New words - let's have some, shall we? Words that you've had to invent to fit a particular definition, or words that sound so good they're worth inventing a definition for.


Nunce - the zero version of once, twice etc.

eg: "I read it nunce" = "I never read it."

or:

"How many times did you snog hir?"

"Nunce!"

(ed. - damn, 'none' would fit there, as a reply, wouldn't it? Still, nunce is more forceful.)

Presumables - not quite sure about this, but possibly 'presumed consumables' or maybe 'objects presumed to be in someone's possession'. eg: "The suspect was carrying a full set of presumables."

Any more?

I know it's not new, but I ran into a conversational situation recently wherein "flustrated" (as in "flustered" + "frustrated") fit perfectly and flowed from my mouth w/o a pause. I no longer think that it is an inherently stupid word, despite the derisive looks I received upon using it...

Snackish. As in wanting popcorn but not really hungry. Or chocolate covered graham crackers. Ice cream with chocolate syrup. hmmm

jUne, a sunshiny month
06:20 / 18.10.02
Concupissant ???
tell me that Concupissant is also a english word ?
cool ! it's one of my favorite french words, but probably more because it's an additionn of nasty/sexual/anal related french vocabulary (con-cul-pisse-sent)...
 
 
ephemerat
09:49 / 18.10.02
Yes; odd yet strangely cormorous...

Cocksumerism?
 
 
Eloi Tsabaoth
12:12 / 18.10.02
And I suppose if you do it entirely out of an attempt at sexual conquest it's Ear-Cocksumerism...
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
12:15 / 18.10.02
Or peacocksumerism...just this once I was thinking not of thrusty man meat but of mating displays by boy birds.

But I'm thinking of thrusty man meat now.

Obviously.

Now I am thinking of thrusty man meat too.

And I so wasn't before Haus. I was rather thinking of juicy, inviting woman meat, which, brings me to another new word...

Ambisextrous - a term for the bisexual switch.

or, if I dare...

Bambisextrous - a term for the dim bisexual switch
 
 
Mourne Kransky
17:10 / 18.10.02

Somebody who is coming onto you, but only because they are drunk rather than because of any particular virtues you may feel yourself to possess.

Morden- the stuff that the trails you see on acid/mushrooms is made of. (There is a reason behind this, but I'm buggered if I remember what it is).
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
09:11 / 19.10.02
But the teeth thing is hafl the *point* of Bowie...
But anyway, duly impressed by the mighty Apple-Picker, I venture:

hapax incompetence

Egostereosis?
 
 
Saveloy
16:12 / 24.10.02
Good stuff, folks. More!

I need a word for:

- the state of mind you find yourself in 10-15 minutes after waking up; your operating system is booting up, and your personality, with all its self-delusions and ego cushioning software isn't up and running yet. For some reason your brain decides to run a cold, ruthlessly objective scan of itself at the same time as your ego kicks in, which means that there's lots of naked, unprotected self to be hurt when the scan concludes that you are a ridiculous cock and all your ambitions, beliefs etc are pathetic, pretentious and laughable. Urgh.
 
 
The Apple-Picker
22:15 / 24.10.02
Hm. I'm not exactly sure what you call that state of mind, but the act of doing this is perhaps to aubadepreciate oneself. From aubade and depreciate.
 
 
Persephone
12:02 / 30.10.02
Was sweeping up yesterday and remembered that the thing that you sweep the dust into with the broom is called the gride. It's been so long, I'd forgotten it was a made-up word.
 
 
deja_vroom
12:15 / 30.10.02
the state of mind you find yourself in 10-15 minutes after waking up

R:"sbingbationess".

12:28 / 30.10.02
Take any word that gets mispelled/misused, so much that everybody - even the media - uses it wrongly. This word becomes so fossilized that hardly anyone remembers the proper way of writing it, and they'll think that the proper way of using it is wrong.
Now, if you know the right way of spelling it, and you use it correctly even if you know you're going to face blank stares and a flock of lemmings telling you that "this word is mispelled, you dummy", then your are a... grammartyr.
 
 
Pepsi Max
12:32 / 30.10.02
the state of mind you find yourself in 10-15 minutes after waking up

desolemnate?
 
 
Pepsi Max
12:35 / 30.10.02
How about a word for:

Initial panic when you realise you have fucked up totally leading into the acceptance that there's nothing you can do about.

I want a word for that gamut.
 
 
Pepsi Max
12:36 / 30.10.02
And there's another one:

Glamut - a person made fat from the consumption of every possible food stuff in existence.
 
 
Pepsi Max
12:38 / 30.10.02
Estimental - Change so slow you're not even sure it's going on. It might just be a trick of the light.
