Do you make up words that noone else uses?

Question

I call my dogs "idgits"...which means stupid idiots. I dont think anyone else ever uses that word but me. I sometimes say "footards" which means F'n Ret*rds. I know it aint nice, but I sometimes come up with really weird slangs and words from a slip of the tongue, but I continue to use them. You got one?

Answer 1

Yes.

When my grandson, Caleb, was little and would mess up the
living room. I would say that it had been Calebized. My family calls kraut and weinners Crap and weinnies, pork chops are chi chops, apples are bapples, bannas are nanners, and always the good southern favorites taters and maters.

Answer 2

I've heard idgits! I have definitely made up some words in my life time. I can't think of any of mine at the moment, but I do recall one a friend of mine came up with during a night out drinking-Gleamious. I LOVE IT, and use it once in a while just to keep it alive. You know, like fabulous, terrific, gleaming+glamourous or somethin. Whatever, we were intoxicated.

Answer 3

My friends and make up words all the time, it usually comes from a time we would say something the wrong way and then continue to use that word for the word we ment to say. It is always fun to be talking about things and no-one else knows what you are talking about, like an inside joke.

Dingledork is fun to say when referring to someone who is annoying you. Shootfirefuzzin' is also fun to say when you are frustrated. Rascalrat is an interesting word to call children. By the way, idgit (spelled ijit) is a real word. It is used to describe uneducated people.

Answer 5

Pyhtagorize: to use the Pythagorean theroem to find the missing side of a right triangle (given two of the sides). I use it in class whenever we do the Pythagorean theorem.

Ex: You know how tall the tower is, and how far from the ground its support wire is? Then just Pythagorize to find the length of the wire.

i have 2 children so we have all types of made up words

my 10year old used to call her BATHING SUIT a baby soup - it has now transformed to a "babysuit" because "bathing" doesn't make sense if you are really going swimming but all babes have to wear them (at least that's what she tells me)

Also "badoobas", which is refer's to a guys parts as in: He's got big badoobas to try that stunt. (My daughter did NOT come up with that one!)

Answer 11

MARF -- it can mean anything. It's just a word I say whose meaning changes depending on my mood. For example, if I'm busy washing dishes, my AOL Messenger status reads "Marfin..."
