more new words ......and FUM !!

"Buy Fum! The fun gum!"

Prove should ryhme with drove, grove and trove.

Proove would be a better spelling.

( I got this from a typo on a message board.)

wrove would be a cool new word too. ( Carl Wrove?)

Now all that's needed are new meanings for prove and wrove. :-D


Plutoids - new name for kuiper belt objects.

Blech, this is a horrible word.

Why not just call them kaybee-o's? (K.B.O.'s - Kuiper Belt Objects)

Or tee-en o's? (TNO's - Trans - Neptunian objects*)

What about the word planetoid?

*phrase seen on a website. not my invention)




"With the exception of Earth, the planets were named after major players in Greek or Roman mythology, a tradition that began in antiquity and was continued with the somewhat recent discoveries of Uranus (in 1781) and Neptune (in 1846)."

"The same approach was applied to Pluto when astronomer Clyde Tombaugh spotted it in 1930, though the demoted world's name was actually suggested by then 11-year-old Venetia Burney Phair of England. She named the world after the Roman god of the underworld." - Tariq Malik, Space.com
