Coin a new word and define it.

Well, c'mon now. Give it up. :D

Nose niffs are the residue and smears left when dogs get curious and try to sniff a closed window (i.e. car window, sliding glass door, etc.). Some nose niffs are messier than others---we can actually tell which dog made what niff on the car windows. :P

Edited to add: meant to say that we came up with this when we got our dog Diana (RIP) in 1993. :)

:D

Our rear window looks like smokers have invaded the car because the niffs make it so cloudy. :P We have to wipe it down constantly.

just for that. ;)

Dogs. :eyes: :P

:) If we didn't keep up with the whole nose niff thing, the windows would be tinted from the inside... :yoiks:

:P

:rofl:

scrumptiously over blown & filled with a gooey, sticky, pith-less center :-)

:dilemma:

:rofl:

Ummm...:shrug:

:P

How cool would that be to have herk in the next edition? :D

We need to get it into the basic lexicon of English by the end of the century. :D

We're gettin' it in by the end of the decade. We've a ton o' work to do. :7

However, one of my close friends is now a bonafide herky soldier. :D

What sort of an adjective?

That friend of mine I told you about uses herk now. We can do this Zombie. :P

in the English language.

Noun: I am a herk.
Verb: Would you herk me?
Adjective: You are herky.
Adverb: Herk me herkily!
Interjection: HERK!!

I think it can only not be a preposition or a pronoun. :D

It'll be tough, as there are only 52(?) of them so far.

Pronoun... I dunno about that one. :D

It means to coin a new word and define it.

But brilliant. :thumbsup: :P

The slurping noise a dog makes when really caught up in chewing on him/herself. :D

v. The dog has been snarkling for the last hour.

When you have a delicious meal -- often rich and creamy -- but it upsets your stomach afterward.

:9 :puke: :D

:P

The admiration, aggrandizement, or worship of someone possessing no merit or human value whatsoever.

:rofl: But unfortunately, a lot of people dubyulate these days. :yoiks:

B-)

:thumbsup:

The affliction of feeling enjoyment by belittling and hating people in the entertainment industry based on either a) a story that makes people think they know something true about the entertainer, or b) the hater's not appreciating the entertainer's work, or sometimes just not liking the entertainer's audience. Some believe this condition is caused by jealousy, others by not having been hugged enough as a child. Some experts believe it is simply a symptom of hating something about themselves, and transfering it to a popular figure, perhaps because they themselves are jealous of that popularity.

Those afflicted with hatertainment generally try to defend themselves, and seem unable to accept their condition. Their defense usually consists of repetative proclamations in increasingly foul language of the entertainer's unworthiness, as though it somehow affected the hatertainer personally.

There is no known cure, other than ignoring those afflicted in the hopes that the disease will fade with maturity.


:hide: :yoiks:

:D

Any time you try to defend anyone, you are called an "x" lover or apologist or some such derisive term. Tom Cruise, Rachel Ray, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton--you don't even have to say anthing nice about them, just complain about the hateful language, and BAM! you're a brainwashed disciple. That's another symptom of the illness! :)

and the symptom of which you speak. :P

Some quite longer than two minutes, and more than once a day!

The act of repeatedly altering facts until they receive the best focus-group response.

Thought up on this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2670087

(would that be the infinitive form of the verb?) quite a bit. :P

I still think it's my best! :(

factising? :P


Don't frown! :hug:

fact and focusing. I've always felt Practicing should be spelled with a 'u' anyway. :) (better?)

Yes, much better. :P

into an ash tray, by tapping ones index finger on the cigarette.

or I'd be all over that one. :hi:

Or "'tocks," if you prefer. As in, "Kicked him right in the tocks."

Not really a word, but a derivative or a corruption, or whateveryawannacallit.

I actually came up with it about a year ago. It became rather popular with the wordier chattists I hung out with. (One of 'em cooked up "chattist," which I quite like. It's akin to "ballist," which baseball players called themselves in the old, old days.)

:D :P

If you can make "ass" a verb. :P



But, remember: Verbing weirds language.

That's why I asked you that. :P

My hands were full, so I assed the door closed. :D

"to ass." :rofl:

Calvin would smack your tocks.

The woman behind me in line had been assing me for far too long! :grr:


:rofl:

:eyes:

Perfectly progress this.

:P

:rofl:

a would-be christian who is simply a hypocrite

:(

It means to invent a new word in a stupid manner - particularly applicable to bastardised new words which combine Latin preffix with Greek suffix, or Greek suffix with Latin prefix (such as that hideously bad term television).

And I mean British as well as American English, TJ. :P

and my hatred of these many terms has caused me to launch my personal crusade against fatulogoi.

