George Norman says so.

And, crumpatuous? Now there goes a crumpatuous lady. a cracker.

russ watters' word salad (a meaningless string of words; worse than nonsense).

I can't claim the invention of that one. I've seen it many times in forums. I do, however, make up words all the time. I get that from my sister, who can verb-ize any word (turn any noun into a verb).

Anyway, some of my favorite invented words are ones I invent in the politics forum. Ie, "neohippieism".

edit: Related word - hippify: applied to a person, to grow long dredlocks, stop showering, and start smoking pot. Applied to an object - to paint it tie dyed, stop maintining it, and cover it with bumper stickers (whether its a car or not).

dopeler effect - the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Oh yeah - as an engineer, I have "coefficients" and "effects" for everything. Ie:

crackpot coefficient: fraction of posters in a thread who are crackpots.

"I'm outta here - the crackpot coefficient is just too high for meaningful conversation."

Citizen Garmonsway on a sled??
I don't think so..

My best guess so far is http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:SCT5-s1-EhkJ:www.sal.org.uk/fellows/fellowsarea/archive/obituaries/show.php%3Fid%3D74 . I'm taking a break.

Good work!

 

[honestrosewater]

Good work!

What does that mean?! Do you know who it is? This is driving me crazy.

I was only trying to be nice.
After all that hard work, you deserved some sort of recognition.

Woo.


I just found out he taught at King's College.

 

[brewnog]

Words which I may have helped to proliferate:

'Swoonworthy' - something which is so woo that it's worthy of swoons
'Transvestomosexual' - those teenage depressed kids who want to be different, but are in fact just the same as everyone else
'Bumsexual' - Something which is not very good

 

[arildno]

'Bumsexual' - Something which is not very good

Do you really think this will displace excellent terms like ass bandit or butt pirate?

 

[brewnog]

Of course not. It should only stand by them to make them better!

'Ass-hat' is another good one.

 

[loseyourname]

russ watters' word salad (a meaningless string of words; worse than nonsense) and arildno's gurulity and gurulation have me wondering what other jewels PFers can crank out. Share your inventions.

I think I have you all beat. I've invented an entire language to use in a story I'm working on. Your fictional name would be:

Eamara Gioto Kuskadurotkul

The translation isn't exact, though. There is no word for 'rose,' so the last word literally means "flower water."

Does it beat Quenya..

 

[Moonbear]

Here's a word I just made up:
teccident (tek-sih-dent) n. an accident that results from someone distracted by technology.

For an example of a teccident waiting to happen, see this thread.

 

[hypatia]

cueet, like the outfitters pack I just got. Its pink and purple, making it cute. And it holds a tent{flip flop and its set up} a small table{all rolled up}, a comfy chair, with matching mess kit! Which makes it neet!
cute/neet=cueet!

 

[loseyourname]

I never really liked Quenya as much as Sindarin myself.

 

[Learning Curve]

Chillax= chill + relax. its fun to say. go ahead... try it...there you go...

 

[vincentm]

throw the hands = fist fight

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I always appreciate a little self defecating humor.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

witlessism. Something like a witicism, only different.

 

[JamesU]

Of course not. It should only stand by them to make them better!

'Ass-hat' is another good one.

you are forgetting 'ass-master'
