Thread: WORDS

    Default WORDS

    Do you ever make up words? I sometimes do on the spot, either because I can't think of the actual word or because it's easier to make up my own!

    Like just now, I needed to find an adverb for retaliatory. So, I said retaliatorily! Firefox says that's wrong, but w/e.

    Sometimes I think my girlfriend is making up words but it turns out she just has a larger vocabulary than me.

    I like to make up phrases and stuff to describe people and things, a la Urban Dictionary.

    I don't make up words, but once I hear an interesting word, I'll latch onto it and keep repeating it all over the place. Like shawarma! Mothersmurfing shawarma!

    I use prolly alot, instead of probably. I didn't make it up, though. Someone I used to talk to alot used in frequently and I suddenly found myself doing it, as well.

    Allie uses words a lot in conversation that I don't know the definition of, but sometimes I'm too embarassed to ask so I just go with it.

    I don't make up words, I just stutter and join two words of similar meaning together so I sound even more stupid.

    I make up words, similar to Yaridovich But I acknowledge that it's not a word and look up the real one

    My favorite word that I made up is 'fetulent'. It's a compound of fetid and feculent.
