What is your favorite made-up-word?

[Snoggera]

Poll question: What is your favorite made-up-word?

I love saying them five times fast.

[Liberal Veteran]

1. Aren't ALL words made-up?

:shrug:

[Martin Eden]

7. Darn, I was gonna make that point!

Words that were "made up" just a few years ago have since been enshrined in the dictionary.

This process stretches back all the way to the beginnings of human speech (before the dictionary was invented!).

What's that other word he says? Can't remember.

Budweiser has a new ad in response, starring that donkey, but it's kinda lame.

10. Ass-tastic!

Way back in January, I had a thread titled (I think) "I feel Ass-tastic" because I fit into some old jeans that I hadn't worn since 1991. Anyway, my daughter picked up on the word too and has been saying it ever since. It's our funny little word now. :D

Oh, I even found the thread if you're really bored (remember I used to be "populistmom").

15. scrumtrulescent

[SOteric]

16. I have two: "kerfluffle" and "gagacious"

Kerfluffle is any little bit of upset, noise, brouhaha or fracas, a dust-up, even a cyber-donnybrook.

Gagacious is something which inspires the gag reflex in a big way.

It’s a little vigil I’m holding folks, nothing to see here. Move along.

[Lautremont]

22. Blauchup

Which I know is made up because I made it up. The next step is to get it published (done) and the step after that is getting it in the Webster's.

28. "garce" (rhymes with "scarce")

My nephew used this word to mean "scary" when he was learning to talk. My sisters and I still use it to mean something really scary, usually preceding it with the word "ooh".
