Words You've Made Up

My younger brother came up with “ludicrity” to denote how ludicrous something was.

My friends and I make a distinction between “I’m starving” and “I’m starfing”. The latter means you’re really, really hungry.

Hork means to gobble something up without sharing. “Man, you’re horking all the cheetos!”


“I’m surprised that you’ve never been told before, that you’re lovely, that you’re perfect, and that somebody wants you.” - Semisonic, f.n.p

Threepeat. Pay me money.

“non sunt multiplicanda entia praeter necessitatem”

Read in a magazine about a Freudian typo in a survey on what women liked and disliked in men - one women doesn’t like:

studpidity.

:slight_smile:


The reason gentlemen prefer blondes is that there are not enough redheads to go around.

I made up “equalism” because I didn’t like the word “feminism.” Too much emphasis on females, instead of basic equality. I also don’t know a word that means “opposition to racism” or “opposition to gay-bashing” and I can use it for all of these purposes.

I also made up “gfurble” to mean some unidentified object that doesn’t really matter. It is also the monetary unit of the planet Nerfl’x.

I didn’t make this up, but I use it a lot. In aviation, Foreign Object Damage is a big problem. The phrase is often shortened to FOD, and posted on walls with a big slash through it. The word fod evolved to mean an object or person whose mere presence causes damage.

“peosh”, describing something that’s both nice and shitty

At a small Division I university situated along the southeast Atlantic coast, my friends and I saw many a very attractive female forms stroll along the sandy shores. While at the beach, whenever one of us saw a head-turner coming into our field of vision, we would say, “RENOB!” to alert the others. Renob is “boner” backwards.

I just used technignorant a few minutes ago to describe my lack of computer knowledge. I’m afraid that will shortened and I wil become a technigger. Before somebody gets offended, let’s just drop an “n” and call it techignorant. Thus, when it gets shlanged down (shaved down in slang usage) I will hopefully become a tigger.

TIC = tongue in cheek

g’dunge=sound of a 10 ton safe landing on the sidewalk after falling from the top floor of the Empire State Building, or, by exaggeration, other impressively destructive impact events.

squished=squashed for the purpose of making it fit; although I think I’ve heard others use it

skwunched=squashed and crunched, e.g. auto fender after car accident

Some childhood words:
“Boing-boing”–a series of ripples in a puddle, during rain. I coined this because of the similarity to a coil spring.
“Space”–a floating bubble, usually accompanying a “boing-boing.” Got name because of similarity to the part of the planet Saturn above the ring structure.
“Tutfk”–referring to Aunt Bee of the * Andy Griffith Show. * The word sounds like a hen’s cluck, and she seemed to regard Andy and Opie–along with Barney, Goober, etc., as her “chicks” in a sense.
This isn’t really a word, but an expression coined by Bob Kevoian and Tom Griswold of the Bob & Tom radio show on Q-95 in Indianapolis. They said that the new name for Disneyland was “Six Flags over Walt’s Frozen Dead Ass.” :wink:

Flumped: what our cat does when she decides it’s too much effort walking. She flumps on to the carpet.

Oh, Phouka, wasn’t “Horking” on the movie Strange Brew? I remember some variant in there but it may have a different connotation.

I’m not sure if its a word or not, but when I was on the rowing team back in HS we used the word “Bisweptual” for those who could row on both Port and Starboard sides. I got a little bi-curious one day and decided to switch sides and go bi. (sounds kinky, but its not) Those who get a bit nutty and can row in a single, and both port and starboard in a rowing shell are “Trisweptual”. And no, i’m not tri.

Barong - The national dress of the Philippines (Made of a sheer cloth with lots of embroidery), or a dance from Indonesia.

As for me, i have made up my own language, and continue to work on it.

A couple of the words from the language are: Hima - plant. Himisura - Botanist :).

Pongpay the poopay from your behonkus because that is mihkeebluh and looks quite ricky.

Yes, my family actually knows what this means

Behonkus- Butt
Poopay- a wedgie
Pongpay- the act of pulling out a wedgie
Mihkeebleh- nasty
Ricky- retarded… a play on the name Ricky Ricardo from “I Love Lucy”. Ricardo= retardo and later was just shortened to ricky. My eldest sister uses this most.

There are many more, but these are just the ones that I will share.
