The TRAMPET (description)
Short form – isolate and bind – the SIMPLE TRAMPET

Transformation of an already existing word into a new word, which
is same or similar by sound, but has a completely new meaning, or
into a sequence of words (f. ex. A sentence).
The transformation is based on isolating sounds interior to the
former word, which by sound are, or remind a different, already
existing word.

Trumpet = tram + pet = trampet

f. ex.:
Achilles = a kill less = eh, kill less!

Aspirin = a spear in

TRAMPET in MASTERFORM (story)

A masterTrampet exceeds the value of 3 words & minimum 2
meanings, what in fact means a sentence, which – when written
without spaces – is a word, which can be read in minimum 2
different ways, each one giving a different meaning, but at the
same time each one consisting of exactly the same letters put in
exactly the same order within the master-word of no spaces. The
meanings will be derived by placing spacebars within the masterword.

Building a masterTrampet:

Step 1.

TV and RADIO SHOW
the

STRUCTURE OF THE TRAMPETTRAMPET-SHOW [suggested]:

The typical TrampetTrampet-Day:
Step 1 – RADIO:
RADIO
In the morning the listeners (in cars on the way to work, early
at work, till midday) call up the radio telling CREATIVE
TRAMPETS of their own. A subject can be given (f. ex. the next
hour’s trampet is… Yellow! – a person calls telling yell low, the other
call lore {instead of color}, etc.,.).
The trampets are being written into an electronic base in the
radio’s computer. Rejected are those, which do not match the subject
(in any way they should) and those, which repeat ideas which were
previously recorded in the computer base. Rejected are also those
Trampets, which are senseless or vulgar.
Collecting the Trampets – although it should happen “on air” –
does not need any extra show or audition, but can be led within the
existing shows. “On air” there should appear the good Trampets
only, that means those Trampets, which match the subject and are
sensfull.

At midday there is the PRESENTATION of the day’s trampets.
Voting starts.
The Presentation acquires an extra Trampet-show.
The best trampet is being chosen and becomes the TRAMPET OF
THE DAY (of the week, etc.).
The AUTHOR of the trampet of the day wins a chance to perform
his skills in the next TV-SHOW.
The winning Trampet is being written into the annual Trampet
Book.

In the afternoon there is a short (30 minutes?) radio-show
reassuming the Trampet Day with the (20?, 15?) best trampets of
the day. [hint: this show shall be performed evening {5 pm}, after
work, but just before people start watching TV, so that they can
listen to it driving back from work, or just after they arrived home
and have their first after-work relax.
It acquires an extra Trampet-show.
It is very important, that on the radio there are being used Creative
Trampets only – first because they can be understood without an
eye watching them written down, secondly because creative are
[mostly] aimed to be funny, which increases their ability to attach
the listeners in the morning when preparing or driving to work, &
in the afternoon, when relaxing just after work: the mind is busy
with something pleasurable but warming up on the Trampet in the
morning, busy with something funny & pleasurable but cooling
down in the afternoon. Herewith the two daily radio-Trampet-shows
are perfect for those who work in offices1.
1

It will also probably become a part of the daily office life.

The afternoon shall also prepare the atmosphere for the next
Trampet-Day.

Step 2 – TVTV-SHOW weekly:

For the TV-show there are invited the winners of the TrampetDays.
Every winner assembles a team of 4 people of his choice and is
the team-leader during the TV-show.
If there are 2 Trampet-Shows weekly, let one be 3 teams of the
odd days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) happening on Sunday,
the other one be 3 teams of the even days (Tuesday, Thursday,
Saturday) taking place on a week day of the Tv-station’s choice:
this makes two tv-Trampet-shows per week.

Step 3 – TVannually
TV-SHOW monthly, quarterly, annually:
The winning teams of the weekly Trampets qualify for the
monthly SHOW.
The winning team of the monthly Trampet qualifies for the
Quaterly Finals which take place every 3 months and include 3
teams (which again deliver 4 winners for the Annual Trampet
Finals).
Finals

The monthly show should be in the middle of every month, so
that by the end of every month there can be an extra CharityTrampet2 with TV& radio stars, actors & artists, famous people, etc.,.

See: Extra Trampets – Charity Trampets in this booklet.

suggested STRUCTURE of the TVTV-TRAMPETTRAMPET-SHOW

Part 1:

1. drawing of a category of words
f. ex. words connected to geography or arts
2. every team chooses if it goes for:
a. simple Trampet
b. single word Trampet
c. creative Trampet
3. drawing of 5-15 words from a dictionary3
4. 1-3 minutes time for every team to create a Trampet from one
or a few (if it is not a single word Trampet) of the previously
drawn words, in the previously chosen category.
5. the public voting for the Trampets:
a. accepting: Yes/No
b. creativity: points
c. if funny/wise: points or spontaneous reaction (clapping,
laughter)
note/hint:
The voting can be arranged in that way, that in the
public there is a simple voting panel built into the chairs, so
that everyone can point 0 for not accepted, 1 for accepted, 2 for
I like this Trampet, 3 for I love this Trampet, and 4 points for
an awesome Trampet. If the machine recounts the votes
3

Extra steady sponsorship of a Dictionary & Lexicons publishing company on the Trampet-show [f. ex. the Trampetshow is being brought to you by Webster’s or Lanmgenscheidt].

