ffloWebster's Top Ten Favorite Words (Not in the Dictionary)
[#3 I shall forever associate with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
upsidedownblue]:
1. ginormous (adj): bigger than gigantic and bigger than enormous
2. confuzzled (adj): confused and puzzled at the same time
3. woot (interj): an exclamation of joy or excitement
4. chillax (v): chill out/relax, hang out with friends
5. cognitive displaysia (n): the feeling you have before you even leave the house that you are going to forget something and not remember it until you're on the highway
6. gription (n): the purchase gained by friction: "My car needs new tires because the old ones have lost their gription."
7. phonecrastinate (v): to put off answering the phone until caller ID displays the incoming name and number
8. slickery (adj): having a surface that is wet and icy
9. snirt (n): snow that is dirty, often seen by the side of roads and parking lots that have been plowed
10. lingweenie (n): a person incapable of producing neologisms
The definition of "snirt" doesn't seem right---or the word for that stuff, or something. I gather there may be a need for a word like "phonecrastinate," though, at least if a common phenom like that needs a single verb.

Date: Jun. 5th, 2005 09:45 pm (UTC)I think the reason I like it is the sound. "confussled" [I do generally spell it with "s"es] sounds fuzzy. I'm not sure when I came across it/started using it... but it's been years and years now.
