Punmensional and other clown neologisms... why not?

[Paboberto]

So we all know we have that long list of circus clown words right? But how many of us here are have been or want to be circus clowns? (ooo! OOO! Pick me!) Some are but most aren't. Right?

Okay, so here we are, on the clown-forum trying to explain stuff we do to each other and then others giving advice, but unfortunately we lack a real language for it and have to use clumsy terms like "walk-around gag" or have to carefully describe what kind of clown we are such as "I am a clown that wants to be in circus but has no training and doesn't particularly want to be a hometown clown." Wouldn't it be great if we had one word for that? What do we call people who pretend being scared of clowns? What do we call badly written and/or slanderous clown characters in movies?

I think it would be fun to make up more clown lingo and start using it in the forum. Who knows it might catch on.

So post your words and definitions, and then use them in a sentence.

My first one is:
Punmensional: adj The unit of level a pun or set of puns works on. Each level equals one "punmension."
ex
"This sentence is not too pun dimensional, just two punmensional.

This reminds me of a bit by the one and only Great Dane himself, Mr. Victor Borge.\

Don't know if this is what you are referring to, but a non-clown friend (yes, I have real friends) made up this word & left me a message on myspace the other week - she said have a CLOWNTASTIC weekend! I thought it was great, so I've adopted it.
