My made up word... Uh... "Re-Cog". Means Re-running of the mind's cogs. |

I recently accidently invented the word "Arschwixxbirne", which is german for...well, "asscumpear". Don't ask what or why, it just suddenly came out of my mouth...the word, not the asscumpear. According to recent reports, the word has spread in popularity, and an entire elementary school has taken to using the word...ugh, that's just fucked up. Hope that doesn't lower your opinon of me too much. |

Meta humor requires that we make up a word meaning "made-up word". Since I have delusions of having classical integrity, I'll put effort into this. The most erudite word I know for "made up/imaginary" is "chimerical". Pub's source of affection, "neologism", is distinctly Greek. I hate it when pseudosophs mix up Greek and Latin etymological roots, so I had to make sure that chimera has Attic roots. Apparently it does, but via Latin. The Greek form is Chimaira, so I guess the best candidate is "chimairalogism". I don't really like it, but we take what we can, right? In English, by the way, Chimera came to us via Latin through Wyclif's Prologue (I assume to his translation of the bible, which landed him in deep shit because of the theological conventions he inserted to his own ends). His use: "Beestis clepid chymeres, that han a part of ech beest, and suche ben not, no but oonly in opynyoun"*. The problem is that he was talking about a specific mythological animal, and the word didn't come to mean "fantastical" until the late 16th century. But, when I was reading Hume he used the word ALL THE FUCKING TIME in that sense so I stand by it. *Late Middle English, Londonian dialect, for "Beasts called Chimeras that had parts of each [other] beast, but didn't exist except in opinion." Here, "opinion" means more like "what they thought" than "a personal stance". (My amateur translation.) |

apparently, the guy in my dream was telling someone to get off of him, telling another guy that he was being all "caressive". As in, "to caress." I guess you had to be there. |

I woke up today because schimid was laughing hysterically and he told me that I suddenly got this huge grin in my sleep. And it was because I had a dream that one of his friends who's always trying to be intellectual said this ridiculous word while trying to be smart and I told him the word but since it was a dream I don't remember it now. Maybe he can come in later and let you all know what it was ;< |

| Pub Lover | I want to fuck Simon Pegg. ;( | |
| Jan 29th, 2008 12:44 AM | ||
| Sacks | Yes, and do you derive pleasure from this 'boob'ing? | |
| Jan 29th, 2008 12:43 AM | ||
| chemquat |
i started using the word "boob" as a verb. as in: i wanna boob that guy. that eventually led to GILB: guy i'd like to boob. to clarify, boob was never euphamism for sex. boob started as a comment i made about simon pegg: i love simon pegg. i don't want to necessarily eff him, i just want to hang out with him a little, maybe rub my boobs on him some. |

I knew a co-worker who had a knack for inadvertently coming up with new and strange words. He didn't mean to; I think he had some weird form of dyslexia. Some that I can remember: Remorsing Deboggled Appetizable Fuck. We had a whole whiteboard full of them, but that's all I can remember.

| JediScum | Once I was a roadie for a band, and after the end of their set Jimbo yells "Stick around for FAGATRON!" Weird, cause they didn't have fag or tron in their name and the band didn't have any problems with them (until that night). | |

| Fat_Hippo | In my family we occasionaly use the word "Zwöl" which is mix of the german word "zwei", meaning 2, and the danish wörd, "øl", meaning beer, so it means 2 beers. It's usually used by my parents in the context of "Hey, go get us 2 beers!". I'm like their official beer-fetcher or something...*grumble* | |
