Inflationary Language is a comedic language or language game, originally created by Victor Borge. Take any word or syllable that sounds like a number, and add one to it. Using some of Borge's examples tenderly becomes elevenderly, wonderful becomes twoderful, half sister, becomes one and a half sister, and so on and so forth (or so fifth).
