Feel free.
As an exercise in radio stuff, a friend of mine and I play "Syllable".
The idea is to come up with 'unique' single syllable words that are not
'standard English', with no more than a 2-second pause.
We're up to about 240 "words" before one of us forms a two-syllable, or a
word that has a meaning.
Comes in handy in ad-lib, when you need a fake 'name'..."Drive a 1998
arge!"
"Nerb!", on the other hand, comes from Frank Kelley Freas, who drew it into
the original artwork attached to the original publication of Christopher
Anvil's "Pandora's Planet" in ASTOUNDING magazine...serialized in three(?)
issues, it appeared in the second installment. It was an "alert signal"
inside the invader's spacecraft. I would suggest the full-novel version of
PANDORA'S PLANET,
