Word of the Day: Macaronic

[Capt Lightning]

Macaronic - incorporating words from different languages into a piece of text - often as a pun or for humorous / satirical effect.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I think of macaronic as macaroni salad, only related to words.

 

[Kaila]

I couldn't come up with a sentence to use this word, macaronic;
however, it reminded me of the old silly song, with the line, "he stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni!"

Perhaps he should have called it macaronic?

 

[Capt Lightning]

An example of Macaronic verse using some French ..

My auntie Michelle is big in the BON
(As well as the hip and the thigh).
And when she exhales, OUI haul out our sails
And ride on the wind of VERSAILLES.

Macaronic is not a word meaning something made from Pasta and cheese...
