Do you have any words you actually say, or think in your mind that would be awesome and SHOULD exist and have a true meaning, and SHOULD be added to Mr. Webster? Let’s hear your favorite word, I’m interested, really.
Croggled.
What would that mean?
I think Lightninging ought to be a word. If you hear thunder and see lightning, then it’sthundering and lightninging outside.

[Bart Simpson] Craptacular! [/Bart Simpson]
Amn’t.
Ooooh, we need definitions!
oogy
Ex.- I don’t like needles, they make me feel oogy.
“Y’all”
I know it exists, but not in proper English. I mean, come on! It’s the best second person plural currently in existence! “You all” is longer, and two words, besides. “You” can be confused with the singular. “Y’all” is elegant, short, and everyone already knows it! What’s the problem?
And everybody thinks that we Texans can’t speak correctly. We’re just avant garde!
cromulent
and, before anyone else here remembers the word for a fat, balding North American ape - kwyjibo!
splith
castron

jehovah68, your post embiggins me to reach new heights.
couth (opp. uncouth) but it would actually mean more like “cool” in the hip sense not the temperature sense.
gorm I mean - we cannot ALL be gormless
Um - I WAS just about to think about “feckless” and why is there no “feck” till I remember Father Ted.
<Slow Celyn - more coffee needed>
Soup, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I say “y’all” and I’m born and raised Californian. Keep pushing; the rest of the country’s gotta come around at some point.
And my word is melty: 1. Not actually melted, but sort of partway there. You know, when that candybar is sort of flexible, but not yet liquid. 2. Something that has the potential to attain that state (ie, chocolate is melty)
A vital component of the queen’s english!
Either that, or I picked it up stateside and never noticed until someone pointed it out to me.
snarfie - but I don’t know what it means yet.
“snuglets” – The words that you say to your S.O. just before the two of you drift off to sleep. (Based on the word “sniglets” – the very thing we are talking about – words that need to exist.)
If I may, Celyn…
snarf (v): To eat quickly, as when pressed for time
“I just have time to throw on a clean shirt, snarf some cheez doodles, and hit the road.”
(1) snarfie (adj): The condition of being hungry, with limited time to eat
“I was feeling snarfie, so when I ran in to pay for my gas, I grabbed a candy bar and headed to work.”

“I’m not a starvin’ Marvin, but I am a snarfie scarfy; let me have one of those Slim Jims.”
