random lang note: Confluence

by Rick Harrison <not@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 10, 2008 at 09:09 AM

Science fiction writer Brian Aldiss concocted a language that reminds
me of Glaugnea in its strangeness. The concepts that are lexicalized
are not what one is accustomed to:

LAHAH SIP: Tasting fresh air after one has worked several hours at
one's desk.

SHAK ALE MAN: the struggle that takes place in the night between the
urge to urinate and the urge to continue sleeping

Additionally, each word/phrase can have different meanings depending on
the speaker's body posture. 

A few excerpts are posted here ->
