Car Talk (not the radio show)

You grab your groceries, pocket your keys, and head for the larder, but your car still has something to say! Tink, tunk, donk, whatever. So, what exactly do we call those noises? Time to put on your thinking hubcap.

Want to play? The rules are as follows: Each week we will post an obscure concept or item and ask for a new word to describe it. Entries can be single or multiple words, but must be totally made up, as in NOT found in the dictionary. The winner each week will receive (via snail mail) an autographed copy of WordPlay Cafe (you've seen the blog, now read the book!). All submissions become the property of WordPlay Cafe and should be submitted to wordplay@dogfoose.com with the word ENTRY in the subject line, or simply post a comment with your answer. Deadline is noon, Friday, EST. In the event of duplicate answers, "first in" wins. Your email information will not be shared with anyone. Above all, have fun, be creative, and enter as often as you like.
