It aint in the dictionary, but it should be

My freshman honor's English teacher was fond of marking "cyhjcnw" on our papers, alongside the usual circles where punctuation should be. What did it mean?

Congratulations. You have just coined a new word.

So, this thread is to celebrate the words we use, but shouldn't (and I don't mean the four-letter kind).

My personal favorites are

Booyah: exclamation of triumph.

Ginormous: bigger than either gigantic or enormous

Humongo: fat to the point of being huge

Fantabulous: better than fantastic or fabulous

What are your favorite not-words?

My least favorite:

Disrespecting: the action of showing little regard.

I hate it. What do you hate?

Schmexy!

Ubergeek!

Uberschmexy!

Uberschmexygeek!

Shneaky and/or shneaky woo

shmex/shmexy/ooh la la shmex

lurve/lurvnoe/lurvely

schism

Effing.

Yup, definitely "effing."

Areida, "schism" is in the dictionary.

Thingymajig

craptacular: an object that is so crappy, it is spectacularly crappy.

manlac: the act of suckling milk out of a mans boosum. Or trying to.

Not the way we use it in Rhetoric... *laughs*

Whenever somebody does a good job on a speech or something and we're clapping, we all call out "schism" like "bravo!" or "great job", except we pronounce it shi-zum.

Git-git-goo-git <A word that I use for every and any occasion.

Conflabbit <a substitute for god dammit.

Dickaslic < what I call my friend Justin

Confizzled= confused

Craptastic: Same def. that Qi used.

roxxorz: rocks, its awesome

its internet slang butchered into the english language!

I will commit sepoku the day internet slang is incorporated into the dictionary.

I agree, QiGuaiGongFu...especially since many of these words are just slang variations of current words..not that I don't use slang or anything.

It's kind of hard to not use slang on a basketball court...

"Excuse me sir, please throw the basketball to me..." sounds impossibly lame...more like

"Yo dawg toss me da rock!" That's hardcore right there...

I'm going off on a tangent...

--Q

If someone said, "Yo dawg, toss me da rock" I'd find a big rock and throw it at them ... but that's just me.

"Nyah nyah nyah nyah!" pronounced: neeh-yah
- an expression of the ultimate nerdiness of the speaker.

- an expression of satisfaction.

"Weasle" pronounced: wee-sel

A special weasel, thats a new one
