Radio contest

Radio Contest A Cork Radio Station (in Ireland), was running a competition to find
contestants who could come up with words that were not found in any
English dictionary yet could still use these words in a sentence that
would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali for a week. The
DJ, Neil, had many callers; the following two standing out:

DJ: 96FM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi, my name's Dave.
DJ: Dave, what's your word?
Caller: Goan, spelt G O A N, pronounced "go-an".
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Dave, Goan
is certainly a word not found in the English dictionary. Now the next
question, for a trip to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in
that would make logical sense?
Caller: Goan fuck yourself!

At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that there is
no place for that sort of language on a family show. After many more
unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following caller:

DJ: 96FM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi, my name's Jeff.
DJ: Jeff, what's your word?
Caller: Smee, spelt S M E E, pronounced "smee".
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct, Jeff, Smee
is certainly a word not found in the English dictionary. Now the next
question, for a trip to Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in
that would make logical sense?
Caller: Smee again! Goan fuck yourself!
