“I got a bittle emotional when I saw her again.” or “Thank you, I feel a bittle better now!”
Or does the contraction of bit and little already exists?
Have you invented/coined a neologism before?
Can you come up with one?

About ten years ago I came up with twasted. Twisted + Wasted.
I’ve never heard bittle before, but I like it.
A couple of weeks ago, me and @luiveton coined the term sparky which is the feeling that some straight women get regarding some specific (hint: Fran Drescher) women, when they get a “spark” of a sexual feeling. It’s not that we want to have sex with that woman, it’s something quite different, but the sight or sound or mere presence of that woman makes us get all hot and bothered, even though we’re straight. It’s like that sparky woman is the catalyst. And it usually means that our male SO’s are going to get lucky.
Maybe that’s why my fella always has re-runs of the Nanny playing on his DVR when I go over there ; – P
I combine “dumpster” and “bin” to Binster.
” Bittle” sounds like baby talk, it’s cute.
Awww, whattsa matter Rebbel you feeling a wittle bittle emotional? lol
Perhaps you did. I like my combination of chubby + jumbo = chumbo ....I use it when talking to my cat, often.
@deni Aaaah hahahaha! That’s hilarious!
I stole this from my generation – chill + relax = chillax
My 4 year old daughter came up with a new word of her own, when she was a child. It shocked us the first time we heard it….........................
She did not want to say the main word, so she improvised and called her brother…....
A Vastard!!
@deni I love Chumbo!
It reminds me of what one of the characters on Glee, Brittany, calls her cat: Lord Tubbington.
@MilkyWay – nope, the good old USA. Is that in the UK too?!?
No. You just stole the german expression “bissel” and mutated it.
Obwohl meiner Deutsch sehr gut ist ~, habe ich nimmer mal von bissel gehort, @ragingloli, wirklich wahr!
^Was I the only one who google translated? teehee
@rebbel
It is sort of slang, but it does literally mean “little bit”.
(and instead of “nimmer mal”, you should use “niemals” or “nie”)
You mean the rest of the sentence was correct??? :-)
Wow.
Thank you for the bissel explanation.
@rebbel
two other things: “mein”, not “meiner” and there needs to be an Ö in “gehört”. Or “oe” if your keyboard does not have ö keys. :)
It Was An Itty Bitty Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
Emphasis on Bitty.
When I was a child, playing Scrabble with my parents, I saved and saved for the letters to get the word ‘dimth.’ My parents started laughing, saying it wasn’t a word. I explained that it meant way off in the distance so you could only see faintly. My mom said she knew exactly what I meant, but it wasn’t a word. I never played Scrabble with them again. . . . .so there!
When I was little I came up with the word deliciyum. Delicious and yum put together.
I am a big fan of portmanteaus, or portmanticores as I like to call them, and I’ve made up a bunch. Here are a few of my favorites:
slatternalia – (slattern + Saturnalia) a festival or holiday celebrated with promiscuous group sex
frankensteinway – (Frankenstein + Steinway) a piano made from the corpses of ten pianos
myriannlander – (myriander + Ann Landers) an army ten thousand strong of advice columnists
copaseptic – (copacetic + septic) perfectly shitty
philtrumbrage – (philtrum + umbrage) resentment or annoyance towards unsatisfactory mustache growth on or about the philtrum
sophistory – (sophistry + history) a convincing but intentionally inaccurate or misleading retelling of historical events used to bolster the speaker’s position
sollewitticism – (Sol LeWitt + witticism) a clever statement delivered by or regarding Sol LeWitt
My sister often warns the rest of us when she’s getting “hangry”. I don’t know if she invented that one though.
@Kardamom haaaaahah thats funny too. I love fatty cats.
Am I a Fluther membel, @fundevogel ? Is that a portmanteau?
I like them, and I use them sporadically without knowing what they were, by the way.
@rebbel I think you must be a membbel.
When I was in the 7th grade my best friend and I made up the word “Plurk”. We used it when we needed to adjust our underwear from riding up. We still use it today! almost 30 years later! lol
@rebbel I love the word bittle! I am going to start using it!
@Kardamom wow Fran Drescher? I guess I would have to have earplugs for her but I could get “sparky” over Taylor Momsen… damn sparky ; o
The combo of two frequently used words to create a shorter version meaning the same thing is nothing new. An example is ‘fugly,’ and ‘cankles.’ As in ‘your cankles are fugly’ or ‘your fat ankles are fucking ugly.’
It happens all the time. I say use it as much as possible but it’s just slang.
@judochop Fugly and cankles are both portmanteaus, neither of which have the same meaning as the words they are derived from. Cankles meaning ankles as thick as calves and fugly being an intensified version of ugly.
My sister just offered “clopening” for when you have a closing shift, followed the next day by an opening shift.
Speaking of fugly, I always liked fugmo. Which pretty much means the same thing.
One time when we were cooking we came up with ‘teablespoon’, somewhere between a teaspoon and a tablespoon.
Reminds me of an old friend that told me that they bought a ” self compelling ” lawnmower. lol
twatsam ; noun; twot- sum. def; The puddle in the sheets. Derived from the word flotsam.
@woodcutter is that typically paired with jizzsam or jetcum?
Confustion: _Confusion/frustration in equal meaure.
Mouse Potato: A person who dwells a little too long on the interwebz.
Cupid Stunt: A love rat/cheat, or an act of infidelity.
@ucme ‘Cupid Stunt’. I’m liking that. I’m liking that a lot.
I used to get confused between wrapping and packaging, usually when talking about sweets or food, so it always ended up being ”wrappaging”. It just sounds so much like a real word! I’m pretty sure I used to think it was actually a word.
The lolly is wrapped in packaging…WRAPPAGING! Seriously, can’t we put this into the dictionary?
Thank you all, some nice words you made!
@abysmalbeauty That I didn’t think of that (urbandictionary, that is)..., thanks!
