Any suggestions from the gang as to what the made-up words might/could mean?
Mollicking = digging for clams?

Worple = like a dimple, or a pimple, but can't quite evolve the idea. Would also make a good animal name... suggests something small, anyway

Sorry, all my definitions tend toward biology...

Hm. Interesting take on "worple." I keep getting an inexperienced, affectionate and somewhat embarrassing sentiment on that one. Like a doe-eyed young man gazing longingly into an older woman's eyes and saying, "I worple you," and the older woman freaking-out because his affection is the very last thing she needs or wants.

"Mollicking" is more clear to me. It's standing on a balcony at the New Orleans Mardi Gras and looking down at the crowd on Bourbon Street mollicking about. Key element is a distance of height above a large group of (fill in the blank) moving and jostling around in haphazard ways.

It's not exactly right, but it's so cute I'll post it anyway: My little sister calls more than 1 sheep (plural) 'shoop'. A herd of shoop.
I think it's too cute. I'm busy thinking of a good neoligism...

That's cute. Upon first seing live flamingos when he was three, my son said, "Oooo. Pink Mingos."
