Rewriting the English Language: Made Up Words

Oh, me and my friends came up with this while ballin' tonight.

Bukake - An arrogant ghost

Look for it in the children's section of your local bookstore!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Whoa, this subject was on NPR today, but I was too busy paying attention to the iced roads. I did catch a bunch of corny words like, "What do you call it when you have to sneeze but cant? A Fauxneeze!"

I remember that there's a book out there too... just google fugitive words, since I can't recall title nor author.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I liked Stephen Colbert's word 'truthiness'

I once used the term 'Spammit' in relation to a thread that was full of spam and I had requested some art from the thread's creator like a week before. So it was a swear of sorts (Spam + Dammit = Spammit!)

How ya doing, buddy?

Where is ava lilly when you need a list of made up words? I swear, one could make a dictionary out of the words she makes up. <3

The only word I've ever made up was "de-peluching". It's the act of removing cat hair from your cloting. >__>

What?... STOP LAUGHING YOU FUCKS!

I was speaking idiomatically.

One of my words is "conversate" or "conversating."

However the sad part is, I thought it was a real word until like last night when I got corrected, then looked it up, and realized it wasn't a real word. Cool. It sounds real.

Another phrase of mine is "what are the goingons", using a bastardization of the word "goings-on".

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I also use "bavenge" or "bavenging" instead of "avenge" or "avenging" sometimes, but usually when I think it'll make my husband chuckle because he think's I'm being silly.

There's no altered meaning, it just sounds different.

FELIPE NO

The above post reminded me of They Might be Giants' song Prevenge. Premeditated revenge? Who knows. Great word though.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Now granted, as dumb as they sound to me, if I were to choose I'd rather that they said those than what they abbreviate, but that's just me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I used to say "chicken mcnasty" for all the things i found...well, disgusting.

Other words I thought were neologisms but weren't: skullduggery (LOVE this word!) and boondoggle (look it up...it's an awesome word 'cause it describes a lot of what I'm sure everyone does...and dang! I can't take credit for it...waahhh!!)

I frequently say "neef" for "no".

I make up my own swear words: shnargits! shikes! clankers!

I'm sure other people have heard of "ginormous" (gigantic + enormous)...don't use it that often though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm a fan of "punnage." I made that up to describe those who like to tell puns a lot.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've combined some of my random mumblings into words, but I'll be damned if I can think of anything.

I think the words I make up the most are generally curses and violent utterings.

"HOLY HELL SHITMONKEYS, THAT'S ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY CRAPTACULAR!!!"

Basically just drawing out whatever I'm saying, extending it with whatever words fall into place. It can be amusing when I am in a weird mood.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That's the best GFFers can do? Two pages of made up English?
Sheeshors!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Arachnophilia - The act or urge to engage in sexual activity from any arachnid.

Furtection - Any device or product used to garuntee "safe" sex between one or more Furries.

Actual words? I dunno. But in my college's anime club, we made up a few terms.

For a while we had this term "crotch magnet"... There were one or two people, who would somehow get hit in the crotch whenever somebody randomly tossed an object.

How ya doing, buddy?

Me and my friends have used a few portmanteaus like crimescapades(crime escapades) and detiquette (door etiquette).

With this other person I use the word 'stak' for goodnight strangely enough. I think it originated with a typo.

Most amazing jew boots

Well.......intresting.

My vocabulary isn't all that great so i'll just raed what ya have wrote.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Blargenheegen (Pronounced Blarg-ehn-hee-gehn; with hard G sounds) = An expression of suprise similiar to ZOMG!.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I turn typos into words. One time someone said "toughing" on accident (I think they were trying to say touching) and I defined it as "leaning against a wall and combing back your hair, preferably with a switch blade comb, so everyone knows you are in fact a hardass." I'm also partial to "shoeburyness," which is a word for that uncomfortable feeling you get when you sit on a chair and feel someone else's butt-warmth. I don't think I made this one up, though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Critch: the exact point in time when whining turns to bitching, as in "You passed the critch, you maggot-pie".

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The one memorable word I made up was eronic. It's sexual irony, like if you sleep with a hot chick only to find she's your sister. Oedipus is an example of eronic tragedy.

I vote this one to be the best so far!

Anyone seen the Strongbad Emails? Shame if you haven't. In one of them, he checks his imagination by trying to think of the "best thing ever". It goes like this: "Best thing ever: Beef......Stew. Yup, it's broke alright." My girlfriend Sam and our friends and I have officially adopted "Beef Stew" as a description for anything that is potentially the "best thing ever", or at least very awesome.

Also, you know what frotage is? Look it up. Anyway, Sam and I have created an alternate word: Baggit. I'm not even going to try and explain how it came about.

Oh, and one I heard in a flaming war that I treasure to this day. "Fuck you joob!" Joob will always be special to me.

How could I forget my baby! Fook, like the scottish way of saying fuck. I was about 15 when I came up with it, so it was a way to drop the F-bomb without getting in trouble. Shite too.

FELIPE NO
