It is the first weekend of the month and time again for a new word to live. This is a word or phrase not currently in use in the U.S. English lexicon, but might need to be considered. Other words, such as obsurd, crumpify, subsus, flib, congressed, and others, can be found by clicking on the tags below. Today’s New Word is a merging of two words: quagmire and muffin. Without further chattering quagmuffin is the new word for the month of November:
Quagmire, n. 1) an area of boggy or soggy ground, a bog. 2) a situation too easy to get into too hard to get out of.
Muffin, n. small, cup-shaped quick breads made with cornmeal, wheat flour, or something similar and baked in a muffin pan creating a series of cup-like breads.
Quagmuffin, n. 1) a food, particularly at parties or around the holidays, you are cajoled into trying and then find difficult to swallow and say something complimentary about while the host or cook looks expectantly at you. Quagmuffin can apply to any food, though originally believed to have started with muffins or cupcakes. 2) the way your mouth feels once you have bitten into the quagmuffin.
Example: Bob cajoled Sam into trying his wife’s newest holiday creation: the crabtastic cupcake. Bob took a bite and immediately felt his mouth had bitten a quagmuffin, especially when Sam stood nearby, expectantly waiting for Bob to say something good.
