Socceresque
Obscure nelogism, dicdef NeilN 03:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Could never be more than a dicdef. Quale 04:26, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The concept of being "almost as beautiful as soccer" is close enough to succeeding in acheiving the meaningless ness of "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" without having any of the significance of Chomsky's sentence.  This is a neologism, but worse: the -def part of this dicdef is hardly something encyclopedic.  Not to mention it's the sort of neologism some people (myself included) make up twenty-dozen times a day because we like tacking  derivational morphemes onto words to create our own words instead of using everybody else's.  And not one such word (socceresque, ironage, stenchify, etceterize, etc.) is deserving of a Wikipedia article.  The Literate Engineer 05:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
