Neologisms

[Chris]

Do you have any neologisms that you use frequently or discovered by mistake?

In some writing I did recently I came accross three. They SO should be words.

"Fluctuant", "preferral" and "independancy".

 

[Calvert]

I haven't come across the word "neologism" before. Am I right in that it basically means a new word that you have made up yourself?

 

[Chris]

Yeah, thats the general idea. I like the word 'neologism'. Lol.

"Inconfidences" is another one, I think. Just used it in a thread in aspie general and thought 'waaaait a minute... *looks up*' Lol.

I think that this is the "narc" that Homer Simpson was referring to:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=narc

narc
1. n. Short for a Narcotics officer. A member of Law Enforcement that enforces drug laws.

2. n. A person who is not a member of Law Enforcement but turns you into the police for doing or dealing drugs.

3. n. A person that turns you in for something you did wrong; specifically to any type of authority figure like parents, cops, teachers, boss, etc.

4. v. The act of turning someone into law enforcement or authority figures.

 

[Chris]

Fair enough. It cracked me up the first time I heard him say it anyway. Not commonly used... in the UK at least lol.

Eaterol.

In the future there will only be one food. 'Eaterol'

Also 'heater oil' in some accents.

Nyes = no that turns to yes. Good to use when you can't make up your mind.
Sprummer = between spring and summer, spring turning to summer.
