I always feel bad about rejecting a word suggestion that's years old. But I fear
rampy is below the obscurity threshold.
I appreciate that your father used the word, TRex, but did anyone else ever use it? Actually I did find one example. The Serious Eats website has an
Extra-Rampy Ramp Risotto Recipe. A related post on the same site,
Ramp Week: How To Make The Rampiest Risotto, explains:
The great thing about ramps is that unlike, say, garlic, they can give you all that awesome sweet onion-y flavor without leaving your breath smelling like garlic.
I mean, they do leave your breath smelling like ramps, but that's a much finer, rarer thing to smell like. People will literally* want you to breathe into their face after eating a bowl full of this extra-ramp-y ramp risotto. I've tested it out on both my dogs and have the data to prove it.
*Not literally. Or figuratively, even. They will not want you breathing in their face at all.
But even this ramp enthusiast seems to betray an uncertainty about the legitimacy of the word
rampy, writing it sometimes as
ramp-y.
Rampy is not in any dictionary as far as I can see, and is used so rarely that it could be classed as a nonce word. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be adding it to our list.
