Have you and your significant other/family/friends invented words?

No, we invent words too. I just can’t think of any right now.

“Spah-ghost-too” I was talking to a friend and went to tell her that I was “suppose to go to” the mall but what came out was “Spahghosttoo”. Another is “Doucher McBagger Nasty”. My friends and I will call each other that in a jokingly derogatory way.

”Your such a Doucher McBagger Nasty”

Dead Frog- that feeling when nothing gets you aroused.

Not invented, but, with the SO, “make cookies” usually means sex.

Lately, we’ve been “making icebox cookies” because it’s so damn cold.

The cure for the “Dead Frog” @Neizvestnaya is to have someone else wippit a bit for you.

wippit wippit

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies: We did experiment and a good dose of Sushi usually kicked the Dead Frog back into life ;p

Yes, and not always on purpose. My younger brother coined the redundant portmanteau “stummy” (a combination of “stomach” and “tummy”) earlier this week.

I’m not good at making words up on my own, but my friends indulge me by making words to fit my definitions. It’s a collaborative effort.

Solter Sauce…it’s what we called a cheese sauce mom used to make for baked potatoes. I’m thinking it came about because we used to have to carry these 40 pound bags of salt into the basement because we had really hard water. The name of the salt was “solar salt,” and….well, I think my little sister made the word up from that!

Thanks to my granddaughter we now call squirrels “squrids.” :)

My eldest daughter’s strawbreeberry for strawberry and my son’s helipotoc for helicopter. Both were very young at the time.

Klavierstein. Can you guess what it means?

The word “Mlurg” kind of evolved with me and my friend. We’d be trying to describe our day to each other…and it just didn’t work. We’d say stuff like “blah” and “Mlech”, and then one day I was telling her about this boring blog, and I accidentally typed “mlurg”. (Yeah, sometimes I get carried away typing fast.) We decided the word describes things perfectly.

When my sister and I were little, we had this really nice doll house which I intend to give my kids, if I have girls. We would try to make the dolls have interesting lives, not like ours (this thinking was probably caused by our older brother, who’s 8 years older than me). But it always ended up that the dolls were exact parallels of the people in our family. We always had an extra doll, though, so that was the Grampa. Well, my sister, who would have to be about 3 or 4 at the time, said “Bumpa” because she couldn’t say “Grampa”. It stuck. 7 years later, we still call him Bumpa.

I have a word wayf on the urban dictionary.

”Wayf is the ultimate expression of being considerate of other people’s point of view, beliefs and choices they make as individuals for their own lives.”

It is the antonym of the phrase “There is no fucking way…” as in no F’in way.

“There is no F’in way that an Atheist will ever accept a Theist point of view!”

“There is no F’in way that I’ll ever try wasabi flavored ice cream!”

But if we put an F in way? We get “Wayf”, demonstrating that anything is possible when it comes to people changing their minds or accepting the views of others for what they are and nothing more.

Cha cha is va jay jay in our house.

@JLeslie – ME TOO! We definitely say chacha, and refer to my male cat’s (former) testicles as “poms”. When he’s acting crazy and running around generally causing trouble, he needs to calm his poms.

@Seelix Really? Huh, I thought we invented it. Funny.

babnar is our code for a hot girl

eg. “Yo, babnar at 4 o’clock”

My fiance and I invented the term “spleeborg” to refer to those girls who are overbleached, overtanned and overdone. You know, the ones whose skin is orange who wear too much makeup and horrible “trendy” clothes… He decided one day that they look like aliens from the planet Spleeborg.

@JLeslie – I thought we invented it too… maybe we both simultaneously invented it :)

Squizzle – when a blanket slides or wiggles off of you. It started when I asked my daughter if she wanted me to tuck her in and she said no b/c the blanket just squizzles off anyway when she turns over in her sleep.

Skoonch – get closer. If my daughter says she has a boo boo, I’ll tell her to skoonch over here so I can look at it. Or one of us will say to skoonch over and cuddle up.

Potchewpourie – this is how my grandmother pronounced “potpourri” the first time she saw it and it just stuck.

@Seelix by any chance are you Latin American?

@Supacase The “squizzle” story made me giggle. So cute!

Mewling – my made up collective noun for a group of kittens. :)

When a friends young son goes into one & looses his temper, she refers to him as “tossing his cookies”
Apparently he threw a packet of cookies in temper once when he couldn’t open them, so now whenever he winds himself up & looses his temper he’s “tossed his cookies”…….. I use it now myself :-/

@JLeslie – Nope, no Latin American blood here! Just a weird coincidence…

@Scooby Uhm, tossing your cookies is a widely accepted phrase synonomous with vomiting.

I have a relative who is ESL who calls her son affectionately cookie, but she pronounces it wrong and it comes out kooky. I’m pretty sure she has no idea that is synonomous with whacky/crazy.

@JLeslie

Really, uhmm, well ya live & learn…. Thanks for that… :-/

@muppetish I don’t think I have ever heard someone use stummy before but I have use the “word” tummach before

@Scooby bless his cotton socks ^_^

@Inked_up_chic

Bless his Curly Teeth too ;-)

Moof. A person who looks weak but is actually tough.
Foom. Opposite of moof.

I thought of another one. Padooped (Puh-dupe-ehd) is when you are so tired you can’t think straight.

@Supacase – good one! I’m feeling pretty padooped right now, actually.

My Dad, brother, and I all call the computer the compooper.

I firmly believe the past tense of squeeze should be squozen

AH @daytonamisticrip That reminds me of “compuger” which is what my son called it when he was 2!
@christos99 Nah. Should be squauzend. Can’t seem to spell that right for some reason! :)

Let’s do a vote! Sqozen or squauzend?

@daytonamisticrip Most definitely Squozen.

We use the word spramp to describe the way cats will sometimes suddenly jump around crazily for no apparent reason. “What is Archer doing?” “I don’t know, he’s just spramping around.” The word originally came from Will and Grace, but I don’t really remember what it was supposed to mean. Spray + something?

There’s also the term ”Worfin’ around”. This came about one day when I was tired and not feeling well, so I was a little giddy. We were watching Star Trek on TV (Next Generation or Deep Space Nine, I forget which) and someone came up to Worf and said “What are you doing?” and Worf turned around to look at them, with his typical serious/angry Worf face, and he didn’t say anything for a few seconds… so I piped up (in my best Worf voice) “Oh, not much, just Worfin’ around.” It was truly hilarious to me at the time, so it’s come to mean “hanging around, not doing much”.

What about suqishened???

LOL @Seelix! I’m still kinda tired cuz I just got up and I found that funny too! Worfin around. Heh!

A new friend of mine invented a word… I am bisexual, and was telling a tale of how I turned my last girlfriend from questionable to gay and she said,

“that’s not gay, that’s HETEROFLEXIBLE”

Love it.

Acabra…Delina…Foxine…Reafo…Javaline…

Now if I could just define these it would be whole a lot better to understand. Yep.
