Cork Radio Station (in Ireland), 96 FM, was 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 was a trip to Bali for a week. The DJ, Neil, had many callers; the following two standing out: DJ: 96FM, what's your name? Caller: Hi, me name's Dave. DJ: Dave, what is your word? Caller: Goan, spelt G O A N, pronounced "go-an" DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Dave, "goan" 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: Goan f#*# yourself! 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: 96FM, what's your name? Caller: Hi, me name's Jeff. DJ: Jeff, what is your word? Caller: Smee, spelt S M E E, pronounced "smee". DJ: We are 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! Goan f#*# yourself!
