Watch Your Language!

Listening to: "The Becoming" by Nine Inch Nails

Words are fun, funny, and phunny. I like to make them up, and so do many of the people I know. Here are a few that you may or may not find interesting or amusing. Some have been made up by me, some by people I know, some by people I don't know but who are surely legends somewhere. There's no copyright on them (as far as I know, aka if you've made one of these up and don't want me to use it, leave a comment instead of suing my holey pants off, please), so you can incorporate them into your daily speech as much as the mental institution you reside in will allow.

confuzzled: (adj.) confused, bewildered, or just plain LOST...

shinanigans: (n. plural) things that are going on. A vague but versatile term.

clusterf(udge): (n.) a chaotic, confusing (see "confuzzled"), or out-of-control situation. I'm sure you know what to replace "fudge" with. Credited to the military originally, and to Dane Cook for introducing me to it.

wonky: (adj.) term used to describe the sound made by unwanted feedback in a sound system. Credited to one of my teacher(s?).

purdyful: (adj.) pretty, neat, beautiful, lovely, orderly, etc. Incorrect spelling will result in spelling correction.

uberiffic: (adj.) awesome, wonderful, incredible, amazing, insane, etc. A combination of "uber" and "terrific".

wanking, to wank/wanker: (v./n., respectively) to play one's instrument at an inappropriate time, in a showoffy fashion, or in an unskilled manner. Someone who wanks/is wanking.

omg wtf bbq: chat speak abbreviation used to make fun of chat speak abbreviations.

butcher: (v.) to figuratively destroy a performance, etc by not doing a very good job of it.

epic: (adj.) intense, overwhelming, mind-blowing, amazing.

jamming, to jam/jam session: (v./n., respectively) to perform music with two or more people in a casual, just-for-fun, free-form setting; a rather "dorky/lame" term used to describe a time period of jamming.

carp en denim: fish in pants. A play on the phrase "carpe diem", sent to me by my dear friend Jordan.

Eat, Sleep, and Poop Day: (n.) Thanksgiving. (this reminds me of the song we wrote in Seattle about the turkey baster flying off to space...leave a comment and nag me to post the lyrics to that sometime...). Credited to the tallest of my many guitarist friends, although I added in the "sleep" part.

coinkydink: (n.) a coincidence. Pronounced "co-INK-ee-dink".

monkey: (n.) a somewhat derogatory way of referring to a person or group of people considered to be beneath you. Can be prefaced with a number of other adjectives (use your imagination, if you have one). Ex. "Nazi-muffin sea monkey": something to be yelled at one's friends when they have caused you grief, ie poking you in the stomach, taking your food, dropping an anvil on your foot, etc.

geniosityamazerifictubularcrazyfingbeautifulness: (adj.) A term used to describe something which is so great that it merits its own 48-letter, 21-syllable combination of at least 7 words. Same one who came up with Eat and Poop Day.

drain bamage: (n.) brain damage. The result of putting up with stupid people, academic stress, sleep deprivation, hitting your head on those slanted roofs in cabins and weird houses, watching more than 1 hour of Spongebob or Viva la Bam at a time, or babysitting.

I'll be adding to this as I discover more of these verbal gems. It's one of those things where I'm like "Yeah! I should write about this!", then as soon as I start to, I forget all the ideas I was going to put in the post. If you think of some good ones you'd like me to add, leave a comment and let me know about it (or just leave a comment anyway *wink wink nudge nudge*). As a side note, sometimes I speak in lolcats, so if you're confuzzled by that, then go study it a bit: http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/. Have a chuckle while you're at it, if you're amused by such immature things, that is (I sure am!). Stay tuned, or don't.
