Newly coined words

[Silas Thorne]

Wasn't sure where to put this one. Thought it might be good to have a thread for invented words. Please write a sentence using your new word if possible, or use it in a paragraph.

An example:

'angrify', as in:
Words can't express how much you angrify me.

It doesn't matter much if there is an established word that fills the gap, so long as you can in some way explain how to use your word.

[Virgil]

I think this is great idea for a thread. But the word "angrify" is an absolutely horrible word. :lol: I don't think I will ever ever use it.

[Epistemophile]

'Epistemophile'

I am an epistemophile.:)

[LittleToe]

Manyways, combination of Many and anyways, used as "Manyways, What are we going to do today?"

Anywho, I use it a lot, but I'm not sure whether it's been coined?

Mawsome, used as "Wow, that's so Mawesome!"

[Silas Thorne]

Little toe, you've made a delectably tantriffic start! I muchly scrov your weevlings. :)

Sorry, just losing it a little. Words, words, words, clawing at me and pulling me under...

[dingyjoe]

nishstuf.

no idea what it means!

[Trilaque]

Hogsmesh Ubershlong


It means the same as poppycock.

Anthony Burgess essentially creates his own sociolect. Lots of newly coined words there, though not neccesarrily used outside the context of the book not sure if it counts.

Whatever works and whatever you take from it is good. I heard that Clockwork Orange had many words that were Russian, or modified from Russian.

I remember reading a great science fiction book, that I sadly can't remember the name of, where the main character was an alien and he used to use the word 'grok' ,in the sense of 'to understand'.

I looked at the picture but could not grok it.

I thought I invented a new word in verbage, which is verbiage+garbage, but I found out someone invented it first.

What a lot of substanceless verbage!

I have a friend that always forgets what everyday things are called. Her remedy is to come up with some nonsensical name for whatever it is she's looking for. Once I've figured out what she's talking about, she tries to convince me that her nonsense word is actually a name for the item in some other country. The best one I can remember was when she told me salad tongs are called scrabdabblers in Papua New Guinea.

Soresome. I like the potential of this word. Now you can read people's works, really bad works and grimace inside but speak honestly when you look them in the eye and smile through gritted teeth, "That's soresome!"

You're an inspiration Silas

talikogenic= adj., just looks good from behind;)
from our word 'likod' meaning back and the English word photogenic.;)

[Silas Thorne]

That's a good one. I might use it. :)

[LostPrincess13]
