I'm going to repostsubbudge when I come back

I was playing scrabble with my team from Indonesia last summer and we were wondering, "If you can budge, can you unbudge, then rebudge? We deduced that it would be perfectly acceptable to both unbudge (a polite jesture) and rebudge (a redoing of that which was previously rude and unkind). Now suppose you were standing in line on a ladder, would it be possible to unsubbudge, or resubbudge? Personally I don't think we do enough waiting in line on ladders being that these words are unfamiliar and clearly not acceptable with my spell check program. Now lastly, if a man were to budge, then unbudge, then contemplate rebudgeing while on a ladder, which would be resubbudgeing, and he purposefully was going to wait until a certain allotted time which happened after a particular event, would he not technically resubpostbudging? I believe that the inverse would also be accurate if he had decided to preresubbudge.

All this to say, perhaps the scrabble dictionary is not proficient. Furthermore, if anyone could actually play the word preresubunbudging in a scrabble game, it would not only be the coolest thing I can think of, but worthy of far more than 50 points.

  1. What's a subbudge? Am I thick, or just unknowledgable?

  2. Subbudge isn't a legitimate word, but if it was, it would mean to "budge beneath someone" as in the case of latter budging. Also, you are neither thick nor unknowledgable (also not a legitimate word).
