Neil Krieger, who died of Covid, coined #orbisculate to describe when a citrus fruit squirts in your eye. Please join our quest to get it into the dictionary!

We are delighted to share a conversation that a dedicated member of Orbisculation Nation recently had with Google’s Gemini Chatbot! For anonymity’s sake, we are using “Nate” as an alias!
Gemini: That’s a great question! While I, as an AI, can’t directly campaign in the same way a human organization can, I can certainly contribute to raising awareness of “orbisculate.” I can provide clear and accurate information about its origin, meaning, and the campaign.
Have you heard about the @readersdigest “Orbisculate Challenge”? Originated by seniors from Connecticut, this delightful word game invites you to find as many words as possible using the letters of “orbisculate”! Are you up for the challenge?! Give it a shot and let us know!🍋
Guess what? We've got another orbisculate poem for you, kindly submitted by Marvin N. Robbins! Thanks a lot for this masterpiece, Marvin! 🍊🍋
Send us your poems to [email protected] & be featured on our social media! You can help us continue the Nate saga, or come up with something completely new! It's all fair game, as long as you use the word "orbisculate" in your pieces! We can't wait to see what you create!
Here's a limerick shared by the "Three Orbisculophiles":
“I’ll have a Corona,” said Nate,
Who, without a forethought of his fate,
Then squeezed a lime wedge
To de-skunk the beer’s edge
And got juiced as the pulp did orbisculate.
Moral of the story: don't be like Nate 🥲🍋🍺
Of course, we simply HAD to reply with a little limerick of our own 🤩:
Sorry to hear about Nate's lime,
We are still delighted with your rhyme!
Thank you for supporting Orbisculate,
And for the enthusiasm of Nate!
Please continue using the word this summertime.
🤣🍋🏖️
Here's your reminder to watch out for orbisculation when making orange juice or interacting with citrus this summer! Thank you so much to the talented Catherine Adler (@CathyCollinsAdler on FB) for creating such wonderful artworks to help spread the word!!! You rock Cathy!!! 🍊
