The Word Invention Thread

[13]

This is a game I played with a co-worker to pass the time ... until she got fired. You take a phrase and make a word for it.

Example:
Swamp + ass = "Swass"

Go.

[Lane Meyer]

I nominate Basom (?) for:

ass + hat = asshat.

I respectully thank Will Farrell for:

three + five = threeve

[Stikki]

Example: Swamp + ass = "Swass"

Unless your name is Sir-Mix-A-Lot and it's the late 80's, you didn't invent nuthin'.

Some Wild Ass Silly Shit

[The Reverend Floater]

My friends and I have tried to create a few words, hoping that they'd catch on to mainstream so that we could eventually take credit for them. Nothing has worked so far:

Nifkin: grundle, durf, space between the balls and the butt
Kneeshooters: Saggy boobs
Canadian bacon: Big nipples

Let me know if they ever reach your area.

One of my good friend's brother is gay, and he always gets pissed when we throw the world around to mean "not cool" (i.e. that's so fucking gay!)

We tried to tell him we were really saying "ghey", but he didn;t buy it. then one night we were all watching the Simpsons through a haze of blue smoke, and Bart invented the word "qwijybo" (meaning = big dumb balding north american ape with a short temper), and we tried to throw that one around for a year or so "that's so fucking qwijybo!). Um, it didn't work.

poo + holes = pujols

I say gay so much that I have had to come up with other things to replace it with so I don't sound so redundant........my choices:homosexual.....homoerotic........or my personal favorite..Guy on Guy
as in "that movie was so guy on guy".............................................. ...

I'm pretty sure my friend is responsible for inventing the word "late"...replacing "later" when saying goodbye...........anyone use/hear this.....or can dispute my claim to his invention

[Lane Meyer]

Whoa - where did all that code come from in your quote?

I've heard people here say "late" since I first moved here in 2000. I think California can soundly claim that phrase over Detroit, although I had nothing to do with inventing it.

[house]

havem. in high school we drank beer so much that beer just became 'em' and the act of drinking became 'havinem.' seems easier to get your point across by just saying "havem?" than to say "hey how bout we all go get some beer and drink it?"

heinoussey. you know youve all made a batch of it up before. few buddies and i raided one of our parents likky cabinet and made a bottle full of the most heinous mixture of spirit imaginable. i think the triple sec and bourbon had a fight in the bottle and the vodka and rum did nothing to stop it. anyway, there was some hennessey in there, so it came to be known as "heinoussey"

ill see if i can remember any non booze related words....

[dipstik]

nothing new...but has the word "spelunking" acquired any alternate meanings outside the state of massachusetts?

I was perplexed when I came to college and was the only one who laughed when the prof mentioned he was intrigued by spelunking.

I think so ... We routinely called my friend Jesus an "ass spelunker" in college.

Code: I have some nefarious program on my computer that turns certain things people type into a link to whatever it was they typed. so when stikki typed "the simpsons" my computer offers me a link to some sort of simpsons related page.

re late: the alleged inventor of the word first used it in 1989...............
pre 1989.......anyone ,........bueller

so is that the deal with all the ...........'s?

no I think he has narcolepsy and he keeps falling asleep.

Most of mine are directed towards women.

I should prolly keep them to myself

For many years now I have been at the forefront of a grassroots campaign to bring "combobulated" into the modern lexicon. You often hear someone that got confused saying they got "discombobulated" by I have never heard anyone use it without the prefix to indicate that they've really got it together.

Anyone for a :combobulated: smiley?

who created the stupendiforiculous adjective that is "redonkulous"

That's a basom creation, as far as I know.

[A-wreck]

yes, My excessive...ing and marlboro reds are both killing me. I'm trying to cut back on both

[The Reverend Floater]

That's a basom creation, as far as I know.

I don't know...it's pretty common around these parts. Other variations include redongulous, recockulous, rebongulous (to describe extreme highness) and several others.

Skasian= scandalous asian, spelling adjusted for pronunciation.

Origin: The large numbers of scandalous asian girls I knew in high school, also applies very well to the main population of belltown on any given weekend.

Variation:skay-skay, as invented by my gangsterous friend Denario, who had a penchant for repeating the first syllable of a word and calling it good.


Disclaimer - this is not directed at all asian girls, just the scandalous ones, and should in no way be taken to insult any non-scandalous asians, girl or otherwise.

My favorite made up word is "strategery," coined by Will Ferrell playing George Bush.

As far as "late" or "later" goes, I remember using that in Jr. High which was around the mid 80's. My old roomate uses it to mean "somethings not good." Like, "I just busted my toe." The response = "Late!" Surfer jive.
