Have you ever made up a word that caught on?
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!"

Re: Have you ever made up a word that caught on?
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.

Re: Have you ever made up a word that caught on?
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 ) ( esoteric )
no, I've never been able to make one of these.

Re: Have you ever made up a word that caught on?
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."
