I've got a sci-fi novel set about 100 years into the future and found myself tyring to come up with words or phrases that might be used in that time frame.
Have you found yourself inventing a new language? List some of your new-found creations.
Slort--(cross between a slut and whore)
Glidewalk--(a moving sidewalk)
Credit stick--(a metal probe that takes function of credit card)
Puzzel that!--(well, I'll be damned)
Citizen Patriots--(the general populace)
People--(upper poverty class)
Proceed with your affairs--(carry on)
Foam dome--(cheap housing)
Teenonsters (bad teenagers)
The United Western Enterprize (U.S, Canada, central America and South America)
The Eastern Allegience--(All other countries and continents)
Landcruncher, Chummer model--(off-road vehicle)
Snarzler--(a bad dog, gee, wonder where I got that one?)
Nano-licker--(a device for instantly testing DNA, BAC and meds)
Holo-pad--(3-D T.V. boy, this needs changing)
Rally sled--(sports car)
Highscrapers--(sky scrapers)
I had a terrible urge to steal from Demolition Man, Blade Runner, Mad Max Beyong Thunderdome, and a myraid of other books and films. And I'm still running into problems finding ordiscoveing new names for today's products like, Kevlar, helicopters or (hovering type vehicles), agency names, building design and many others.
Care to list some of your creations? How innovative can you get?
