Made up words in the playground

[Ash08]

I'm a big fan of making up words and liberally adding them in large amounts to my conversastion... My current favorites are, zapple(used as either an exclamation or a... how to put this... comparitive noun[if such things exist] for something strange), bliniluar(adj. meaning shiny, wondeful, pretty), and ziggitypow(no idea what it means or it's part of speach... i just like saying it when I'm bored)... so fellow Playground members, what are your favorite made up words and how do you use them?

[Collin152]

I use them to the extent that I don't even remember what I use.
They're just words to me! Perfectly cromulant words!

I'm assuming pormanteus do not count, else I'd list such words as 'prossibly', which I use fairly often.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

Does "flawgic" count? Three guesses what it means. And the first two don't count.

[Ash08]

some one/ something prone to making errors? (I have a bad feeling I'm wrong)

...Okay, I actually expected you to know instantly, but...

Flawgic = flawed logic. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle (not really).

I was going to say "fallacies that involve coleslaw," but then I realized that I was thinking of something else.

I make up words a lot, but it's mostly just using words in other parts of speech.

[Haruki-kun]

This girl I know from school invented the word "wolonot". :smallbiggrin:

It was a combination of Age of Empires's "Wololo" and the word "not" when someone accidentally dropped something of hers and she reached out yelling "WOLONOOOOT!"

[Susil]

Me and friends like sticking 'ma' into existing words.

Like

answermaphone
vegematerian
airmaplane

[hamishspence]

I've occasionally used "killdozer" for a very powerful force- fictional monster, implacable hero, etc.

I've seen term used on these forums once or twice.

[Emperor Ing]

Im very fond of 'magnatuidous' - Something that has magnitude :smalltongue:

[Totally Guy]

"Nontroversial" Meaning free of controversy.

[Blayze]

Blackadder returns to obliterate the English language!


J: (places two manuscripts on the table, but picks up the top one)
Here it is, sir: the very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book,
sir, contains every word in our beloved language.

G: Hmm.

E: Every single one, sir?

J: (confidently) Every single word, sir!

E: (to Prince) Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if
I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribblarities.

J: What?

E: `Contrafribblarites', sir? It is a common word down our way.

J: Damn! (writes in the book)

E: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anespeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have
caused you such pericombobulation.

J: What? What? WHAT?

G: What are you on about, Blackadder? This is all beginning to sound a bit
like dago talk to me.

E: I'm sorry, sir. I merely wished to congratulate the Doctor on not having
left out a single word. (J sneers) Shall I fetch the tea, Your Highness?

G: Yes, yes -- and get that damned fire up here, will you?

E: Certainly, sir. I shall return interphrastically. (exits) (J writes some
more)

[Ashen Lilies]

Magnitude + Kaboom = Kaboomitude.

Hycalion, scatchard, shuugent, phyode, mrodat, sulatow, terchoy - Blogger word verification nonsense generator is your friend.

Also, karkfardlery, and braincustard (hat-tip to Warren Ellis for the latter)

[Headless_Ninja]

I use 'whosawojiwoji' as a declaration of confusion or shock. Also, I've adapted the word 'moss' to mean dishonest.

[Dogmantra]

I like the word Promiscute, though it might actually be real. It means "one who is promiscuous"

I also like the word Ironical. It's rather ironical to talk about good English, for example. It's just another word for ironic.

I also like the word Quiphoid. I made it up once and I can't think of a meaning. Help, anyone?

[Keris]

They're just words to me! Perfectly cromulant words!
It's spelt cromulent. And a related note, embiggen has been recorded in use as far back as the 19th century, so Ms. Hoover was not wrong.

It's a actual synonym, unfortunately you didn't make it up. :smalltongue:

"Similar to, but not the same as, a quip"?

[Dogmantra]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo
That means it's not ironical to use it when analysing English!
You won't tell anyone, yes?

Hmmm... embiggen though... I'm sure I've heard that somewhere, in a school motto in a book or TV programme. Something like x embiggens the human soul...
ARGH! It's so annoying! I can't remember what it's called!

"A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man." It's on the statue of Jebediah Springfield in The Simpsons.

In the episode "Lisa the Iconoclast" the following exchange takes place:
Mrs. Krabappel: I never heard the word embiggen until I moved to Springfield.
Ms. Hoover: I don't know why. It's a perfectly cromulent word.

However, embiggen was actually a word, although Matt Groening didn't know it. Cromulent, though, was created by him.

That's the one. I could even hear them saying it. I just couldn't identify the voices.

Hmmm.. more words that I like to use that are made up...
I like making nouns that sound right out of adjectives, or the other way around, like... Cranberry -> Cranberrical (meaning to be like a cranberry).
Often, I do it with words that actually make sense, and they turn out to be real words.

[Mauve Shirt]

I use "Enwarmening" a lot. Like, "this cup of tea is enwarmening my insides."

[Eldan]

It might not count, but I'm importing swiss german words into english, just to watch native speakers struggle with pronouciations that are utterly alien to them.

Crunky already has a meaning, but I use it simply as a cross between crazy and funky.

Also, using Internet as an adjective. So, I could say "Whenever I see a cat, I imagine a caption below it. I'm internet like that".

[Faulty]

"Bow" and "chicka" when used in conjunction with two "wow"s.

I like messing with "bro". Bromeister, Broseph, Brosé, Broski, etc. Makes me sound like a idiotic frat boy. Pisses of my room mates. Love it.

Vendure: the act of vending something.

Lovecraftia: a state of dread curiosity, and terror at what might be learned.

Doesn't everyone do the adding 'ma' to the middle of words? I thought everyone did that.

[Ravens_cry]

Boufles [BOO-fills]
A boufles is a big and lovable oafish creature, not prone to smarts, but endearing just the same. Generally applies to large friendly dogs. Also can be used as an adjective, as in "your a boufles dog, yes you are, yes you are."
Zwangy. [pronounce like twangy, but with a zed in the front instead of a tee] Generally an insane, but in a good way, idea or thing. Weird but compelling.
