction of the “wonk(a)-” prefix can, and usually will, alter the rhetorical situation in such a way that neither the author nor the audience will be able to deny it’s power. As such, WonkaWords are extremely powerful and should be used only when the speaker/writer needs a little more “spice.” As such, most WonkaWords are invented on the spot and therefore many remain undocumented. It is the purpose of WonkaWord Wednesdays to document and endorse WonkaWords, and to pay tribute to their undeniable ability to add that extra-chocolaty semi-preciousness to our lives.

Example - Every Wednesday I will be posting a new WonkaWord on Facebook. Thus, one could refer to Wednesdays as “WonkaWord Wednesdays”... if one saw fit.

Note - Most WonkaWords are greatly enhanced by the prefix “Willy-” or “William-” and should generally be followed by one or many exclamation points.

Variations - WonkaWords (plural), WonkaWording (verb), WonkaWordy (adj)
