- squee! - it's a happy mary word... and makes a great noise!
- monumentous - the mixing of monumental and momentous. from hoarders, because i love that show. did i already say that one?
- vengeant - one can be vengeful, or have vengeance. i had no idea this wasn't actually a word! it is now, damnit.
- gruntled - derek and i use this when neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, yet feeling more than a ho-hum status.
- disgustation - a state of being to describe when you've totally fucking had it. disdain and frustration and anger combine to reach disgustation.
- blah-bitty-blah - my general fill in word for stuff. it comes in really handy when i have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about or lose track of my own sentences.
- domexcavate - the purging of shit in your house that you probably didn't even know was there. this could also be called domestivation.
- frizzie - a juice and fizzy water drink, in honor of my new-fangled gadget that i bought for the house.
- craptastic - thank you once more, mary. this word could be bad in an extreme case, but almost always alludes to something that is so bad, awful, or tacky that it's good. in fact, it's terrific! no, it cannot be used to describe a cosby sweater. yes, it can be used to describe your hideous sheets.
- fercockety - again, i thought this was an actual word. again, i may have already listed this one. it's like being all kerfuffled and wonky.
- quoi - another state of being. it's a real word, but in this instance used to tell someone that you're completely taken aback and befuddled. you can also use it as a veto measure on someone's fashion sense or cooking skills... i say it to myself in this way sometimes.
- epiphanetic - i say this when i'm feeling inspired, usually right after i leave the bathroom. too much info for ya?
i doubt i've made up any new curse words (unless you count sofia coppola) that i can remember off the top of my head. that's more of a spontaneous thing that happens when i'm in pain from stubbing my toe or getting a paper cut. if anything cool comes out during the next impromptu "fuck!" variation, i'll let you know. i'm all about the slanguage.
you should totally tell me all about your favorite made up words and phrases. it's just the kind of thing we could collect into an informative pamphlet for megan's birthday. and yes, i know about urban dictionary and other sites like that. and yes, i do read nerdy wordy books and giggle out loud. so does megan. she's my linguist role model. i just hope she writes a book with lots of semicolons in it someday, just for me.
it might be risky:
should ayn rand be film noir radio play comedy?

I submit for your approval "Fan-damn-tastic".
This was said to me as a compliment by one Mr. Jonathan Scott Chinn. Yes, the nerdy guy who used to work at the NPR station in Tulsa and told us about the weather conditions every morning. That man had the cleanest shoes on the planet. Anyway, it's a great way to show that something is more than merely fantastic. I suppose it could also be used sarcastically, but I haven't had the heart to try it. It would taint the memory, you see.
anything where you splice a word with a swear qualifies as fan-damn-tastic to me.
