With the advent of Corona we found many new and unique words were conceived, coronafied , jumblify, dumbsy, etc. So in our famous SundayShots contest we asked our writers to share their creativity by creating a new word with their meaning. The contest not only turned out to be hilarious with the discovery of funny words but it also garnered lot of attention and appreciation from the writers as they kept on pouring their creativity and gave us a pool of new words which might be an entry into Oxford dictionary.
So let’s open Storyscrapers’ COVID dictionary written by its proficient writers.
