"'Precipice Writings' & Other Relanyms - A Book of Word-Play" by Tom Antonellis © Thick Skin Creations, 2011. All rights reserved. The term 'relanym' is a copywritten and trademark-pending entity.
A relanym is an odd or whimsical word or phrase derived from a common word or phrase.
Crafting one involves adjusting each portion of the word or phrase by replacing it with either a synonym, an antonym or some such related word -- a word that would fall under the same category as the original.
rela- : prefix invoking “relative” or “related”
-nym : a word suffix
