I reckon the first two are worth around £25,000, the others £10,000 if you are lucky.

All you need to do now is discover a cure for baldness and you'll be quids in.

My question is, am I able to sell these words? If so who to and is there a going rate for words of this calibre?

I've seen several episodes of Dragons Den and so as a fully qualified business expert I can tell you you're having a laugh. Without a proper patent anybody with a lingustic factory can switch a couple of the letters round and knock them out for pennies. I mean, look at caliber. Do you think they made any money?

You've got a fine little family business making artisan words on the kitchen table, but it'll never scale, and so I'm out.

Yup, that and "Flangina" already exist.

That is just a development/derivation of the slang term "flange", so cannot be regardedint he same league as mine.

Did you create the word regardedint? You should sell that one. Looks like you also invented a new way of using the word he, so best put a fgsrdt (my new word for price £50 if you want it) on it.

He's still trying to invent a word that doesn't make people sound like they are missing a few brain cells, something maybe like "is"

No offence intended

Describes female genitalia.

Bit late to the party on this one, pal.

Yup, that and "Flangina" already exist.

What with "Flange" being a PH favourite, I'm not surpised

I work for the Oxford English Dictionary. If you want to have your words included into the next publication you can certainly make an official application. All you need to do is send us a down payment of £500 per letter. If your application is successful we will return your deposit plus £1000 per letter. Obviously you will know whether your word has been selected when you purchase the 2019 Oxford English Dictionary. As a general piece of advice the longer the word is the more likely of inclusion into the next publication.

Stop it. I’ve made nothing out of these words despite me having a mate who said I was into a winner.

Think about me for once, I want to buy things with the money I will get from these new words.
