Here's to inspiration striking in the oddest ways. Very cute story. And Starlight's poor couch. n_n
How did that inspire you to write this story?
I do relate to the most unusual of inspirations. Quite the little story here! Very nice.
"Salicing" seems kind of like "Salix", the latin name for willow trees... The obvious thing to do is quietly add the word as fake dictionary entries online, with etymology explaining that it means to lie limply, like the branches of a willow. until nobody remembers where the word actually came from. It's seamless.

I can't believe there's actually a somewhat reasonable etymological rationalization of this non-verb. Between this and Elementary, My Dear Starlight, Trixie's inadvertent brilliance continues to astound me. :P

I made the typo in very similar context to how it first appears in this story, in an AI roleplay with Starlight and Trixie. The typo was so funny to me, I had to screencap it and post it on Discord. A friend said something about accidentally creating new words and that got me thinking: What if a completely new word just appeared in the middle of a story and the characters got so distracted by it that it derailed the whole thing? So basically I dropped what I was doing and started writing that idea.
It ended up being pretty short since Starlight shutting down Trixie's impossible money-making scheme was the realistic way to go and I didn't plan on it being anything more than a shitpost I wrote in a couple hours, but I have a bigger sequel in mind I want to write where Trixie spreads her word around anyway just for clout and it sets off some kind of chain reaction that ends up driving Twilight mad. That's basically all I have in mind for it right now though, so we'll see.
of course you can make people pay for using a word you made up.
that is the whole stupid point of trademarking.
you think something up, you trademark it, now everybody else has
to pay if they want to use it.
wether or not you can enforce it, that is someting else entirely . .
but just look at what kind of asshole shit all of the major corpos
have done with WORDS THEY CONSIDER TO BELONG TO THEM!
Disney is going so far that you can not draw 3 circles in a specific
manner without them claiming it is infringing on their trademark
of mickey mouse!
apple sued kitchen gadget makers because they used the iSomething.
Games Workshop tried to sue somebody for using the Term
SPACE MARINE in a Novel they wrote!
