What are your fauxcabulary favorites?

Well, irregardless is a fun one, because it’s ridiculous. “Lawdy” is a good one (lordy) and a fave from the hillbilly town where I attended high school… deflicted. Yep. They really thought it was a word, which is what’s so sad about it. Still hilarious though.

Lurve, of late. Lately.

My dad gave me a new one the other day:

Palindrone = the husband of the Governor of Alaska

And then there is a friend of mine’s husband who is always having prostrate problems, while she suffers from arthuritis.

Addictionary is a great website if you like playing around with words.

Oh! A new one I heard recently and can’t get enough of… slunt. For a woman who is both a ____ and a ____.

I’m slow today. Can you fill in the blanks? With examples?

@Mr_M @all; I like to use “fluthering” both as a verb, and as a gerund. Does that count?

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person that doesn’t understand it.

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

Fauxcabulary bugs me. It’s just a pet peeve of mine. Everytime I hear “irregardless”, “conversate”, or “misunderestimate”, I cringe a little.

@The_Compassionate_Heretic Oh god, conversate is the worst!

Lastly, I can’t stand when people refer to a couple with a single named combining the two names. Bennifer, Brangelina, etc are like nails on the chalkboard for me.

@dverhey Liked it. It just inspired this: What do you call a Hillbilly astronaut? Re-enternation.

I can’t stand when people spell words wrong in writing but I love making up words. My boss uses this word a lot to describe when we are just going through the motions. Not sure if it’s real: lackadaisicle. It’s hilarious. I also love conversate, gymnatorium and confuzled.

“Lackadaisical” is a real word.

I like the word fauxcabulary actually…

I hate words that are “fauxcabulary” that people use like they’re ACTUALLY words…like irregardless and conversate….

I do make UP words though…and blend words…I can’t think of any right now because I just use them naturally so I can’t really remember them off the top of my head

@qualitycontrol Lackadaisical is a word. A fun one too!

Edit: @Jeruba JINX!

Lackadaisical, my dear @qualitycontrol is when you just don’t have the right flower handy, but settle for a popsicle instead.

@quality control
How about a cafegymitorium? Uff-da-mia.

@kruger_d I liked going to do my laundry at this place that had tv screens and a bar. What would that be called?

Even though it is listed in the dictionary for some odd reason, I’m going to list it anyway because it is an unusual word that I still happen to like. And I still think highly of Mary Poppins after all these years.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

That’s supercalifragilistic*x*pial*a*docious. Sorry.

Northern Midwest people use “flustrated” a lot. It makes me cringe.

riCOCKulous instead of riDICulous.

@aviona Oh but that’s just hilarious!

redunkulous…. I don’t know where that came from but I hear it all the time.

My mother says “Stupendarious” and to be honest I have absolutely no idea what it’s supposed to mean….

Scrumtrulescent.

you use it for something that makes Gandi look like a child pornographer

Don’t forget “Ignoranus” – meaning someone who is both stupid AND and asshole.

@McBean Liked it!

I always liked “Let’s Blast this Pop-sicle Stand!” for“Let’s beat it.” (That’s split, go away, leave – not the Michael Jackson way of beating it.)

Sorry. I was off topic.

Skeet…Skeet…Skeet

and i ain’t talkin’ ‘bout shootin’ no clay pigeons

Smatterwichu?

@Blondesjon Lil’ Jon always tells the truth.

@Zen Kwitcherbellyakin.

haha, well once again I feel like a jackass. thank you, thank you ;)

Octomom

@aviona That made me laugh. It reminded me of when I used to listen to Loveline on the radio.

These are my personal words, that I made up, that are used to talk to, or describe, my cats.

1. Fluffericious
2. Fuzzyometer/Fluffyometer
3. Fuzzylicious
4. Punty Used solely to describe the first baby kitty my wife and I adopted, aka Flower.
P uppy: because she always followed us around when she was a kitten)
b UN ny—: because she is soft like a bunny Really
kit TY : because she is a kitty.
5. A variation on Punty, is Pumontox, which adds MO nkey: because when she stretches out all the way, her body looks like a monkey’s body; f OX: because she has a very long, fluffy tail, and she is quite sly when playing with the other cats.

I could go on, and on, but I’ll save myself the embarrassment.

Damn. This took a long time to write.

Well, there’s always discluding which I always thought sounded like a word. Of course, who doesn’t like the occasional funner or awesomer?

Floo•ping- I’m not sure what it means, but it sure sounds cool! :)

Pandelirium – crazy confusing
Kildt – past tense of kill

A blumpkin is performing oral sex on a fella while he is sitting down to use the toilet.

Fantabulous
Chingadero
Whoseywhatsit
Ginormous
Fuggedaboutit

@Bluefreedom Oh yes, I am a big fan of the Whoseywhatsit and things that are Fantabulous. ;)

@essieness Topadamornintoya.

@Zen – So you used to go to Dino’s Duds N’ Suds in Drumheller, too? Quart-cooler night was always something special.

@Darwin Aye.

@Zen – Laundry, beer and televised hockey – What else could one need for a perfect Saturday night in the wilds of Alberta?

@Darwin Can’t think of anything else: You nailed it!

i wish i could remember all the words i make up. i make up songs, and add my own words to them, and sing to my cats. they love it.
oh, and whatevs is one i used to say a lot. i still do sometimes, not seriously of course.

@casheroo Write it down, or buy a cheap but good recording device, or call home and leave a message with your thought or song.

I do all three, actually.

My youngest daughter made up ‘deliciyum’ to describe great tasting food.
