Brand New Words!

The following words did not exist until I made them up. You’re welcome!

1. Flambertoast (n): Toast spread generously with flamberjam
2. Flamberjam (n): A sweet spread made of crushed flamberberries
3. Flamberberry (n): The fruit of the flamberbush
4. Flamberbush (n): The deciduous plant that produces the edible, and slightly radioactive, flamberberry

This takes up a bit of time, sine I kan’t just hit Kommand-SEE to kopy.