The irony, of course, is that fatulogos is itself a fatulogos :crazy:

:D

but that would probably turn fatulogos into "idiotbloodyword" (that was pronounced with a strong fake Yorkshire accent) - which doesn't have quite the same elan to it.

No one would understand a thing. :silly:

:P

But English's mongrel nature is certainly one of the reasons for its widespread use.

of a mongrel nature?

For example the Romance languages clearly derive most of their words from Latin.

English tends to have one word from Latin (usually via French - which is why honour has a U in it) as well as one from German, both of which are essentially synonyms but which we give slightly different meanings to.

:7

Okay, my expertise is mostly in English, so I can't tell you much about the other languages.

It's what I call my kids when they are getting on my nerves.

:D

:)

:P

call them! :)

a spider, especially a yellow one.

blai-bla (accent on the first syllable)
blai rhymes with sky
bla rhymes with ska
^_^ blaibla....

:D

The practice of creating insulting nicknames for a person to the point where it's nearly impossible to understand who the Hell you mean! Example: just about every Ann Coulter or George W Bush nicknames!

:D

sometimes you get lucky! :)

Though I think my best has been overlooked!

Sometimes smartasses like to say, "never ascribe to malice that which may be due to incompetence." But let's face it, sometimes people really are both malicious and unutterably stupid. Take the present adminstration, for example. So I decided that the word for it is malincompetence.

:D

:grr:

Yeah, I like the sound of the one. :D

He's freakin' incompetent, but he's also malicious. Malincompetence should be his middle name... :applause: Good one, billyskank!

I do think that malice can lead to purposeful incompetence.

Yes, I am persuaded that such a thing happens. In fact I am reminded of the immortal words of Homer Simpson:

"Lisa, in this country we don't go on strike. When you hate your job, you just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."

With the current US government, I find it impossible to tell when they're actually trying to be shit at governing, and when they're just shit at it anyway.

Noun.

Technically a truncation of the term "Fucking Retarded." A disparaging statement usually used to describe a person or a person's state of being (ex: What a fucktard that guys is).

Its origins are indeterminate, but it came into usage in this area in the early 1990s. It means essentially the same thing as fucktard. :)

nuckfut. :)

:rofl: :hi:

I like it.





Tell me you didn't do that weeks ago and I'm just now noticing.:D

No, I did it just a few minutes ago! :rofl:

Joe has had his face painted in support of England for the World Cup. :D

:P

I find it difficult to cheer for England in the World Cup, billyskank. Considering, and all. :D

So I was told by his previous keeper. :)

Why would I expect you to cheer England? You have your own bunch of losers to worry about! :P

Well, yeah. :7

Twenty-two guys kicking a pig's bladder at each other for ninety minutes at a time and getting knocked out by the Germans.

:7

:rofl:


:toast:

At least we're in the same boat.

But that's more the mixture of my distaste for football, and the sheer irritation of the tournament and its associated crap than anything else.

run more along what billyskank said. :P

:patriot:

Even on an American board they're all talking about the football. :cry: Where can I escape it?

You probably don't get much of that in the UK. :evilgrin:


:hug:

I mean - getting beaten by Sri Lanka, why do we even bother sometimes and by over a century as well.

I'm afraid that cricket is the nearest I get to baseball - and rugby the nearest to football.

If you want to talk baseball though - go ahead, but don't mind me whilst I curl up and doze off over here... :P

:7

Did you make it up? :P

or has that one been taken already?

:think:

My terrible way of saying Ankle Bracelet.

Many legitimate words are made through blending, such as smog and spork. :D

Fartacious: Like Hot, Smelly Air being blown from your ass

The ious suffix usually makes it one.

:P

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh's radio today and he was farticous as always

One of my new favorite words. :D

I quite liked:

Reintarnation, v: coming back to life as a hillbilly. :rofl:

:rofl:

:D

Nufum is a word that my mom made up and we've used for years.

It can be used to describe many things.

Example: When you open up a can of kidney beans and you drain all the water, you'll see some bubbles and/or foamy look stuff still on the beans ..... that's "bean nufum". OR if you see something on someones shirt or blouse and you don't know what the fuck it is .... "hey you got some nufum on your shirt/blouse".

Gojessie (Go Jessie) - A zit. Another word my the madness that is minds of my mom and Aunt Pat. "Honey come over here, you've got a big ol' gojessie on your face"

Smartassea (Smart Ass E Ya) - A country my cousin and I created, because we were smart asses as kids. "O Hail! O HAIL! Smartassea" We were at war with the PRS (People's Republic of Smartassea) the communist neighbor.

I like nufum the best, though. I like a good flexible word like that. :D

it could be used in any language.

One who is batshit crazy in a manner similar, and for similar causes, as Tom Cruise.
