Time to put a Cork in it!

A Cork radio station was running a competition – words that weren’t in the dictionary yet could still be used in a sentence that would make logical sense.

The Prize was a trip to Bali.

DJ: “96FM, what’s your name?”
Caller: ” Hi, me name’s Dave.”
DJ: “Dave, what’s your word?”
Caller: “Goan… spelt G-O-A-N pronounced ‘go-an’.”
DJ: “… You are correct, Dave, ‘goan’ is not in the dictionary. Now for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?”
Caller: “Goan f**k yourself!”

The DJ cut the caller short took other calls, all unsuccessful until:

DJ: “96FM, what’s your name?”
Caller: “Hi, me name’s Jeff.”
DJ: “Jeff, what’s your word?”
Caller: “Smee… spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced ‘smee’.”
DJ: “… You are correct, Jeff, ‘smee’ is not in the dictionary. Now for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?”
Caller: “Smee again! Goan f**k yourself!”

Classic!
