Reply:Any word with the letter %26#039;k%26#039; in it is whimsical and comic. The word becomes immediately funny and/or whimsical. Other words that are whimsical without a %26#039;k%26#039; include %26#039;serendipity%26#039; and %26#039;bellylicious%26#039; (which is the title of a popular bellydance music CD).





Create whimsical words BY COMBINING TWO DIFFERENT WORD PARTS that are familiar in meaning even though only part of each word is used to form a new third word. Example of whimsical words made in this fashion are %26quot;blackalicious%26quot;, %26quot;bellylicious%26quot; and %26quot;blacula%26quot; (the name of a popular vampire movie) combining the familiar parts of the words %26#039;belly%26#039; or %26#039;black%26#039; with the word, %26#039;delicious%26#039; or %26#039;dracula%26#039;. You can use words which signify or define whimsy also such as %26#039;serendipity%26#039; or %26#039;fairyrings%26#039; and other elfin garden expressions.

Reply:%26#039;Narcissus%26#039;, see the legend, first.





%26quot;Ode a la Mode%26quot; (a title of one of my poems, but use it if you want).





%26#039;Floral Fantasy%26#039;, alliteration but works for most people to remember it.





Floral Fancy, Fantasty, Au Naturelle, maybe some sparks flew. ciao.
