Do you coin your own words or other peculiar things?

Post Reply New Topic

I usually coin my own words that is peculiar and could hardly be understood.
For example,"secularism" means anything irreligious or immoral,it is used derogatorily.
"Skistaic" means anything related to myself(I call myself Skisti).
"skidefer" is likely to be something related to OCD,means Skistic deferment(walk slowly to prevent harm)
"defotaization" means deleting thoughts and things that is related to FOTA(I used to call myself a member of FOTA,an organization that has only one member in reality,until two years ago.In August,2011,I thought that FOTA is evil,so everything related to FOTA,including passwords,names of files in my PC,and things like that have been changed.)
I had my own calendar in my high school.
I usually call some European country Pestania,some Asian country Dolchavia,some African country Potsmania.
I call myself

Christian Republic of Alesenia.

I have my own songs and sing them almost everyday.
I have my own fiction and strange metaphor come from it.
Is this a symptom of AS?

Nope. These are symptoms of creativity.
J R R Tolkien in the making.

No idea if it's asd related or not, but I've done it all my life. Some in my second language... Which have been accepted by language specialists as possible new mainstream words

Eh, somewhat, maybe. Have a habit of adding "ish" on the ends of certain words. "Toodles" is a good replacement for goodbye. Not original, but uncommon.

I think that carbon-4's post and mine should be merged.
They are actually similar to each other.

I even have political parties...

Now,in late January 2012,the biggest party is

Christian Fudamentalists

The second largest party is Progressive Reformists
The two parties are in Alliance for Alesenia.

I tried to make my own newspaper <Alesenska Rectum Iter> but failed because I am bad at writing.

I am dreaming of living in a Christian Utopia.

The Utopia is ruled by priests and scientists.
It has three houses,

The Religious House

The Christian Scientist House

and the scientist house.

Christian scientists are scientists who are also fundamentalist Christians .

The word "scientist" also includes technicians,engineers and so on.
All kinds of fashion and unwritten social rules must be abolished!
All kinds of bullying must be abolished!
All kinds of moral relativism must be abolished!

Uh, good luck with goal #2! Not going to happen.
I used to do that. I also use to make maps of imaginary lands, etc. But the novel fell flat because my characters were...Flat. <sigh>
I do poetry better. And your allowed to unleasy your imagination more IMHO.
Plus, Poetry is shorter & more direct.
Bet you could make some words up & use them this way, too!

Sincerely,

I made up a word: "adorability". It is used to describe someone or something's level of cuteness. For example, kittens have "high levels of adorability".

I also use unusual/uncommon phrases for things:

- Riding in the car alone with one other person is called "car time", which is a portmanteau of "car" and "alone time".

- Doing manicures/pedicures with one or more other people is called a "nail party".

- The two throw pillows on my bed are called "special pillows"; likewise, the two throw blankets on my bed are called "special blankets".

- I call the jar of loose change in my room my "rainy day fund"

- I call going online shopping in order to boost my mood "retail therapy"

Hmmm, I often make up words to describe things or actions, but only use these words myself. It helps thast I tend to think out loud a lot. No wonder people don't know what I'm sometimes talking about!

yes I do

When I was in middle school, I started randomly calling out "monkeys on toast!" when either frustrated or excited. I have no idea why or what the meaning was, but that has been my Internet handle and name of all of my blogs ever since. I don't use the handle here, for privacy reasons, but use it pretty much everywhere else.

I do sometimes, but I don't use my made-up words and phrases consistently. I usually blend words together - as a recent example; the weather went from hail to snow last night and I told my sister, "Look outside! It's snailing!"

I did it a lot more frequently when I was younger.

Imho: "Dolchavia" sounds eastern European, and not at all Asian.

In fact its sounds like a cross between "Moldavia" ( a former soviet republic and one time province of Rumania), and 'Wallachia"( a current province of Rumania).

Id pick another name for your generic "Asian country".

Maybe- 'Tempoora'( as in 'chicken tempoora')?

Anyway: when I was kid I used draw maps of imaginary continents with imaginary countries -each with imaginary religions and political ideologies.And would wage wars and invasions between them. Not really into inventing words though.

I have had a nickname for my glasses for years. I have other language 'oddities' like that.

I have my own way to pronounce certain words - for instance prevalent - I say it like "pre-vail-ent". Also I will simply make up words that seem, to me, to very accurately describe what I believe it is. I don't even know I am making up the word.

My mum's side of the family have our own way of saying a few things. I don't think it's Aspie-related. I know an NT who says ''anyroad'' instead of ''anyway''. She always had said it.

But my mum and her two sisters (and me now) call teenagers ''oiks''. Not sure if anyone else has heard that before, but that's what we call them. It's sort of a word but not many people use it.

There are other ways we say different things, but I can't think of any at the moment. When I think of more, I will add them in.

I speak French, so what I have will not necessarly translated very well.

I create some words, for time to time. That which I most often use is "trexcellent", which is "très" (very) + "excellent". That was because I wanted an absolute superlative to "excellent", which already is a superlative term.

Often, is has a bit of a historical flavour. I like using features of the language which were lost. I had a period of using the superlative suffix "-issime", which is inusited in modern French but for a few cases (unlike other Romance languages): "puissantissime", "grandissime", "mochissime", etc.

I also use many words strictly in their etymological meaning; for example, "extraordinaire" for any thing out of the ordinary, without the usual meliorative connotation (e.g. "Hitler was extraordinary.").

I like to use words or concepts from one field in another. For example, I would use "équestre" (in the Roman historical sense, as in "the equestrian order") more or less as I would use upper middle class. In the same way, I like to use "patrician", but although it is ultimately a Roman term, it is more in relation to the higher class of medieval/early modern cities.

In general, I have periods during which I will use certains words a lot. It comes and goes.

All this is for my own pleasure. I don't use any of this when I need to be understood, only in very informal context or with my family.
