RDP Friday: OORIE
A word like oorie does not exist
in the modern lexicon
and trying to use it in a writing prompt is a challenge.
Just a note on that:
To someone who is just learning English with words and phrases
currently housed in Merriam Webster
they truly do feel your pain.
So chin up, have fun with new words and old words, they are not written in stone.
Well, they used to be- but I digress.
My point is, don’t be afraid to breathe life into old and new words.
I watched my some of my friends and family as they learned English and one of their
favorite things to do was to say words and phrases in Southern accents. The heavier
the better.
To this day I can’t hear someone say, ” How are you today ” without hearing it in a
heavy West Texas accent by by someone who only spoke Persian or German ( you get
the point ) for the first largest part of their life.
So don’t let knew unfamiliar words make you feel oorie, have fun with them and
even at them.
