this post the denae made caused me to start this thread...

is there a word you'd like to add to the english language? HBO used to have "sniglets" in the early days on "not necessarily the news." and a friend of mine coined the term "combonym" to classify words like "fucktard."

i've contributed "cofloperation" to the poker world to describe the degree to which the flop helped or harmed your hole cards in hold'em.
 
I've finally found my purpose in life. Cofloperation is a great word!! Much, much better than corntilla.
 
Ooh! Cool thread! Being a word player all my life, I've come up with and come across a few, though I can't recall them at the moment. One of my favorite wordplays is to use words that sound correct but are totally wrong, for instance:

Recumbent bicycle would become repugnant, incumbent, etc.

The unfortunate side affect is that now when I need the right word, it escapes me. :eek:
 
infoxication:That slightly giddy feeling you get when you see a truly hot woman.

My sister is always going on about her erotic driving.
A friend of my niece once commented that she was an atheist, my niece's reply "That's cool, my neighbour has bees too."
 
Altiphobia:The irrational belief that most of the people posting are all the same person.

Erotic driving?

Maybe I could work on this and be an erotic driving instructor? Hmmmm....
 
"blicky" is a word i used by accident once to describe a far less than optimal state of being. i was IM'ing a friend when i was in college and changed from typing "blah" to "icky" mid-word.
 
Our "blicky" was always "erpy" ... as in "I feel erpy" or "I feel like I'm going to throw up, very erpy". It's a mangled word from feeling like one is going to "erp" or be sick. *nods* People look at me like I'm nuts when I use it. :D
 
Our family had "hippy con or cuss(?)" Never spelled it before. That giddy sense of anxiety and anticipation, where you find it hard to sit down, waiting for something good to happen.

I'll have to share this one with my sister, she loves bees too! Damned atheists! :D :D




How about quolndary - To be between a rock and a hug place. ;) ;)
 
i like this thread. i'm sure i've got something to contribute but it's too damned early and the caffeine just isn't hitting me. i call that undercaffeination, but i think this one's already a word, no?

I live in a constant (and woefully self-induced) state of undercaffeination but it looks like a good word to me.

I'm sure that the creaky recesses of my brain hold a neologism or two as well; will have to get the favorite subbie to put on the French maid's outfit and do some dusting to see if anything turns up.

While she's dusting, she can look for your AV.

or... how about "quolldinary"... as in "i found the above post to be a quolldinary response." it means, the requisite and anticipated photoshopped graphic left by our dear friend from down under.

edit to add:
i can't let this go... Q-ball is how mr. and mrs. Q came up with the latest mini-Q. ;)

I goofed....I misread your post and thought that it was from EJ and so I was actually asking about using one of his formerly unpopular avs. :eek:

Been using this one for a few days now: Chuckleriffic. It describes the sort of reaction I have to reading phunny threads (such as this), which is somewhere between an outright gaffaw and a tickle.

I find this to be a nippleriffic word.
 
Thanks to the guy from the land of quolls and bilbies, I am going to the ladies' room and have a little mimi. :eek:
 
If you can find the naughtiness in something completely innocent, you have been Litified.

My Litification has been complete for some time now.

'ignant' short for ignorant. One time we had to go somewhere on the railroad and bring back some coal empties. We stopped on the way, walked down the embankment to a White Castle and went up to the drive-up window. As we were waiting for our order someone in a car was yelling at us. The clerk said, " never mind them, they be ignant."
