Today I went to
my fun anime club. Tomorrow my fun Pokemon card thingie. Hopefully I
can get the cards I need to make the deck idea I have with the
adorable Pokemon so I can defeat the big, cooler ones hilariously. I
also wonder how many kids will have expensive decks built for them by
their older siblings or parents. Just like soapbox derbys or the
like.
The Unique
Word
A group of
linguists hung out in a club. To study language and discover more
about the world was how they spent time together. And together they
made a fictional language. Grammar, words, whatever they could.
But as the
group discussed their language day after day in the kitchen of
whoever hosted the club that week they never felt truly satisfied.
The linguists knew the extent of language. They invented words but
they could only invent new names for egg or whatever or different
words versions of specificity. Like a single word for an egg not
eaten by bird because it is rotten. Their grammar and writing
couldn't be truly unique. The linguists did have fun, but they
couldn't feel satisfied with their constructed language, but it never
felt truly original. They knew so many languages they knew they
couldn't make anything unique. They even wondered if they could make
a word with no definition...but they knew languages had words that
meant nothing.
Together the
linguists of all ages and experiences thought to try to make a word
but they couldn't come up a word that didn't already exist...so that
led them to the conclusion that resolved their issue.
Their language
was the first that had a rule that a word existed in every sentence
that had no true name, definition, or written form or pronunciation.
Some words may be defined as meaning nothing or gibberish in a
language, but this wasn't even defined as meaning nothing. It was
less than that. It was known merely as “the word”. It was to be
known that it existed in the language but was impossible to write
down because it had no letters or sounds. It only existed in that it
was said to exist for the sake of existing. Like a ghost of language,
and a desire of the linguists to invent for the sake of inventing.
Truly a desire belonging to any creative mind.
