Recently I heard an unfarmilar word from The Strawberry Roan.(Marty Robbins) I think he coined the word. HAs anyone else heard a coined word in a song or a book?

and I noticed an unfarmiliar word in The Strawberry Roan.

Please don't leave us hanging, jimthedogII, what was the mystery word? One of my favourite coined words from a book would have to be frumious, since you asked.

I should of known country singers are to stupid to coin words. Well it's hard to tell what he's saying in that part.

a humorus book about a dog, but as usual the publishers wouldn't accept it.
-------------------------------------------------------
it seems to me that humorous books can be read without a laugh by the serious minded with little sense of humor.
One dog book I read -- by Jacqueline Suzanne before she became famous for Valley of Dolls -- was the story of her life with her mini French Poodle ... my husband and I were falling off the chair laughing... "Every Night Josephine." It helped that we had a mini French Poodle, Miss Merry Mod, Mod for short. However a lady I know missed it completely.
Anyone else read it?
wow
