Made up words

Post Reply New Topic

Who else makes up their own words? Here's a list of some that I have created with definitions and examples:

Nerdgasm: 1.Total euphoria experienced by deep diving into either a much loved topic or something completely obscure for the sheer sake of acquiring new and novel information. Usually preceded by suitably grandiose adjective:

Jerry had a screaming nerdgasm when he got his encyclopedia of tropical skin diseases

2. Extreme info-dumping

when Sally mentioned dog breeding Billy had a massive nerdgasm, he talked about dams, sires and whelping all afternoon.

Sarcgasm: An extended fit of sarcasm, or consistently resorting to sarcasm in conversation.

When I was informed that gazpacho soup is supposed to be served cold Jilly had a sarcgasm that lasted about 15 minutes

Ear-dildo: A cotton bud / Q tip / cotton swab. Named for the immense pleasure of using one to relieve itching in the ear canal.

Pass me an ear-dildo please.

Painbow: A person (usually friend or loved one) who enjoys being difficult or causing low level mental pain or anguish in others for their own amusement; often through the use of poorly timed or bad jokes (including practical) and or intentional contrarianism.

Garry is such a painbow, he soaked all of my underwear and hid them in the freezer.

Simplistiscism, Simplistiscismistic: The concept of making things more difficult, convoluted or confusing by an attempt to simplify.

Terry's efforts to streamline the company's data security protocols were ultimately simplistiscismistic.

Pig Slice: The last slice of pizza which everyone secretly wants, but says they couldn't possibly eat

For the longest time I was using the word contention wrong,

I've used it to mean the feeling of being content, when in fact it means a heated disagreement.

Also, the burps. A sudden fit of uncontrollable burping.

FYI: There is a previous 34-page thread on neologisms (new words)  HERE .

Howbout..."a thesaurus for only those words used in novels written by the Bronte sisters"?

A..."brontesaurus"!

Ones I have were... Not in English.

Have been told I often make up my own words.

Trying to think of examples. Sorry. Mindblank!

I can think of a made up word I often use. Smallerize.

Or debigulate.

Hemposphere

The presence of pot smoke smelling oder in patches of air in random outdoor spots in public places (like streets and subway platforms) in Washington DC that have become common in the year or two since they legalized pot in DC.

"This town has a lot of hemposhere".
