This list is an example of trying to capture raw data about the world—except it's not a real world, it's make-believe. Still need that list though!
From Lists of Note: In 1982, The BFG was published – a magical and wildly successful children’s book in which a Big Friendly Giant blows pleasant dreams through the windows of young children. As he was creating the story, renowned author Roald Dahl set about creating a new vocabulary for the enormous protagonist: a 238-word language that he ultimately named, “Gobblefunk”. Words that made the cut included, “humplecrimp”, “swallomp”, “crumpscoddle” and, most memorably, “snozzcumber”. The list you see here was written by Dahl as he brainstormed, and offers a snapshot of “Gobblefunk” in its infancy.
