Words For The 21st Century

Posted: Jul 6, 08 9:04am

We've all been at a loss for words at times, and even though there probably exists a word to describe what we are thinking or feeling, wouldn't it be fun to make up our own? Hey, its English. Its what we do.

Some "general" rules:

Please try to have it make sense. If it takes a little 'splainin, thats cool.

Use it in a sentence if necessary, or if it just makes it funnier.

Try to stay away from redefining existing words. Thats been done before.

But if its funny? Well......

Be creative. Guess that goes without saying, considering the quality of comments from all of you wonderful TBDers.

I'll start:

That guy sure is "airyudite"

Def: He is a well read moron.

Randy, I think I'm going to love this group as long as no one starts posting Erotic literature. (just kidding) LOL.

Oh, this ought to be fun, Randy! Every once in awhile my sister and I will come up with some witty words. Let me check with her and see if she remembers some of them we've already put together. LOL Now I've got to put my thinking cap on and I'll get back to you. Thanks for inviting me!!

Do made-up collectives count?

I went to the beach last week hoping to see a jiggle of beauties. Unfortunately, all I saw was a waddle of fat folks.

Word: k'aint

Definition: A contraction of cannot, a variation of can't and it reeks of Southern hospitality.

I k'aint keep up with the antics of TBD'ers.

And I'll be back tomorrow to see how creative AND if we will use a word.

But the world could use a little more "pornetry"

Poetic Erotic literature, that is.
