Godwottery is an interesting word. I don't think I can slip it into a conversation though.

I have never read one of Sandra’s books, but I wonder whether she is given to godwottery. If she is, then that’s a good reason not to go there, and I am sure she wouldn’t want that. Simplicity trumps godwottery I would say. As for jellyfish eating dinosaurs can you imagine the tentacles of those that dined on T-Rex. That might justify godwottery even!

Birgit said...

Yes! I knew about the jellyfish…I have no idea why it makes me giddy with delight when I know something you write bout here:)
Oh, the weird neighbours at the end of the street place so much kitsch on their front garden at Christmas that it is godwottery. Is that a sentence?

Clueless once again!

Good fact!

Jeanie said...

I do not know that, but when you think about it, it's not surprising.

Sandra Cox said...

Jeanie, I got to admit, I was a tad surprised. You did good not to be:)

Never heard Godwottery before. I was going to make a comment about Jellyfish and Republicans not having a spine, but I won't ;)

Happy midweek.

All the best Jan

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, It would definitely be a challenge:)

Another fun word, Sandra :) I didn't know but doesn't surprise me! Xo

Sandra Cox said...

Denise, Glad you like Godwottery. Your writing isn't:)
I probably shouldn't have been, but I was surprised about the jellies:) xo

Sandra Cox said...

Good on you for knowing about jellyfish, Hils.
I doubt if most will miss the word godwottery:) I admit, I do have a weakness for old and different words:) Cheers,

Sandra Cox said...

David, You are just going to have to find out for yourself about whether I'm given to godwottery or not:)

Sandra Cox said...

Birgit, You are so funny:)
I like your godwottery sentence:)
Hope you are feeling well.
