made up words
 

List the made up words you hear and their definition you hope or don't hope make it into the dictionary standard for the American language. :greenface

------------------------------------------------

hairapy= hair = therapy.( actually saw this word on an advertisement)

creepaziod. A general creep = inhuman thing. ( my made up word )

pwn shop

Jankey - Synonym for F'd up. Appropriate around children/work. We have a lot of Jankey customers and equipment at my job

Chillax...Chillaxen - chill and relax combined. "What are you doing today? Chillaxen."

Careful--Chillaxen could very well be the name for the newest anti-depressant.

:) Well then it will have a whole new definition won't it? As long as they pay me (and the other million owners of the word) royalties...

la de freaking da ( I can't stand that one)


la-la land - A place where the Tooth Fairy and Dracula have tea parties and people visit quite often when extrenely bored. Other residents include the Easter Bunny, Bigfoot, and a bowl of munchkins. Not enough munchkins for a symphony, but enough for a big band sound from the 1930s and 1940s.

:lol2:

:)

Are we gellin'?

:blush:

Neologisms are often symptomatic of major mental illnesses, including, but not limited to, schizophrenia.

Sometimes used to refer to Los Angeles, also. ;)

Oh...wait...that would be the same thing....nevermind.

Marklar: marklars a noun or a verb that marklars a marklar. May be marklar'd as a marklar that expresses marklar. Marklar.

Poxie - its not really made up, its Australian, but I use it heaps and no one has a clue what I'm talking about.....poxie/poxy (for me) is used to describe something I dont like, but dont hate.

Manky - something a bit off.

There's another one, that the boys at work made it, its hilarious, but can seriously offend. Its an adaptation of the dreaded *c* word.

Consiering how often pshrinks invent new words, that's pretty funny.

Irregardless....although one of my ex's used it, irregardless of it's made-up word status. :rolleyes:

That one is like fingernails on a blackboard (remember those?) to me!

so is it orientate or just simply orient?

if there's an orientation, are the attendees orientated?

Screeeeeech!

Shouldn't a thread about Bush be located in the politics folder?

Some would regard witchcraft and other ritualistic behavior mental as well.


oh you mean Homer Simpson! I had to google that word.
I am such a 'tard' oh man there is that symptomatic behavior again.

List of neologisms on The Simpsons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The Simpsons, an animated television series, has used and coined many neologisms for humorous effect. The most famous example is Homer Simpson's signature annoyed grunt, "D'oh!" which has been listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, in addition to smaller references such as OUP's single-volume Oxford Dictionary of English (second edition).
Few of the following would qualify as neologisms from a strict lexicological perspective due to their extremely limited use outside of the show. For those that have found their way into regular use, the route passes through the considerable fan-base where use of these words carries the prestige of pop-culture literacy among those who catch the references, just as among other cultural groups a clever parallel to a well-known phrase from the literary or rhetorical canon would be acknowledged.
The following is presented more as a glossary of words or phrases invented by the show which one or more characters use in regular speech, as though intended as real terms. This does not include names of invented characters, locations, or products.



oh and let us not forget internet message boards with our little lingos, the inner city getto speak ect.
[edit- there poof all gone cap'n]

hmmm..... harsh.

:lol:


I just think the pshrinks 'otta' put ther 'pshrink' hats away sometime. Put the note taking label everything mindset away and just have some fun. :D

I like you wolf. You are one of my favorite posters. I just tell it like it is but I have to remember to guard my thyroid so I'll be nice about it. Sorry if I am harsh.

Bush? umm tell me when this horrible middle eastern trouble and this presidency is over. :hide:

I can't help it, I lose a great deal of respect for someone who uses that one... especially when they use it a lot. That happened quite a bit in my old office, there were three or four who LOVED that word. :greenface

I would suggest a visit with your local mental health practitioner, as your sense of humor appears to be broken. It may need resetting.

Regarding your first question, "orient" and "orientate" are both in common use though the latter is still not accepted by some (the English language is still evolving as are some of its users).

Regarding your second question, consider this:

"Attendees" are oriented if they know who they are, where there are, and what day it is.

"Orientees" are oriented by attending an orientation.

Just a suggestion while on the subject of made up words! :)

ummmm NO. You go visit yours because you are too sensitive. For a shrink. You don't want to be transfering now do ya. umm and arn't you the resident shrink anyway?? Your busy keeping us on our toes. :D Thanks for the no charge advise. It was greatly appreciated.

but

I can think of better ways to relax and have fun. The beach, The Sun a concert. yeah. Vacation here I come! :D

JC--I read that as 'Vatican, here I come!'

