Got that one off a cat food can. (turkey+chicken+duck). What’s for dinner? TURDUCKEN! My classroom fave is “brighting”. When you use lots of colorful words in your writing you’re brighting.

Because of this, all poultry we see have become “chickenducks” (a for sale sign we saw in Fiji) and cattle are “bullamacows” (pidjin from New Guinea).

I have a post coming up for Dr Seuss’s birthday next week, and will add your link, Melissa. LOVE ideas that promote word play!