(average), the average of the points is what goes to the teams
for their Trampets. All this needs a simple machine which is
no big cost for the TV-channel.
A spontaneous reaction is highly valuable to the public at
the tv-screens. It can be also measured by loudness.
6. the round-Trampet:
After a few Trampets every team gets a chance to multiply the
points by the number of points it will get for the last round’s
Trampet.

Part 2:
Part two is about showing a word drawn from a dictionary with
indirect (Trampet) means. F. ex. the word color can be shown with
gestures remaking a call on the telephone and lore (f. ex. remaking
the words with mute speaking on the invisible phone & mute paging
of an invisible book, etc.,.). There can be no sounds or gestures
pointing at the word directly given. Every team is trying to guess
the Trampet word (here the Trampet is the ordinary word hidden
behind the Trampet gestures).
The points are collected from a clock running down 4 minutes (or
40 seconds?) for every Trampet, until a 0.
At the end (as in Part 1) there is an extra Trampet, which is a
chance to multiply the points won in the second round.

Part 3:

The last Part of the game shall consist of an attempt, where the
teams are trying to build a Trampet in Sentence from all the
Trampet-words they created during the whole show.
The Sentence shall make sense.
The sum of the points every the team got during the whole show will
be multiplied by the sum of the points the team gets in this very
final.

There are two methods of counting the points:
1) At the beginning there are 10-20 points available. Every word
added to the Trampet-Sentence, or every Trampet-word
missing in the Sentence is minus one point.
2) The public votes for the Sentence.

During the brakes between rounds or while the teams are working
on the Trampets there can be shown:
• Trampet cartoons – short, funny cartoon films starring
the Trampet characters [f. ex. the flighter]
• Trampet satirical drawings on the latest show’s
Trampets
• Interviews with the week’s or month’s Trampetologists
• Etc.,.
Prizes.

the CHARITY TRAMPET

The Charity Trampet is a selfself-advertisement for the Trampet-Show
and for the TV-channel itself.
In the Charity-Trampet there shall appear: TV-stars, radio
presenters, famous people, artists4.

Monthly:
Monthly
As an extra show making the months Trampet-highlights
with the Trampet-Monthly Finals.
(suggested: artists & famous people)

Quarterly:

with the Trampet-Quarterly Finals.
(suggested: artists, famous people)

Annually:
Annually
As an extra show making the annual Trampet-highlights
with the Trampet-Annual Finals.
Suggestion: (politicians)
There shall be a years greatest Trampet-show (during Christmas?)
starring two (or more – depends on the country’s political reality)
4

A show with hip-hop stars for example shall be very successful, and the rhyming & word-playing skills of theirs
extremely helpful in the Trampet-show.

political parties-teams. As a Charity-show it should be the year’s
greatest advertisement of the TV-station and the Trampet-show
itself.
The year’s only Political Trampet can be highly estimated by the
political parties not only as a nice event where political opponents do
meet to compete for charity in a funny and relaxed atmosphere, but
as a sort of advertisement of the political parties themselves, where
for free – without any extra charge as by the way of TVcommercials or spots for example) they can win the minds and
hearts of the voters. It shall be extremely attractive to the voters as
well, especially if during the Trampet-show the voters can estimate
the real mental qualities of the politicians being obvious in the
Trampet-game and competition.

the TRAMPET

MAGAZINE

There shall appear a monthly (or weekly) Trampet Magazine,
containing:
• the months best Trampets from:
o the radio’s database
o tv-shows
o sent directly to the Magazine
• satirical drawings of the Trampets (f. ex. a drawing of the
flighter5 or a satirical cartoon on Achilles (eh, kill less!6, etc.,.)
• figures of the months best Trampetologists:
o voting for the Trampet of the Month
o voting for the Trampetologist7of the Month [title &
award]
• news and hints on the global Trampet-show [also on Trampetshows from other countries]
• a TrampetTrampet-Crossword puzzle [-crossword using Trampets
instead of words, f. ex. “question: a warrior fly; answer to be
filled into brackets: flighter;”].
• Etc.,.

The Trampet-Magazine is a part of the Trampet-culture which shall
exist around the Trampet-show.

See: the Simple Trampet
7 the Trampetologist is a remake of a scientific title in the field of Trampetology, which is a “science” on TramPets. In
reality the titles are to be funny in the context of the Trampet-show, and are given for practical (not theoretical) skills
here.

the

TRAMPET ANNUAL BOOK:
BOOK

The annual Trampet Book ahould appear in form of a full-color
album [a perfect Christmas gift].

The drawings will also be used for Trampet ADVERTISING:
- t-shirt prints (f. ex. a t-shirt with the flighter drawing,
signed flighter)
- posters & [occasional] cards (f. ex. Trampet New Years Eve
or Christmas cards)

the TRAMPET SHOW as a way of life in the community:
• realizes the creative side of man and through that gives a lot
more satisfaction and fun than the shows based on readyknowledge {the art of remembering} or psychological skills
• realized properly can inflict the whole life of a community,
through its all-time & all-places presence in the day to day life
– there it will become sort of a natural habit bringing fun &
joy into the day-to-day life of the community using no extra
means or facilities. After all the TV-show won’t be
entertainment on the TV or the radio only, but an integrate
part of “the way of life”, of the community itself. Whoever once
created a trampet cannot stop – he/she starts to live the
trampet. The trampet becomes not only psychologically and
mentally healthy, or just entertaining event, but also a
educational, self-improving way of living the most natural
mean of communication in the community – the
LANGUAGE.
