Make your own words thread

Postby Segovia » Mon May 18, 2009 10:11 pm

I was having a discussion with my friend Emilie and she said that it is a dumb idea to make up new words. But I told her that the English language is evolving and therefore the creation of new words in inevitable. So in conclusion I am making this thread. Post words or phrases that you made up. Please tell what they mean.

"TS; YS; EOD" - That's stupid, You're Stupid, End of Discussion

That's the only word I made that nobody has invented. I looked up some other words I thought I made but turns out they are already invented.

Idsfnweofdsfogrgsdfsjrgionvoefdspmvagnvdfoe.

It means "some one or something that acts as an excuse to slam your fists on your keyboard."

An Example would be: "Dick should know that Jane's essay is just Idsfnweofdsfogrgsdfsjrgionvoefdspmvagnvdfoe, and therefore should not be cited as a credible source."

Detestosteronification - when some macho guy gets owned.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Engman- a combination of English and German vocabulary in a sentence.

Example:

The Burgermeister ran into the Rathouse and er screamed "Oh Wienerschnitzel!"

On a related note, I found "FNORD" scrawled underneath the drier in the bathroom of a Starbucks on Strand.

I thought I invented the word quizzical but then I read a book where it was used. I did invent the word slutatorium, used to describe a very slutty women, but I should only get partial credit because Aerosmoth's roadie told me that word in a dream (Aerosmith was playing a show in my living room for some reason and he revealed the word while making out with a "real slutatorium" on my couch)

I was somewhat shocked to discover that I did not invent the word preantepenultimate.

Disbenefit. Its meaning should be obvious.

I've also been known to use "instamatically" as a real word.
