Nonsense - Word Cloud

Thanks for a great first class session! Below is the word cloud we wrote together. Look it over and think about some of the associations we make with nonsense - negativity, untruth, bodily fluids, madness - also think about the *sounds* of some of these words and the way that a lot of the nouns are 'mass nouns,' and thus uncountable. Why do we talk about nonsense in this way?
