Chiffian? Midup? Xyzzy?

  • Article

Chiffian. Really? Children....

Yes, that is what my cousin wrote about. Veebs.... tsk, tsk, tsk.

Did she even look up the word?

So if you go look up the word chiff, you find a few nice definitions, and a few not so nice ones. So what to do, what to do.... What to do....?

I guess I will have to teach her a bit about creating words that show up nicely in SEO. Midup. Now that's a word! Or take for instance the word xyzzy. If you just tried to pronounce it, you probably don't know what punch cards are either. Children, children, children. And you think you are geeks? Nerds? Really....

And you clearly don't even know what it means. Xyzzy that is. It is from "THE" first computer adventure game ever created. Nowadays, we call them "first person" games. Okay, still don't know what I am talking about? Think WOW without all of the graphics, ***, money, and other garbage. And no controller. Just a keyboard and, well, words. That's it, green, yellow, or blue text, a keyboard, and your brain.

That's what games are all about. The adventure. The story. The words.

Xyzzy. Now that is a classic made up word.
