Tmesis

[Fera.]

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!

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

[Bloo]

semi-bump, I wanna see more guesses

[Mfdom]

I should probably just post a definition for lulz.

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

[Beaker]

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.

[Fera.]

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.
