Jabberwocky
Yes, this is more or less completely random. I don’t care.
Jabberwocky, for those who don’t know, is a poem that Alice encounters in Through the Looking Glass. I never read that book, but I’ve always been interested in this poem—probably because I’d hear my father recite lines from it from time to time. It seems he had to memorize it in school for some reason and still remembers it.
The poem is full of neologisms or “made up” words. However, somehow you still get a meaning from the poem. It’s very neat that way. Plus, it just sounds cool!

So that’s where my +2 vorpal sword came from. Most interesting.
