A Queensland Radio Station, QFM, were running a competition to find
contestants who could come up with words that were not found in any English
Dictionary yet could still use these words in a sentence that would make
logical sense; the prize being a return trip for two to Bali for a week.
The DJ, Sam, had many callers, the following two standing out:
DJ : QFM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi, me name's Dave.
DJ: Dave, what is your word?
Caller: "Gaan" spelt G, A, A, N.
DJ: We are just checking that (pause)... and you are correct Dave,
Gaan is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now
the next question, for a trip for two to Bali, is: What sentence
can you use that in that would make logical sense?
Caller: Gaan f*ck yourself! Ha Ha Ha!
At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that there is no
place for that sort of language on a family show.
After many more unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following caller:
DJ: QFM, what's your name?
Caller: Me name's Jeff.
DJ: Jeff, what is your word?
Caller: "Smee" spelt S, M, E, E.
DJ: We are just checking that (pause)... and you are correct Jeff,
Smee is certainly a word not found in the English Dictionary. Now
the next question, for a trip for two to Bali, is: What sentence
can you use that in that would make logical sense?
Caller: Smee again! Gaan F*ck yourself! Ha Ha Ha!
