    Default Tmesis

    I recently learned about this lovely concept wording called tmesis.

    Now, I know most of you have no idea what this is and if you already have, kudos to you fellow villager!

    Also to make this even more fun, I am not going to tell you what this means. Rather, you can spoil the fun and look it up on Google.com like a noob, or you can play it the Fera way.

    I will post examples of tmesis and you can guess what it is and post your favorite examples of tmesis, or better yet create your own.

    You could also become a SUPER NOOB by posting the definition of tmesis here in the thread.

    Who ever does will be crowned the Super Noob.

    I will begin *clears throat*


    Abso- freakin' - lutely!

    SUPER NOOB(s)-

    Adding in a word into a word? (no google guess)
    (Something funny, interesting, or even mildly entertaining should go here, but I can't think of anything at this particular moment.)

    Is it the seperation of the word? I noticed you seperated it...

    And I don't think it would mean something like Abso- freakin' - lutely.

    The word sounds too fancy

    tmesis

    Interpolation of a word or group of words between the parts of a compound word

    Simple definition:

    The separation of parts of a compound word by an intervening word or words, heard mainly in informal speech

    Put simply the separation of a compound word by another word.

    Abso-freaking-lutely is a bad example, because absolutely isn't a compund word.

    Technically, Mf's simplified definition is incorrect.

    Tmesis is simply a word said inside of another word

    Compounded word can be used but are no required.
