Danksta Downunder delights in the latest delivery from the neological-natal clinic – that is, the birthing centre for new words that have just been born into the living language.

The new word is “Noosafy” and a very active young verb it is indeed.

Even though we're not quite sure who fathered and/or mothered the word Noosafy, this latest local neologism was quickly and readily adopted by the Daily for common usage early in 2008.

“Noosafy” – what does it really mean?

On first impression, it implies some process that is transformative and way-of-life altering.

So it could belong in the beauty, health and wellbeing category, and it could be related to words like deportment and posture. Then again, it could also have the connotation of being a poseur.

So, it could be said that “he wants to noosafy her” – unless she takes the initiative!

There seems to be a more menacing enunciation when you start using expressions like "You can all go and get Noosafied!" or "Noosafy yourself!"

Is the noun for this "Noosafication"? Is it painful? Just what does this really entail?

Has anyone already been Noosafied? What's it like?

Would you care to tell us all about it?

I wouldn't mind knowing why it seems to rhyme with “crucified”. Indeed, quite a few Noosanauts feel that has already happened to their local council.

However, the punishment of “Noosafixion” is not to be confused with the equally punishing genre of “Noosafiction”, of which there are plenty of scurrilous and surplus stories to be told, once the current defamation laws have been reformed.

Nor is “Noosafixion” to be confused with the pernicious condition of “Noosafixation”, the symptoms of which are obsessive/compulsive attempts to use the Noosa or the N-word in as many different ways as possible, to the detriment and deprivation of the rest of the English language.

Anyway, with the elections for the Sunshine Coast super-council bearing down on us, we are sure to see the N-word bandied about during the campaign.

Indeed, Noosa claims to be a Hamlet asking the voters: "To Noosafy or not to Noosafy? That is the question. Whether tis the slings and arrows of outrageous forced merger … et cetera et cetera?"

What nobody knows is who intends to Noosafy whom – Noosafier to Noosafiee, so to speak!

Danksta Downunder departs for the moment with one more question for you: How come so many Facebook people from Saudi Arabia have Noosa as a first name?

Hamish has two MySpace websites. On one he writes about poetry, writing, music and other interests such as performing, reading, history and archaeology link to site, while the other focuses on amalgamation and other local issues link to site.
