Reconciling Multiple Definitions

2005-01-08T10:55:00.000-08:00

How do I reconcile these multiple definitions?

What is brunkfast to you? Who owns brunkfast? Who decides on the meaning of words?

I guess that's the brunkfast quandry. And I suspect that brunkfast quandry will be a googlewhack except that brunkfast is not an actual word.

Brunkfast Definitions

from result #1

brunkfast (the meal between breakfast and brunch)

from result #2

brunkfast (first meal of the day, but after noon)

I thought it intersting that both of them had the same convention... the term and then the parenthetical definition. This is merely coincidence, but it shows that those who compose new words have the decency to put up their definitions immediately following for those readers who may have become anxious with the new word.

Brunkfast: The Origin

So this morning I called my sister to tell her that I was about to eat brunkfast but that I needed someone to ask me what brunkfast is.

She obliged with "what is brunkfast." And bless her heart because she was walking through the streets of Boston with her friends on a three or four day visit.

"Brunkfast is a better name for brunch," I said, because that's all the definition I had at the time.

She argued that it's not a better name, and I sort of agreed with her.

For brunkfast this morning I ate a ham and cheese sandwich. I guess it's sort of lunch food for breakfast. I had to check google to see what other people had figured out for it though.
