In grade school, outrance.marymc says,
shnard.Dean6805 says,
I like outrance, L2. Makes perfect sense. Mary, can you define "shnard?"skyrocketjones says,
Scorendous! When the other, less liked team is making Waaay too many points!Dean6805 says,
I like it, sky!marymc says,
Schnard - noun. Any speck of dust that spoiled a photographic print in the darkroom. Now applies to errant pixels in a digital file.Dean6805 says,
Nice. I know some people who call them "evidence of spirit activity." Tune in on Wednesday evenings on SyFy. ;)MrsPremise says,
Poopola. Couldn't come up with the right word the other day, when discussing the roof line of a room addition I'm designing. Cupola, poopola, pergola.Dean6805 says,
Ha! Nice.jene2008 says,
I use "thingy-ma-jigger" and "whose-ee-whatsee" a lot. I'm usually at a loss for the correct word to use or a person's name. Poor Dean, he usually knows exactly what I'm talking about.mzejay says,
Dramaful, used to describe extra unnecessary drama added to any event.Dean6805 says,
I work at a school so I'm familiar with that one, mzejay!Amapola says,
Mrs Premise, that one can probably get you on a censorship list in Latin America LOL!Mine are full of half-Dutch, half-Spanish spontaneous ocurrences - We hispanics living in Holland like to do that. For example: the other day I used fitseando instead of fietsen (riding a bike).
Believe says,
Fantabulastic. The meaning is obvious.Knoxena says,
How've and you've. just to have six words.Dean6805 says,
Those aren't invented words, Knoxena; just infrequently used contractions.AQScott says,
Genuity...meaning genuineness...I know it's out there now, but I thought of it first!Amapola says,
I just invented 'lovettery' in one of my recent memoirs :-)violetheart1 says,
Smarticle and funzy. :)ctgoods2 says,
I thought I invented chesticles - but I've heard it used by others. Still fun to throw around though.Dean6805 says,
Love it, CT!oopsalittle says,
Maybe I invented 'volupts' ...' I'm voluptuous. Just wrongly placed volupts'....
Dean6805 says,
Awesome... do you think people would mind if I complimented them on their volupts?oopsalittle says,
well it would be good to know how people take it - so I think you could do a random 'compliment on volupts' research sample...Dean6805 says,
Probably shouldn't start that here... might be trouble.oopsalittle says,
I agree - we dont want to add fuel to any fires..canadafreeze says,
Volumtuous and chachaliminas. Can't take credit for either.canadafreeze says,
Lexican. Words I can and should use.Dean6805 says,
I love lexican! I'm totally stealing it, canada!Dean6805 says,
I love lexican! I'm totally stealing it, canada!canadafreeze says,
I love to share. Steal, away.canadafreeze says,
But, share the credit, eh ;-)LydiaG says,
Buzzit. Coined when I was about 3, it means fart to my entire family.Level1 says,
This is courtesy of my son: craptacular.Dean6805 says,
Nice, Lydia. Lev, I have a friend who uses that!canadafreeze says,
Lexicant: words we shouldn't use...ever.JAD says,
When asking for a kiss I always say can I have a kissaroo?GinaGee200 says,
Randomazing, with Random and Amazing scrambled together!! inventive right?RainhaMom says,
My husband invented "insugarated" after eating too many donuts. It's one of my favorite words.peeshder says,
DrahsmaticCombination of Dramatic and Ahsmatic
Not a good combo
accidentaltourist says,
"Adjectivectomy"...when the editor asks for 300 words and I give him 350...it's less painful if he lets me do it myself.Dean6805 says,
Great words, all of them!Mourningdove says,
Status Dramaticus-Status dramatacus is an acute exacerbation of drama that does not respond to standard treatments or therapy.
Usually reserved for the most serious of drama queens
oopsalittle says,
Forrealism!!!Dean6805 says,
I love it, oops!oopsalittle says,
Ha! me to dean!ba_miracle says,
I didn't invent it but "Spamalicious" and "spamformation" from the Zillow site.DappleGreyMoon says,
illintelligent: I thought it was a real word, but now I find it isn't... so what does that make me?
