[Soylent Brice]

i use plib and flarp a lot.

what say you, Loungers?

plib and flarp just seem so irrelevant anymore.

i was thinking of going with fnog. has a nice ring to it.

1. My favorite word of late is engromulate

(en grahm' u laet)

Both a noun and a verb

Engromulate is a substance made from dried gruel that is smeared into the cracks in flooring to seal them. To engromulate is to engage in the action of using engromulate.


This was a word invented by my daughter and I on a long car ride. We have actually discussed the entire history of gruel as a building material (starting with Mesopotamia and spreading swiftly from there) on many occasions.

Proving once again that some people have way too much time on their hands.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Soylent Brice!

We have the word "nagivate". It's a combo of navigate and nag...

Works for us!

We also have "The California Adequate." (Aqueduct.)

These are as close as we get to nonsense words!

:hi:

[HopeHoops]

13. Shistnostihagen

It certainly SOUNDS like a swear word. Great thing to shout when you really shouldn't yell "FUCKIN' HELL!"

[MrScorpio]

14. I just place "-age" and "-osity" at the end words that don't normally have them

[bif]

19. I use -age as well

with a French pronunciation. As in Beerage. Or carage.

[MrScorpio]

20. Must be a Michigan thing n/t

[azmouse]

15. Hurp

It's a combo of hiccup and burp. I do it a lot.

[meow2u3]

16. My favorite nonsense words

I use murp quite a bit, especially when I'm talking to my cats.

[tango-tee]

17. To describe our employer

we've been using ramalamadingdong a lot among colleagues lately.

[Iggo]

18. Kemfleh

Got it from a comedy bit by Dennis Leary. He was going off about the word "croissant".

Something along the lines of the following:

It's spelled kroy-zant, but it's pronounced kwah-saw. Oh yeah? Well my name is spelled Dennis but it's pronounced kem-fleh. Okay?

[HipChick]

21. Nincompoop

[bluesbassman]

22. Harcum - any nasty, gross, or unidentifiable substance.

Can also be a handy abstract noun, e.g., "That's a load of harcum you're spewing there freeper".

I'm also partial to "kittywampus". Refers to something being out of order, skewed, or just plain effed up. :)
