    My conlang-@-large creolego aims to do just that - plus it "cannibalizes"
and "phagocytates" other languages as well.
    Ferinstanz, I just recently added "lol" - the Dutch word for "fun" and
cyberslang for LOL - to creolego as its word for "highly amusing fun, usually
accompanied by loud laughter." (Dank, Nederlanderen ::zwaaien::)

    I guess creolego will have several semantic degrees of "fun" at this rate
;)
Not a bad thing if ya ask me... *googolgigglabyte/googolgelachbijte*
