So I was reading @galenkp's post about making up a word and I thought why not have a go at this? So challenge accepted!
I am not the most creative person out there, and neither do I have an exceptional command of English, so relfy is the word that I have made up!
If you am sharp enough, you probably realise relfy bears a close resemblance to my nickname of Hive, and yes, it's derived from there.
Relf is actually an nickname that I coined for myself when I was very young. It came about because when I was a kid, I liked to be on all fours wandering on the floor around the house. You probably think, all toddlers are on all fours anyway, so what's so special? For me I think this continued until I was slightly older, even when I am capable of walking by myself.
I actually got the "inspiration" from pet dogs - and I thought it was kinda fun and cute to be like one. So as I scrambled on all fours from place to place, I would make dog-like barks and sounds, and one of them sounded like "Relf!* (You probably need to imagine haha)
It left such a deep impression with me until when the Internet era came along we all needed to have userids/usernames to register for email accounts, games, etc, "relf" would be first choice (if it wasn't taken).
So fast forward, what does relfy mean? I have some possible suggestions.
Acting or behaving like a dog or perhaps, puppy
E.g. The manner which John chews on the wing and licks the bone is so relfy.Full of fun and jokes
E.g. The birthday party was such a blast - the games were so relfy!
So that's all I have for this mini challenge! Welcome any comments too!
Here's leaving you with a dog photo - this is supposed to be Hachiko, which is the famous dog at Shibuya, Tokyo!
