Why this word is great
CODDIWOMPLE — [Verb] To travel purposefully toward an as-yet-unknown destination. Etymology: Unknown. Probably coined in the late 2010s as English slang. Unlike "wander" (which implies aimless drifting) or "navigate" (which demands a plotted course), "coddiwomple" is the art of moving with conviction into the unscripted. It is the backpacker boarding a train without checking the timetable, the poet setting out at dawn with no route in mind, or the entrepreneur chasing an idea before knowing its shape—each step a declaration of faith in the journey itself, not the map. A quiet rebellion against the tyranny of itineraries.
verb
- To travel purposefully to an undetermined location.“Like seachrán, it can be used in the physical sense of going for a walk or in a more abstract sense – I am coddiwompling my way through life.”
