I think Ann Parsons was the first to use it, so maybe she can answer.
When I read it I just assumed it was a made up word. Is there a word for
made up words?

My vocabulary has failed me. When I was in school every time I took one of
those standardized tests I would always land in the very highest
percentile
on the vocabulary section. I am always hearing people tell me that I use
big
words. All this has led me to be pretty confident of my vocabulary.
However,
in just the last couple of days I have seen a word in a couple of emails
that I was unfamiliar with, klooge. From context I surmise that it means a
work-around. Since this is the second time I have encountered it, though,
I
thought I would google it. I used the Google define feature. In both
emails
in which it occurred I note that it is spelled in two different ways. One
spelling is k l u g e. The other spelling is k l o o g e. I googled both
and
for the first I got a definition stating that it is a clever or wise man.
I
got no definition for the second spelling. Since even the first definition
does not seem to have anything to do with the contexts in which I came
across it I think it might be slang. I am intrigued though. Can someone
let
me know what the correct spelling actually is and what its origin might be
and exactly what it means?

I was able to retrieve my file by going to Wordpad on my PC and opening
the file I'd copied from the BN, then re-saving it under a different name.
Klooge! But at least I have my work.
I'd still like to know why Word won't open the file directly, though.

Hi all,
Use the file manager menu, check to see what kind of file it is.
Suspect it got saved as a Keyword document. If so, go to file manager,
then translate and then choose RTF if they have it or doc. That will
be OK. You can always save it from Word as an RTF.
