The Shrake-tionary

STORYSTER^sms

(noun)

1. Since Apple owns the trademark on “storyist,” I will Shrakemark this word instead as a shorter name for storyteller, which latter is a dumb word. “Storyteller,” to me, always calls to mind a plump middle-aged woman in a long dress encircled by children sitting Indian style. This new Shrakeism is much cooler. (P.S. I reserve the right to use “storyist,” too, if I want.)
