What things does there need to be a word for, and what should that word be?

There needs to be a new word as versitile as the f-bomb, but easier to slip into everyday conversation with my grandmother.

Those are called neologisms, and I never have to ask other people. I always create my own through etymological and word-formation knowledge.

Perhaps we should call forum posters who have uberhuge postcounts "Spoffin". It could be used like so:

"Did you see that chap with 10,000 posts? He's such a Spoffin!"

:D

Why not further disguise the etymology by making it an adjective.

And using british country bumpkin words.

"Did you see the spoffish chap what had 10,000 posts?"

Techloquphobia. Cookie for first one to find out what it means.

Or we can use it as an adverb!

"What a spoffinly lampshade that is, darling! I simply must have it for our parlor!"

A word for orange-purple that isn't either 'weird red' (light, usually) or 'mucky browny' (pigments).

Or a verb. Spoffing: the act of posting a large amount.

Or a verb. Spoffing: the act of posting a large amount.

Why not modify the verb to create a noun?

"I always knew he was an utter spoffer, and now I have proof!"

No, that's just plain ridiculous.

what does that colour look like? Can you find a picture/ upload one?

No, because viewing the colour through a computer screen makes it look red, as far as I can tell... the only place I've come across it is by mixing purple and orange nylon doll hair together in equal proportions. When it's mixed just right it's this gorgeous... colour, which has no name, which annoys me. I guess it's because the two colours remain separate (unlike in a pigment medium), but not so separate that they're obvious... I might try an take a photo later on, but I doubt it'll work.

No, that's just plain ridiculous.

:D I aim to please...

My favorite new word is "J'eet" as in:

"Are you hungry or J'eet already?" or "What J'eet for dinner last night?"

Rueben(n)-A piece of information or trivia that is common knowledge amongst most people and yet is still treated as if it is 'special' or 'little known' by the speaker.(example 1) When refering to other cultures it is usually indicated by over-pronounciation. (example 2)

Example 1:Gets its name from Pee Wee Herman's real name. Thus, "Well, his real name is Paul Rueben, and he was a waiter in The Blues Brothers...."

Example 2: "The japanese mafia is known as the Ya-Koo-zaa"

I want a word for the back of the knee.

an eenk possibly?

it would only work for people who post SERIOUSLY, no mindless spammer should be called a spoffin.

I take it you're not from Pittsburgh?

These needs to be a word for that horible cold sinking feeling that you get when you realised you have just f**ked something uo in a very bad way.

Clearly the best neighbours character has to be Charlene, it's Kylie fer godsakes!

SNART: Definition: Sneezing and farting at the same time.

Crubbiles - (aka toaster leavin's or crumbs in the butter) one of my own.
Chronological Idiocy - repeated incidents of idiocy

Thingy - the hard plastic things at the end of your shoelaces

adding "age" to a word can make it a whole new word!!

ie:
Drinkage
Foodage
Sweetage
Weedage....

Thingy - the hard plastic things at the end of your shoelaces

Thingy gets misused as a word to describe something you can't remember ...

That too...

How about, bish. Theres a new slang insult.
"You stupid Bish" Sounds good.

STRUNK

An Irish word describing the condition of being both drunk and stoned at once

*nods* nice one.

I don't know how common this is but "bifkin" is the part of the male anatomy which lies between his ass and scrotum

(sorry for bringing down the tone of the conversation!) :)

How odd. I thought I was the only one to use this term for that particular body part.

A good place for new words is Rogers Profanisarus. You can find it here:

Larmish: The feeling that you get in the mornings or on the toilet where you think that your arms are much longer than you remember them to be.

zwaffeling - playfully hitting another (preferably unsuspecting) person in his/her face with your penis

Thingy - the hard plastic things at the end of your shoelaces That, you scurvy dog, is called an aglet. Yes, there's already a word. Thanks to Tom Cruise, some people call them Flugelbinders.
I don't know how common this is but "bifkin" is the part of the male anatomy which lies between his ass and scrotum Also has a word already - perinium. Bifkin is a more recent slang, it's also been referred to as geish, choad, fotch, and a number of other not-so-amusing terms.

Why do you know this?

Why do you know this? It's what happens when you grow up well read and educated. Or.. you know, you chewed on so many of them as a child you finally wonder what the hell they were. Take your pick. The Tom Cruise reference is due to an old flick titled Cocktail, I believe it was. Some good exchanges between primary actors.. bad movie. It is the #1 reason I hate a particular song, in fact.

Ah... must be the chewy part.

I think the question should be:
Why don't YOU know this?

I thought everyone knew this! ;)
BTW the holes the laces go into are called eyelets.

Suckage - being possessed of a large amount of suck. :D

i.e. - You had to take thirteen drunk students to hospital then your girlfriend yelled at you? Total suckage, man.
