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)
