When I was very, very young and I learned that words were made up, I decided to make up the word "Supercontinental." I still think it was my greatest invention. I've done a lot since then, and I always try to convince the people I'm working with that we should at least code name what we're doing something like "Project Supercontinental." Nobody has ever liked my favorite word, the only word I ever invented, and, I think, now that I'm getting older, I will never find some project or thing to be called "Supercontinental." And then one day I will die, my favorite word meaning absolutely nothing except that I made it, I loved it, and it was mine. |

What about your stint in the Time Corp? Edit: No, that was another poster, you did some posts about Bush's White House back in 2006 or so. https://i.imgur.com/QKTkerO.mp4 |

That sounds like a good word for when hotels have a mostly continental breakfast but there's scrambled eggs and maybe a waffle maker but clearly not a full hot breakfast buffet. |

FluffieDuckie posted:I like it. May I use it? I've considered a solution like this. The problem is transcontinental covers that. Supercontinental would have been employed during the brief period that shipping lines had the advantage over bus or locomotive lines. It's the one distinguishing features. Perhaps it would have come into parlance during the zeppelin era, but that's a stretch. I could see a zeppelin company go supercontinental... ---------------- |

Supercontinental Byobway. I'm not sure. You can certainly use it. Please do. I'd like my word, the only word I ever made, to serve some purpose, to have some... meaning And not in just the abstract, academic sense... I want it to maybe, some day, be adjacent to perhaps vernacular ---------------- |

supercontinental = pangean, or at least gondwanan I like to use those as ethnic foods for when people are tired of the usual offerings "who's up for some pangean?" (hastily tosses together leftovers from the last couple of weeks' takeout) |

Super, as a prefix, basically means above. So if you're flying over the continent in an aeroplane or a zeppelin (or any similar contrivance), your experience could definitely be supercontinental, as could your breakfast. It's a good word. Thanks for sharing.

Or, if you have really good control over when you pee and can go without peeing for a whole day. And your name is Albert. |

I suggest calling into radio talk shows on topics like globalization, multi-national corporations, world travel, or really anything that has to do with anything international; and peppering it in. It's got buzzword quality, I think it could catch on |
