The Scrambled Vocabulary! Where jumbled errors make sense! All these words have been said in actual conversation. Join in the fun!
NEXCELLENT = NICE + EXCELLENT
My grandson and I were spending time playing a video game. We discovered an area of treasure that required mining. He took on the task and when completed said:
"I cleared all the pieces!"
To which I replied:
"Nexcellent!"
Now on to the next discovery!

PACEFUL = PATIENT + PEACEFUL
My grandson was playing his favorite video game. He came upon a village and decided to check it out. He entered a villager's house to look around. After leaving, he said:
"The villager was so paceful while waiting for me to leave."
The adventure continues.

REPARTMENT = REPORT + DEPARTMENT
Swuvie was listening to a podcast that she found particularly interesting. To make sure the information presented was accurate, the podcaster wanted to read from the police department report and said:
"We need to take a look at the police repartment."
No fake news here.👍

REMEMBERIZED = REMEMBER + MEMORIZED
I have been playing a particular video game for a couple of months. I play using my laptop keyboard and touchpad. I decided to add a mouse for an enhanced gaming experience. This required reassignment of certain actions/commands as well as memorization of those reassigned. I went down the list of commands starting with the "emote" button and said:
"The emote button is "E". I rememberized that."
Adding the mouse for forward movement of my character, looking around, striking/attacking and quicker movement in the hot bar has made my playing more effective. Definitely a good decision.

CHALM DOWT = CALM DOWN + CHILL OUT
Swuvie was getting ready to feed the cats. They do love meal time. Two of the cats were acting up when they came inside to eat and Swuvie said:
"Geez! Rambo, Lycan chalm dowt!"
Chow down, kitties! 😆

NEX = NICE + EXCELLENT
My video game character was following my grandson's character as we explored a cave. We came across a desirable ore to be mined but it was difficult to reach. My grandson created a tall pedestal beneath his character and was able to mine the ore successfully. I applauded his accomplishment and said:
So much more to explore!
~Scrabulary Chris 😃
BROCK = BRICK + BLOCK
Continuing in the spirit of the video game marathon with my grandson, another Scrabulary word made its appearance. While exploring a cave in the game, we got into a tight spot. Trying to figure a way across a deep ravine, I said:
"You can make a walkway starting here. The water is only one brock deep."
Successfully across, we continued our exploration.
Great fun!

SLUNCHED = SLOUCHED + HUNCHED
My daughter and son-in-law took a trip for a couple of days. They had a long drive to their destination. My daughter told me that after a few hours of driving, she had to adjust her posture in the seat. She said:
"I had to sit up straight because I felt so slunched."
All in all, nice to get away.
~Scrabulary Chris :D
IFAGINE = I IMAGINE + I FIGURE
I was starting to play a board game with my grandson. He wasn't sure he remembered how to play. I said:
"Ifagine you will remember quickly."
It only took him a couple of minutes before things clicked.
Board game fun!
~Scrabulary Chris :D
NIMBERLE = NIMBLE + LIMBER
(Pronounced: nim-ber-uhl)
My grandson and I were sitting in separate chairs in front of the computer. He was showing me how to play a computer game that he enjoys. I slid my chair back as I got up but was unaware he had set his leg behind my chair. His leg stretched back and he said "Wait, my leg!" I stopped immediately. He pulled his leg in unharmed. I said:
"Good thing you are nimberle".
