Lord knows this has probably been done at least a dozen times before I started visiting the org, but there was a time when Prince was quite the little (literally) wordsmith.

Hondalacidia, Sooliacoolia, Superfunkicalifragisexy and Wreckasto are all words that we all seem to be somewhat familiar with. Can you think of any other "Prince-speak" words that you think should be included in a Prince Dictionary?

Shock-a-locka... Boom!

Acu-jack (even though it isn't a Prince original)

Endorphinmachine

Fam

Hellovisions

Lovesexy

Polyvinylacetate

Scagazines

Whosepapers

A typhoon was just a wave 'till Prince...

Shockadelica

Shockadelica was lifted from Jesse Johnson, wasn't it?

Yes - I think the story was that Jesse Johnson named his solo album 'Shockadelica', but didn't create a track with the same name. Prince was alleged to have said that he couldn't believe that Jesse had come up with such a great title and not used it for a song, so he did it himself. So I suppose you could say that while Jesse came up with the word, Prince gave it meaning

Good one, Woodenleg!! I forgot about that one!

I think it is a great idea to make a dictionary/lexicon. Not only words, but also dances (see my org name).For every entry there will be a meaning or explanation. I want to collect everything that we can put in this lexicon. So send me an org note if you want to add something.

Well, woodenleg, if you want to add dances, you'd have to add the Horny Pony. Would you include how to do the Horny Pony? "Just like a virgin you've got to ease into it...shake your head like a leaf on a tree"?

Doin'...The Housequake
The Holly Rock (might be a dance, might be a song, might have you rockin' baby all night long.)
