For fun, I decided to do a blogpost each week highlighting a word or expression from the deMeng'd Dictionary.
This week you get two words. Let's start off with the word that every student of mine should know:
uszhhh!!! (yoozh)
noun
A color combination of Qunacridone Gold and Black used to give an illusion of antiquity. Called the uszhhh!!! because it is what Michael deMeng "usually" uses.
verb
the act of antiquing a piece of art using Michael deMeng's favorite paint recipe: I must uszhhh this toy squid to make it look old.
And here is a bonus word for the week
floo·ey (floo-ee)
adj. floo·i·er, floo·i·est
The physical characteristic of paint or glue in which the consistency lies somewhere between fluid and gooey: flooey glue

what a great idea! and we can fondly remember your classes when reading.
Sure hope you'll have "suckiupiness" in there, it's a classic!
yes surrr- e - bob! this is classic!
Aha! flooey obviously related to flu-ey, being the (similar) consistency of nasal-uzzzh ( a combination of quinacridone gold, and Pthalo turquoise with a little black)
Will look forward to future nonsensical words.Fun!
