Our cat snuck into our fridge while I was getting some almond milk.

A few minutes later my wife heard meows from inside.
She opened the door and asking me what Lily was doing in the fridge.

She's just chillin, I replied.

Yesss, this is why I love puns. :3

I also like merging words and taking them to create new words.

What I do, and also something my dad does, is to take words and garble them into something that sounds similar. Then they become common terms around the house that we use in everyday speech.

For one example, "Milk" is "Milwaukee." Kitchen becomes "keychain."

My mom always complains that she can't understand me, and tells me to talk in "normal words."

Other times we just take the and play around with the potential pronunciations until we get something that sounds ridiculous.

ex. Buffet pronounced like "muffet"

I also take the normal form of a word and just add suffixes to it.
These are also common.
Ex. Refrigerator -->
Refrigematizer

One common suffix is "a-may", which is used in a somewhat affectionate or diminutive manner.

Ex. Get the spoon-a-may. (said jokingly)

I lost my phone-a-may. (referring to the phone as something dear to you)

"-ala" is an affectionate ending used in nicknames.

ex. Mommala, Daddala, Grammala

Occasionally I will put two words together to form a new word.

ex. yummy + delicious = yummy-licious

Or, when there's not a term for something, adding endings to an existing word to make a term for it.

ex. to make something not smushed

de- + smush + -ify = desmushify!

One of the lovely things I like about the English language is that you can take a noun, add an ending onto it, and get a whole new verb!

ex. mushroom!

what's past tense? -ed!

...and you get "mushroomed!"

I tried to do that in Spanish, and
I couldn't do it (at least, from what I know.) I guess you could say something grew "como un hongo," ("like a mushroom"), but when I went to Peru I never heard anyone use a noun as a verb.

Languages as a whole are really cool, and so is etymology. >u<
I am also really fascinated by accents and the ways that different people pronounce things.

People who's two front teeth is bigger than the rest...I call it rabbititis...but I only come up with this words because I forgot or don't know the actual words...and its also fun... I usually say this to my brother who has rabbititis....

Drawer comes out Dwarer

Sword comes out SWard

I usually pronounce words as they look, so debris is 'deh-bris', foyer is 'foi-yer', and philosopher is 'phee-lo-sof-er'.

I invented a new word today: "improssible", a combination of "impossible" and "improbable". To be used when something is extremely unlikely, but not quite impossible.

SWT. Smile while typing.
Things I see or read online make me smile more than laugh.
