Thread: What are currently any favorite,made up big words,not in the dictionary ?

What are currently any of your witty favorite, made up big words, that aren't currently in
the dictionary and what do they mean.

bunglesome - a word my mother used to describe a new 1949 Packard belonging to a neighbour

shiggles - made up by someone here - I forget who

"boardback"- I made it up and I'm probably going to catch a bunch of hell for it, but I'm going to try to use it anyway. Like horseback; a manner of transportation.

Eh... in the English speaking world contemporary Black-American girls have to win that one hands down, KL, when it comes to the unique, stand-out names their mothers given them and they give their daughters.

Names like: Quentatiniqua.

My Africology professor used to make a big fuss over that because names can either help propel or cripple your child (in terms of loans, employment etc.).

Kevin - 'Boardback' is a good one. The boarders now have a word to describe how they plan to get from place to place - by boardback. That could very well catch on.

HOB - It is in the dictionary, but has a different meaning to me and my best friend.
In a sentance: "The hot pink car with white polkadots is very hob"
Meaning: Absolutely rediculous to such an extent that you can't even believe it.
Origin: A local chinese place called Hong Kong Buffet, but their sign was missing the "k" so it said Hong ong Buffet. we started calling it H.O.B for short and then extended that word to refer to the fact that it was utterly silly and stupid that they still hadn't gotten it fixed.

Whatchamacallit-thingamigger-dohickything: That thing you don't remember the name of whos purpose you are also unsure of that also looks strange to you. A combinitaion of nondescriptive verbs for things you don't know anything about.

Snuzzlepuss - a cat who likes to rub it's head, lovingly, against the face, legs, arms, sofa, friends etc... of it's owner.

Chicken Parmo -- I highly doubt any of you will have heard of this North-East England delicacy. Breaded chicken with a cheese-based sauce (which has a name I don't remember) and melted cheese on top. You buy it from kebab shops after a night out, and it tastes so darn GOOD. They became so popular that ASDA and, I think, Morrisons (two big shopping-centre companies) started to stock them in their frozen food sections. They probably don't taste as good as the proper ones, but there you have it. Parmo stands for Parmesan, because they use parmesan cheese in the sauce I think. Aw, heck, you needed to know about this tasty goodness anyway.

I... can't think of any others right now.

Chicken Parmo -- I highly doubt any of you will have heard of this North-East England delicacy.

I swear to God that if you go anywhere else in the UK, they will not have heard of it... At least, that's the assumption we've all had for years now

Same thing with Pasties. It's something we eat frequently in the upper pennisula of Michigan (below Canada), and maybe wisconsin, I can't be sure, but when I was stationed in Maryland (14 hours south) no one had ever heard of them!

I hang my head in shame and admit that I've never heard of Chicken Parmo either.

Yeah! Neil Gaiman in his American Gods wrote about pasties in the north west, I think, or maybe east? They have pasties cause of the Cornish immigrants? I don't know... but some of his US readers had never heard of the things, they're common all over here! Gaiman is one of my favourite British authors

You're from up here! How have you never heard of them? Shame on you, sir, indeed. You'll have to come up and try one some time. They were invented in Middlesbrough I think, or Newcastle... one of the two.

Any idea where/when it first appeared in your area, Nox?
