What does a slubberdegullion frobnicate?
(We could build this sentence up as in a game maybe using hogwash words.)

I have vague recollection of the word slubberdegullion in a childrens story I used to love, Avy.
I have looked for it on internet, but not remembering the title, its been a difficult search.
From memory, the story was about a girl who had gold (maybe) coins, spilling from her mouth when ever she opened it and (maybe her sister) who wasn't so nice...when she opened her mouth, foul word spilled forth....like slubberdegullion etc. I wish I could find it again!

yes, not a foul word at all; but a very useful word, withal.
I'm thinking more along the lines of..
paradiorthosis
obs. rare a false correction

I am sorry to have mentioned it if is a foul word. It just sounds nice. The slubberdegullion is a frog of a pale non identifiable color. Not foul, but not fair either. paradiorthosis: obs. rare a false correctionThis must be about dental corrections, when something goes terribly wrong.
