English speakers agree, for example, that the form _splody_ in the sentence _The splody cat sat on the mat_ is not an English word—but all the other forms are.
——

The OED and Wiktionary do not list “splody” but the Urban Dictionary (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=splody <https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=splody>) has one entry from 2006 by KabbiexYakushi:

Splody is a game (http://www.splody.com/ <http://www.splody.com/>) and nearly all Googits for the word refer to it, but I found the following citations not referring to the game:
