So, I’m here in my university department’s mailroom, faxing a request to use one of the motor pool’s cars on Friday. The form I have to fill out has the following sentence written on it, in big capital letters:
“USE OF VEHICLES FOR NON-UNIVERSITY PURPOSES STRICTLY PROHIBITATED.”
My question is: Is “prohibitated” a word? Can we just add extra syllables to words and have them still be valid in English? Could “stealing,” for example, be promoted to “stealitating”?
For some reason, being prohibitated from doing something really, really bugitates me. I’m already stressitated enough, what with writitating my thesis and all. Perhaps I should do yoga or meditatitate.
If this thread is too lameified for the Pit, we can relocalizitate it to another forum.
You need a change of scenery. Maybe you should move, if you can find a good realator. Or you could buy yourself a present to make yourself feel better. Some nice jewelery, perhaps?
That’s “allowified” to you, buster. I read it on the Google.
(The joke in my post before this one is that “reorientated” is common in UK English, while “burglarized” is common in US English. Each sounds absurd to the other. I think we need to sign a pact to use each other’s “burgled” and “reoriented” for the sake of brevitification.)
I been velocitized!!!
At a high school I used to attend some football games for, the principal was the PA announcer and always mentioned the fine Ath-a-letic department at his school. I once asked him why he didn’t mention the Arithamatics department too, and he just stared at me, stupidly.
This stupid girl that was in like, every class in high school you used to say, “hippo-ma-potamus” for “hippopotamus.” She swore up and down she wasn’t doing it on purpose and that she couldn’t help herself, yet-strangely- nothing else she said had any type of impediment.
Yeah, she was just an attention whore idiot who thought it was cute, but that’s just me arm chair Dr. Phil-ing.
