Nightmares

I had a dream last night that included the phrase "a whole notherwise."

I awoke in a cold sweat.

Comments:
me to my roommate last night:
"but that's a whole nother asignment... I said it!" (I also heard it on tv, I forget the context. Sonya thinks I'm weirder than she thought before.)
 
last night my little sister said "whole nother" and matt and I reacted simultaneously. She didn't quite know what to do. I forget what she was talking about.
 
"I had a dream last night that included the phrase "a whole notherwise.'"

Perfectly good neologism! "wise" is an adjectival substantive (as in "The wise will be honored someday."

So, your subconscious was building this neologism by analogy with other whole nothers.

Maybe?!
