New words

[SteveT]

I have read two new words today,

SeanMcG wrote 'faffage' when describing the miseries of airport usage.

Gubodge used the word 'twunts' which made me laugh, on the 'cyclist nicking' thread.

Anyone else spotted 'new words' lying around?

[HonaloochieB]

Neologism. There's one.

[SteveT]

'neologism' noun a newly coined word or expression.

Origin from neo = new + Greek logos 'word'.

Good shout HB, although not what we were expecting, it is very informative and gives this thread academic class, good man.

[PeckhamRose]

Apoctracadamis (invented by a school friend who said it was the system that would replace decimalisation).

[bon3yard]

I think my friend Tony Crankshaft coined the term 'Mannist' as a male equivalent of Feminist. He even penned a rubbish manifesto and named it his 'Mannist Agenda'.

[karter]

This road is 'trafficated'.

[Huguenot]

Didn't Snorky coin Cookwank, and a number of other gems?

[bon3yard]

is 'frottage' a new word? I suspect its French and therefore means something either filthy or poncey.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

frottage is v. old and yes it's filthy.

[mightyroar]

I like

catastrophising.

imagining the worst all the time

[Nero]

Cookwank is great. I like knobsock, too. And odd combinations of 'rude' words and swear words, like 'twat-knob' and 'tit-knicker'.

[bon3yard]

I like

catastrophising.

Thats one way to sum up the editorial policy at The Dail Mail. Meet the editor:

 

[SteveT]

Meh: it means 'no' or a 'very reluctant maybe' pronounced like a sheep baaing, sounds like 'mare'.

[Keef]

I've always liked "fugly". It was used a lot in Summer Heights High, the Australian comedy, before that I'd never heard it in "the main stream".

My friend and I use the word Fackered for very tired.

An ex-flatmate once returned from his morning trip to the bog and declared himself to be having trouble with his 'bum-scissors'.

Ex-flatmate you say *Bob*, suprised you let a prize like him go.

The sort of bloke you might be describing is, in my lexicon a 'flatcunt'.

[Huguenot]

I really like bum-scissors.

HA!

Still laughing.

Administrator! Administrator! HBs using bad words again!

[Moos]

I don't get bum-scissors... :-$

[*Bob*]

Moos,

One might use 'bum scissors' to 'pinch a loaf'

[Moos]

Oh!

:-$:-$

[DaveR]

Charlie Brooker last night described the cast of "Brittania High" as "piss weasels", which was a new one for me.

[Ant]

New one for me too, but seemed very apt.

[SteveT]

Sparracide- coined by Brendan on the reduction of sparrows thread.

[dulwichmum]

I love "faffage", but I consider it to be a traditional Irish expression, I am sure that Sean will agree. I am loving the word Recessionista right now.
