It should be a word!

[CarlHoliday]

Who knew Greek gods could become verbs!?!

 

I'm going to go with:

 

Hephaestusize v. 1. To break or injure one's foot whilst pursuing an epic activity. 2. A very serious worsening of an injury to the foot or feet. His broken ankle hephaestusized and soon his entire foot had to be amputated!

 

 

Pronunciationwise - adj. 1. Relating to pronunciation. Pronunciationwise he thought "Ya'll" was a more natural progression from "ya all" than from "you all".

 

 

-Kevin

 

Hephaestusize is good, but shouldn't it be Hermestisize since Hermes was the god of travel and Hephaestus was the god of fire and metalworking. Hephaestusize seems more along the lines of: Hephaestusize v. 1. To burn your marshmallow too much rendering it uneatable (there's a word for you). 2. To let a match burn out before you use it. The match hephasestusized before I could light the candles.

 

I'll give you Pronunciationwise. If you ain't from the South, you don't have to talk like them.

 

Try:

 

Obliviot n. A person so oblivious they are totally unaware of the world around them.

LOL, good point, and I like your two definitions of Hephaestusize, but I wasn't focusing on "travel" (thus, Hermes), I was focusing on the fact that Hephaestus had mangled feet.

 

The Story of Hephaestus:

It is said that Hephaestus's parents Zeus and Hera were fighting, when he interviened [sic] they threw him from the top of Mount Olympus. It took him a full day to land. Thetis, goddess of the sea collected his pieces and again made him whole. As a result of this fall Hephaestus's feet were misformed among other malformations.

 

 

Obliviot n. A person so oblivious they are totally unaware of the world around them.

Oh my gosh! I love this one!!!

Obviously you know your Greek mythology better than I do.

 

How about:

 

dogreek adj. The malodorous smell of a dog in a room, on someone's clothes, or anywhere else. You can tell they love their dogs, their house was full of dogreek.

Those are great!

I have to admit that malrested does sound like molested, but is that really a bad thing?

Dogreek is great. I think we need catreek too.

[AFriendlyFace]

I think we need catreek too.

Cats don't reek!

 

But so that we don't leave them out how about:

 

Freline - n. A reclining feline. Call all you like, the freline isn't going to get up.

 

 

-Kevin

[Ieshwar]

I got one.

 

GAddict!- someone addict to GA (Gay Authors).

 

I fear I'm a GAddict!

 

Btw, how would you pronounce it- 'G A dick' or 'Ga-dick which can become 'gay-dick'.

No, cats are clean. They smell something horrible, they cover it up. A dog smells something horrible, it rolls in it.

 

I like freline. Ours certainly had it down pat.

Oh my sweet jesus I love this thread so much.... I HAVE ADDITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And proposals!!!!!

 

First, the proposal. I propose that we also begin to use NAMES of PEOPLE for ADJECTIVES! Allow me to explain. If someone does something exceedingly friendly, or is acting very chipper, we may use the word "Kevin" to describe them or their actions.

 

Example: Well, you know my grandson is just so Kevin when he brings me my mail and mows my lawn for me.

Example 2: Jeez, quit being so Kevin all the time, it's getting sickening. <---- I LOVE YOU KEVVERS!

 

Or, if someone is acting in an exceedingly stupid manner...

 

Example: Sally, if you continue to conduct yourself in such a Bush manner in the workplace, you will be terminated.

 

 

 

 

 

ANYWAY! Okay, wordses....

Pfft, I don't have enough time right now, and I'ma have to call some people to make a good list, hehe. Anyways, let it be known that I declare this thread to be on the top ten list of best GA threads ever. 'Cause I mean, damn. It's good.

 

 

ETA: I think my favorite is freline. I have a cat, Kitty Kitty Yum Yum, who that is just freakin' perfect for.

[jfalkon]

My appologies to those of you with clean nice cats. I was actualy thinking of those people who habitualy put off cleaning the litter box. The cat itself does not smell but the home does! Poor cat

Well, if it's the litter box that's the problem, then it's probably:

 

coprodoriferous adj. a foul odor due to an accumulation of feces (The coprodoriferous litter box hadn't been cleaned in a month.) or (Their dogs lived in a very coprodoriferous environment because they hardly ever washed out the kennels.)

