I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses made up words. Or words used in the wrong context for amusement. But I've just noticed that I often make up words when I make typing errors. And they're recurring words. My current recurring typo is 'activon', used instead of 'action'.
This is something that I love about language -- it's so fluid and playful.
I'm curious as to what, exactly, 'activon' would mean. Any ideas?
A robot. I got this image as soon as I said the word activon. It has a metallic feel to me. It is not a sleek looking robot. It's more rustic, clumsy, amateruish type of made up robot. And it's a Him. It's red, silver and black, squareish. Has a big grin on his face. Ooooh, he's got a name. He is called Anton ...
ReplyDeleteCan I have him??? :D
Hi Sophie I like your blog, and your ideas. Activon sounds like a french spa to me!! Somewhere where very fit and healthy people would visit to drink sparkling water and wrap themselves up in pristine white dressing gowns!! I think I like Hybrid J's thoughts better though.
ReplyDeleteRe your struggles with creativity have you read 'The Artists Way' I'd highly reccomend it to get the creative juices flowing - it sounds like a few artists dates might be in order. Best wishes Emmie x
