Some of my friends have done this, to great effect. I'd really like to do it too - I'm in the mood for inventing something equally quirky and witty for myself.

ETA: I have the answer! And [livejournal.com profile] theregoesyamum has supplied it! And it was really, really easy! It turned out to be sooooo easy that I was tempted to delete the whole question. But I decided to leave it, so that passers by could point and laugh.

Glad it's not as bad as it first seemed. Keep an eye on it though.

And thanks for the attempts to make me feel less silly...
