Have you ever made up a word that caught on?

[stillbr]

I made up the word "snussy". Its a less vulger way of calling someone a pussy. I have heard people I did not know in north and middle alabama use the word. Snussy is a great word. Start using it and watch it catch on.

Example at the bar:

"Just take the shot you SNUSSY!"

When I was in kindergarden, we had phonics class and we learned what a diphthong was. I thought it was a funny word so I kept calling people a diphthong. I used it for a good couple years...

Then about 10 years later, I heard it used in a movie. Not saying I started it, but I know no one else that I knew of ever used it before I started.

Yes I have.

The word assgoblin is MY word. I made it up long before It was ever associated with Video Games.

I know shizer is German for poop (see the South Park movie) but I have no idea what gruben means.

I have not made up a word but I will use new words I like, lately it's been "Smacktard". That person is brilliant. "Ass-clown" is another good one IMO. So if you guys come up with some good stuff, I'll pass it along but won't take credit for it.

How did any of this crap catch on? They sound terrible.
I made up the conjunction; heavybody thats"heavy"plus"body"="heavybody". See

I've been seeing "meh' in internet circles for longer than that, though it's definitely gotten much more commonly used in the past two or three years.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure things like MILF and CFM have been around for quite a while, even though many people probably would think they're relatively new.

Sorry Steve. The question was relating to words that caught on. Your "lung butter" is way too nasty of a word to catch on. It's very descriptive though, saying it out loud makes me wanna throw up in my mouth a little.

i invented "the." now everyone's using it. even germans

[IndieMatty]

I made a thread about this a while ago. My friend told me he made up the term "bronson" for beer. We said it a lot when we were out at shows. A year or so later we are at a party in Massachusetts, and some kids in a similar scene were tossing around Bronson like it was normal. That's about it.

[man]

can I just voice the frustration that anyone feels when one introduces a concept that is so blatantly so esoteric that no one will understand it withou an apt description being provided? ( diphthong (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=diphthong) ) ( esoteric (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=esoteric) )

no, I've never been able to make one of these.

[Dr. StrangeloveX]

Also, "Bush" as a swear word, neologized (boooom that has to be another one) late 1988, when I was 4. My 3 year old sister caught on, but it didn't save here from getting paddled by my grandfather when she said it because it sounded so much like "bull$hit."

[Inthacup]

I came up with the word taint. Anyone that tells you different is a liar.

[___SK___]

me and a few friends have used a word and a few derivatives for about 8 years now. basically its out way of saying hot chick.

and this is the first time i'd ever spell it, so here it goes. shebaduh, pronounced just like that she-bah-duh

so naturally a few derivatives followed. babebaduh (for the younger girls (dont worry i am already going to hell))

mommaduh- for the hot mommas

The phrase "lovely jubly" goes back a long way, although I guess using ther word by itself is original.

I coined the phrase "donkbet" in a bout of politically-correct driven rage in opposition to the term "gaybet".

[diebitter]

Scudger - for a scumbag, thief, rotten teenage boy-type. Never caught on though.

[DasLeben]

Genglisch, for the horribly pronounced German my sisters learned in school.

I don't think it caught on though.

It's not uncommon to hear something, tuck it in your subconscious, take it out, and think you invented that idea. Happens to me all the time. Then I go brag about this new great thing I just figured out (idea, word, concept, etc) to someone and they say they TOLD me about it awhile ago...

DFO, for "done fell out" for passing out or collapsing.

Some months later I was told a doctor in the ER here said "this is a 59-year-old black diabetic female with renal insufficiency who DFO'd at home".

Does that make me a neologist?

Don't know if I actually made them up but I was the first one of anyone I knew t6o use the word noggin to describe the act of fellatio.

I was also the first to describe some one as scrotum nosed
