Words are Friends
at Monday, August 9, 2010
I like to think of the English language as I do our criminal justice system; flexible and largely open to interpretation. My interpretation of it, while drawing the line somewhere around text speak, permits a standing exception and free usage of all fabricated and pop culture-based words. And so, like some bastard offspring of Vanna White and Johnny Appleseed, I spread these magical words to custom dictionaries throughout the land.
Actually this is just a list of my favorite words from the CUSTOM.DIC file for MS Word, the one that holds everything I've added to my spellchecker over the last few years:

- bacongasm

- crapload
- shitload
- moonroofin' (I have no idea what this is)

I've recently become enamored of the word "logistically".
It's not what you asked for, but it's a lovely word just the same.
Pie.

Cockshiner? I feel like that's a fancy word for blow job.

Assoholic: "a noun meaning someone who constantly acts in a way that is irritating to those around him."
I heard this word somewhere and thought it was genius but when I googled it, I also discovered "assaholic." Uh, the two words probably shouldn't be confused. 'Nuf said.

Asshattery.

Cockshiner is my favorite. I also like shitdicker, a la @DysFuncJunc.

YAAAY you're back. Oh I think that's actually one of my often typed words: YAAAY. reserved for truly exciting moments, and the glorious appearance of Fridays.

Rewhoresful. As in: Tiffany did not have a hotel room reserved when she visited New York City, but she was rewhoresful enough to hook up with Joe so she could stay in his apartment.

Ha.
I've added so many words to my spellcheck dictionary, it no longer asks if I would like to add a word. Instead, it says, "Why the fuck not?"

When I saw your title all I could think of was Finding Nemo: words (fish) are friends, not food. I know, I'm really cool.

For some reason, the word boobtastic comes up more than any other. I don't know why. I might have been typing drunk again.

-Fantabulous
-Midichlorians
-M'kay
-Schmancy
-Wondermous
All very useful.

I have a few so bear with me:
douche-canoe
asshat
superfantabulous
schmengy
schmegma - but I think that's a real word for... dick jam... ewww!

"Gaw"
Like oh my gaaaawwwww I'm freaking out.
And "awesomer". That we can all agree should already be there.

I'm not familiar with cockshiner (although I might can guess what it is), moonroofin' or holodeck. I still throw out a good booyah every now and again.

Holodeck... Red Dwarf reference?
Great blog!

Hilarious. Just my sense of humor. After living in England, I picked up calling real jerks, wangers. I also utilize "cluster" as short hand for the longer version that includes the epithet.
Very useful when wanting to convey utter frustration in mixed company.

This is what it looks when I call you a lying liar.
August 19, 2010 12:44 PM
Clusterfuck...that one should be added to the dictionary. I use that one a lot
August 23, 2010 2:45 PM
Dickwad. Although l think cockshiner is going to be my new favourite insult. Thanks :)

I admit it: fuckery and hinky. Asshat is also nice.

I'd have to go with turdnuzzler. According to my bestest buddy in the whole world - who happens to be as gay as a yellow duster - I'm a fagghet (a heterosexual male whose BFF is a whoopsey), so that's been added too.

I'm not fully convinced that incorporating "bacongasm" into an ad campaign for a fast food bacon burger somewhere wouldn't make someone really rich.
