View Full Version : Meanderings - new word invention
Ever invent your own words to fit situations?
Here's a couple of mine.
palaver cadaver - the feeling that the topic is dead.
lipso facto - it's true because somebody said so.
I'd be interested in hearing others.

1. verbal abstensia - my mouth keeps me from getting laid. 2. abortuary - my grandmothers word for an abortion clinic. 3. chronic mulletosis - a condition that causes bad haircuts.

I do it all the time, but then I usually forget the word as soon as it's been used. I'll try to pay attention the next time I do it so I can add some here.
One I can't take credit for:
Deja bull - the feeling that you've heard this BS before.

Ri-c0ck-u-lous OR Ri-shlong-u-lous: Beyond Ridiculous
If you are around a very select group of close friends and you feel you can be extra goofy, then go for broke and use: Ri-penis-u-lous.

My favorite made-up word was invented by a friend... compalling. Compelling, yet appalling... like so much in modern culture. We need this word.
Lo and behold, these were just emailed to me.
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
12. Karmageddon: It's when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and then the Earth explodes, and it's a serious bummer.
13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
14. Glibido: All talk and no action.
15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm
in the fruit you're eating.

7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
Each of these need to be added to the lexicon. In fact, Giraffiti is so funny, I'll lobby for it. I mean, really...'giraffiti'??? hahaha that is hilarious.
