About Jabberwocky

Jabberwocky is a noun, naming any type of made-up language or nonsense words. It’s also a proper noun, as the title of Lewis Carroll’s 1871 poem, and it can be used as an adjective to describe something meaningless or senseless.

 The poem is full of fantastical language, including bandersnatch, fruminous, mimsy, and snicker-snack. Some words (chortle and galumphing) became so popular that they gained the status of “real” words.
