Geocache Description:




Cremplications is a word you will find in the book The Meaning of Liff. The book is a "dictionary of things that there aren't any words for yet". Rather than inventing new words, the authors picked a number of existing place-names and assigned interesting meanings to them, meanings that can be regarded as on the verge of social existence and ready to become recognisable entities. All the words listed are toponyms and describe common feelings and objects for which there is no current English word.
Examples are:

Cremplications - The results of attempting to communicate in a foreign language one has not learned yet.
Plymouth - To relate an amusing story to someone without remembering that it was they who told it to you in the first place.
Snughlin - A fluffy garment that looks cosy when ordered from the internet but turns out to be made from nylon insulation.
Physion - A subatomic particle found in branding consultants.
Eworthy - of a person : worth emailing but nor worth phoning or meeting.
Duddo - The most deformed potato in any given collection of potatoes.
