From the Merriam Webster dictionary website. (Anyone have any others?)

What a lovely bunch of vocabularians (persons who make up new words) you are! Lasterday (refers to any day before today) we squinched (action required to fit something into a space that is slightly too small) a schmiglet (a small unit of measurement) of your awesomtastic (so wonderful the words just meld in your mouth) one-of-a-kind entries into this space in preparation for our Top Ten reveal. With so many chizzy (awesome, super, happening) creations to choose from, we admit to becoming a bit flusterpated (a state of being flustered that's so intense, one's actions and words become bound up) and fahoodled (confused, esp. when trying to think of too many things at once). We craughed (to cry and laugh simultaneously), we troddled (to wander around without knowing of doing so), and finally decided to use the schwack (a large amount) of multiple entries received as the basis for the Top Ten—this is, let's not forget, all about favoritism.

From the thousands of submissions we received, here, then, are the ten words (not in the dictionary) entered the most often:

Top Ten Favorite Words (Not in the Dictionary)

4. chillax (v): chill out/relax, hang out with friends

5. cognitive displaysia (n): the feeling you have before you even leave the house that you are going to forget something and not remember it until you're on the highway

6. gription (n): the purchase gained by friction: "My car needs new tires because the old ones have lost their gription."

7. phonecrastinate (v): to put off answering the phone until caller ID displays the incoming name and number

9. snirt (n): snow that is dirty, often seen by the side of roads and parking lots that have been plowed

I'm pretty sure 'ginormous' is in my dictionary. I'll check later.

Chav, chavtastic and chavette recently made it into the OED, I'm told. Yay!
 
I'm still confused as to why webster put ain't in the dictionary... :confused:

At least it starts the definition with this disclaimer "Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated"
 
So are you telling me my doctor lied to me when he said i needed to chillax for my high blood pressure?

I love it! The definition is even awesomtastic! :rofc: (rolling on floor craughing)
 
Yeah I think the only word on that list I may have used would be "ginormous"

Woops I have probably used w00t before!

I'm more a fan of "twunt" myself, but I won't go into that one.
