Slowling.  I was highly tempted to go back and correct that when I just saw it in my previous post about my shoulder slowing me down, but then I decided I like ’slowling’.  It is one of those typos that writers make and then sit back and go “Oh… I like that!”  A word that is scribbled down to be remembered for future use.  Only those who love words seem to have this fetish.  An impulsive need to collect words to themselves and tuck even the malformed ones that came out as a typo away for potential use in a novel.

Maybe someone will be talking and accidentally say something is slowling, sparking a moment of humor.   Maybe it will be used as part of an accent I will create one day - I say Warshington after all, why can’t someone say slowling?
