Afrodavit
A statement or affirmation to be a naturally unique individual who takes pride in an afro-centric existence.
Heretofore and evermore, today in front, behind, sideways and every which way to the whole wide world, I make my afrodavit. It is an unwritten statement voluntarily made by an affiant or deponent under an oath or affirmation which is administered by a person who is authorized to do so by nobody but her/himself.
Hereafter know as:
testimony
statement
attestation
declaration
avowal
plea
submission
claim
contention
charge
allegation
deposition
representation
asseveration
averment
"Um, Mohania. What in tarnation are you on about now. Afrodavit, did you just make up a word and intend to use it"? Kiki asked her ever evolving in weirdness friend.
"What if I did. How is it different from all the other crazy words which people are always making up and using, as if we all have to accept the silly sounding words as gospel".
"I think the difference is that it is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary or Oxford University Press, and I don't know where else, in order to be credible and accepted". Kiki replied.
"Well, I have officially, on my own behalf coined the word AFRODAVIT, to represent anything concerning my personal decisions and deportment"!
Kiki sighed and rolled her eyes, she adored her friend's quirkiness, it is why they have remained friends for such a long time, never a dull moment.
"Ok, name some of those weird words you mentioned, let's see if you are right".
"Bumfuddled, gobbledygook, fartlek, everywhen, kibitzer and.....".
"Ok, you win. I kinda like afrodavit. Let's start AFRODAVITING".

I did not get my stories entered into the Vocal Writing Awards. Phlurking site wouldn't accept my 'Postal Code'. Thanks, HandsomeLouiiThePoet, for nominating me right from the start. I tried Lonzo, so sorry for the snafu. Thank you very much for the confidence which you placed in me. I really appreciate your kind thoughts and beautiful work on the poetry of life.

That got me thinking. Afrodavit could be connected to Africa, but also to Aphrodite (because of the sound). Davit, hm... interesting 😁
Haha, That’s awesome! It rolls off the tongue so easily. Can’t wait for my chance to use it.💖
I love this. If it communicates clearly it's language, I say! And your word is crystal clear.
I kinda like fartlek, lol! I think it means "chill pill". So we can tell people, "You gotta calm down. Take a fartlek"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lol, I loved your story!
I want to steal this word! Well done!
This is excellent!! Love the word and the way you crafted this micro too!
🤣The made her case 👍👍

So creative, flyy & empowering! Go No Go!😁
Fun and useful, too. I attest, under Italian oath!
Love it! I give it two years before it is officially entered into the lexicon.
This is perfect!!

It SHOULD be in the Dictionary! Well done, Novel!