Holyholyholy...

that dosn't make sense , since I am not a religious person

but if it gets her to laugh then alrighty. I think you guys are fine. Just don't get all freaky on me. No need to get defensive. I am only having fun.:) [too]


[the street does go both ways ya know ]

:lol2:

I was going to say "Ain't dat da troot!" but I fear that would merely serve to support that statement.

I feel that way about people saying "anywayS." There are many co-workers and educators and higher-ups who simply should know better.

My wife has a TERRIBLE habit of using nondescript, made-up words for things she cannot immediately remember the names of. Her terms-of-choice are "thingy-thing" and "fun stuff." For example, at a restaurant she will want to order some version of flavored iced tea and will ask if they have any reaspberry fun stuff.
(She also has pronoun trouble in that she starts conversations using pronouns for which she has provided no reference, but that's probably a different thread.)

The other, generally accepted, ones that bug me are "aks" for "ask" and "expresso" for "espresso."

Vomitose. As in: "I think I've had too much too drink - I feel vomitose"

barfaroni -- a bit too descriptive for me.

Oo, making words up! Fun fun fun!
 

Solecisms are bad; it's that simple.

Something the pointyheaded Bush Bashers don't mention is that roughly a third of Congress, House and Senate, say "nucular." "Misunderestimated," however, is probably in the national lexicon to stay for at least a decade and maybe permanently: it concisely nails a certain kind of error, and does it while being amusingly, rather than gratingly, country.

Learned coinings aren't so bad: the anywaysers and the irregardless-gushers suffer from being hemipygian. While I'm trying to promote the word, I'm not so enthusiastic about any related words such as a noun like hemipygine, meaning a hemipygian person. It's too ambiguously spelt.

Axing a question fills me with an urge to gesture.

The US military spokesmen's inability to pronounce "cache" correctly makes me sigh. Were there NO military men in Iraq and Afghanistan who hailed from places with French placenames like Cache la Poudre, near Fort Collins, Colorado? It rhymes with "cash," guys.

Made up words within my family:

Beebles - any dried catfood, also used to describe boring cereal
Dither - not the dictionary definition, but an all over body shiver of disgust - "Those caterpillar pictures gave me the dithers"
Gollop - to drink in large swallows - "Stop golloping, you'll make yourself sick!"
Gullet (also gulluted, gulleting) - replaces "fillet" (fish)
Lurkey - left over turkey, also Licken and Larky Bread (I used to eat garlic bread for breakfast when I was a pizza waitress)
Mashipots - mashed potatoes
Sleepy-bo - the feeling of utter exhaustion that overcomes small children when they are literally falling asleep where they are
Spiggits - biscuits (cookies)

Obviously these are childhood words, but are still used without embarrassment.

liberry for library
pacific/pacifically for specific/specifically
prolly for probably
all annoy me.

But i get over it cos I have a few of my own:
fuffer- anything of the cuddly variety.
eddy fuff- anything extremely cute.
randomer- anybody not known to me~ some randomer cut me off
and various made up swearwords etc..

Just listen to that moron Bo Deitl on Imus in the morning and you could fill up this thread. I'm not even gonna start.

now, if you took an asian person and spun them around in a circle for a few minutes, would they become disoriented?



Gunt: the chubbiness below the beltline that some women display.

Sniglet: a made up word.

My husband has a horrible (but entertaining) habit of mixing up two words that have the same (or close) definition:

to him,
drowsy + groggy = droggy

I am not a shrink. I am a Mental Health Commitment Officer.

I actually don't like or have much respect for the majority of shrinks, therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and licensed social workers. I know from direct experience that about 80% of them are gaping idiots who couldn't gain entry into any other major.

I think you can say the same for just about any field.

Classic Peter Principle situation.

Chubby chafe - the irritaion between fat thighs, from rubbing together while walking.

Those are both actual words.

Proactive.... god I heard it so much in the damn office.
I wanna' find the glib fuck that made that shit-up and stomp them like a puppy.

A neologism contest where the challenge was to change or add a single letter in or to a word, and then define the new word, produced the concise and useful-sounding Ignoranus -- someone both ignorant and an asshole.

A woman I worked with came up with a useful one - hingent.

It's a mixture of hinges on and contingent.

lol!

ignoranus works....


that should definitlay go into the lexicon

[Garry Owen] "There is no truth to the rumor that Hingent sang 'Hold Your Head Up.'"[/Garry Owen]

Early Amber series was tasty stuff, wasn't it, Dar512?

Yup. It's yet another set of books I reread every couple of years. The man had a way with words.

From the mind of Will Ferrell

"Scrumtralescent"

My co-worker just had a good one: belignorant.

Excellent! I suspect everyone has met a belignorant person or two.

In our work (financial aid) they run rampant!
