    I’m pretty sure Dana just made “bliznoferous” up from the top of her head, but for the fun of it, I went looking for any possible roots that could make said word. Found the English suffix “-ferous” which means “producing or containing the specified material,” and the Polish vocative of “blizno” which means “scar”. Thus, we could say “bliznoferous” means “producing or containing a scar” (I like “producing a scar” best, personally.)

    If we assume Marigold is using the word to refer that the misuse of word-invention would be “scarring” to language, the word is actually somewhat fitting. Imagine that! :D

    I think “bliznoferous” is a highly cromulent word.

    So a unicorn was actually responsible for “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”?

    “Cromulent” is a joke word from “The Simpsons”. It’s found in the phrase “perfectly cromulent word”, and the joke is that there’s actually no such word as “cromulent”—at least, not outside of Springfield. You can look it up in Wikipedia.
