Invent-a-word!

Flarnf

It is a word used extensively in our home. It is a noun, verb, and adjective.

Basically, "flarnf" is the sound our old cat made as she was eating wet catfood.

Noun: we need to feed the cat her flarnf

Verb: the pot is boiling over and flarnfing all over the stovetop

Adj: i don't want to touch raw meat because it's all flarnfy

Prounounced flar-niff

Splarf/splarfing/splarfy are variations of flarnf, when we need a word that describes things that are even gooeyer than flarnf.
