Is enough a synonym of brillig?

Answer 1

Brillig is a word created by Lewis Carroll for his poem Jabberwocky. He defined it as "four o'clock in the afternoon -- the time when you begin broiling things for dinner."

But the words in Jabberwocky are fluid - for some of them Carroll changed the definition and some aren't defined at all. What really matters is what the word means to you, as a reader - if you want the word 'brillig' to be a synonym of 'enough', then it is.

`When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'

No, "brillig" is not a synonym for "enough." "Brillig" is a nonsense word coined by Lewis Carroll in his poem "Jabberwocky." It does not have a specific meaning.