 

Please notice I did not mention the bucket of soiled diapers in the laundry room with the loose lid.

Haha,

 

Thanks Jamie!

 

LOL, and perhaps someone being "Jamie" is extra smart and cute.

 

Ex: Her parents loved her new boyfriend. He was so Jamie they knew he was going to be successful!

Eeek! I'm going to stay away from this coprodoriferous home!

This morning I had to write a blog entry about my mother dying and mentioned I was siblingless, but looking into good ol' Merriam-Webster, I found that siblingless is not a word and more importantly not quite the correct form. Personally, I do not like the alternative. "Only Child" sounds so lonely. Well, it is! The last thing I want to do is explain to people I'm an only child and don't have any idea what they're going through with their bitchy older sister, whiny little brother, or any of those other kids wandering around their house under the guise of Brother or Sister.

 

So, I decided the correct way (Notice how as a writer I have assumed a small amount of omnipotence in deciding how a new word should be constructed. That simply comes from the creative side of the brain, you know, that little collection of neurons and synapses that

[AFriendlyFace]

 

I'm so sorry for your loss, Carl

 

sibless adj. Not having a sibling; being an only child.

LOL, I like it!

 

Actually I've always thought of myself as sibless too, even though I have two very much younger half-sisters that I never see. Is one allowed to claim sibless status for oneself or is it a completely objective matter?

 

 

Have a great day all!

Kevin

[CarlHoliday]

Well, I assume you were sibless until the two halfs came on the scene, but in a technical sense I think your current situation is probably covered by:

 

demisiblate v. demisiblated, demisiblating Through the process of remarriage and birthing cause your sibless offspring to have half-siblings.

 

demisiblate n. A former sibless offspring who gains half-siblings from the remarriage and subsequent coital activities of either parent.

Ok so my word is:

 

Ginormous: adj- extremely huge.

 

I know I say other weird words but for some reason when I try to write them down I can't remember any of them.

 

*correction* this is Anna, not Sharon. My mother doesn't say weird words lol.

[Whatsifsowhatsit2]

Ok so my word is:

 

Ginormous: adj- extremely huge.

 

I don't mean to be the bad guy here... but... Ginormous kinda already exists, according to this...

 

And no, I'm not just here to tell everyone about these things, I'm still brooding on my own

Darn! And I liked ginormous. Well, it certainly didn't make Merriam-Webster, but they do have a higher standard that most other dictionaries, though the dictionary.com entry did sound rather authentic.

 

Using Razor's suggestion of using names of people for adjectives, how about people's names for any other type of word, such as:

 

Ieshwar n. A small (3 cm) bony fish (Kevini jamiei) with three broad horizontal orange stripes over a black background frequents coral reefs of the Western Indian Ocean, especially around Mauritius; often called the Canary of Mauritius, populations of Ieshwar have often been used as an indicator of a healthy reef.

 

(You know, I should be working on my stories instead of coming up with idiotic new words. Anyone know how to stop a GAddict? Or, do you just go cold turkey sandwich and hope for the best?)

kidsanity n. Medical condition describing the form of insanity that results from having children.

[CarlHoliday]

kidsanity n. Medical condition describing the form of insanity that results from having children.

 

No kidding! But, wait until you encounter,

 

teensanity n. Medical condition describing the form of insanity that results from having teenagers in the household.

[Graeme]

Cliffixitis n. The state of having a fixation about cliffhangers. His constant references to cliffhangers was a sure sign he suffered from cliffixitis

[AFriendlyFace]

Rambly adj. Describing something that rambles. I meant to add this word to the thread sooner, but I got distracted with yet another rambly post.

 

BTW, "Ginormous" definitely is a word. It received quite a bit of publicity (well relatively) when it was added to the latest edition of Merriam-Webster. Here's a link to a list of several other new inductees: list

 

"Smackdown", "Nocebo", and "flex-cuff" were the other ones I heard quite a bit about. They also featured the list in a recent edition of Reader's Digest's Word Power.

 

Have a ginormously happy day everyone! Sorry I got a bit rambly.

-Kevin

[jfalkon]

I remeber hearing that ginormous was added to the dictionary this year.

This one isn't mine. I heard it on TV and liked it.

Sounds like a coprodoriferous pursuit.
