It takes a nation of neologists.
So considering the amount of half-baked words I make up on this website and considering there's very little to discuss on radio between the hours of 6 and 7am, this morning we did a 'callout' (that's a technical broadcasting term, people) for budding neologists to share their fantastical creations and here are my favourites via the text line:
2008-05-08 06:33 Airline food, low in delicium yet high in disgorbian. Whats the atomic weight of Delicium? Otherwise, cramstipation, where you really have to study, but just cant
I love 'delicium'. When we spoke to this guy on the phone he said 'it should pretty much be on the periodic table' and everyone in the studio had a private swoon.
2008-05-08 07:15 Specifilexia. People who cant say specific and annoyingly say pacific instead
Yes, but if they're already struggling with the word 'specific' it seems somewhat unlikely that they'll be grammatically together enough to apologise for their rather severe case of Specifilexia. Still, nice word.
2008-05-08 07:15 Ampertunity, ample opportunity.
I love this because it sounds like something George Bush would roll out in one of those HAY GUYS WE TOTALLY WON THE OVERSEAS BLOW-UP GAME speeches he tends to make on warships or landing strips or other such butch locations - ie 'We gave Saddam ampertunity to reveal the location of his Nintendo Wii but he wouldn't so we hanged him on a rope.'
2008-05-08 07:18 My family makes up lots me words.like coombi as in "coombi stuffed". So we say "i got the coombi's" when we an't be bothered. And jacobi as in "you could be" "Jacobi joking." My name is patrick orlando.
It's so comforting to know that other dorkus families while away the hours playing nerdy word games. Also: the rather formal introduction at the end of this text is very pleasing. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Patrick Orlando.
2008-05-08 06:33 Brang which is when u bring something
No it isn't. It's when you're verbally challenged and you veer towards robust statements like LOOK GRANDMA I BRANG YOU A CAKE.
2008-05-08 07:17 Splashterbate. Fun in the bath. Jason.
Evocative and to the point, young man. Though I can't see myself heading home with anyone who has invited me to partake in such an activity during an evening out.
2008-05-08 07:20 gool = the median between good and cool
Gool doesn't = the median between good and cool. It = a patent misspelling of the word 'ghoul' and should therefore not be encouraged.
2008-05-08 07:18 Sexy time meaning you got lucky, please can i have the presets tickets i have been trying all week.. Claire
STOP PLAYING YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
2008-05-08 07:15 Mamdog means someone has done something really good or big- rowan from frankston
I can't imagine this catching on despite Rowan's convincing tone, to be honest.
Me: Gather round, friends and countrymen! I have created an oversized wooden horse inside which we can all hide. Pray tell, what do you make of my life's work?
Greek soliders: Mamdog!
2008-05-08 07:22 Hey my names Jarrod my made up word is pussdog. u call someone a pussdog when there being a dick and wont do somethin for u like goin to the fridge for a beer
*sighs*
2008-05-08 07:25 Divinculate: to make up words to impress people. The word being an example of its definition. I made it up at school years ago.
'The word being an example of its definition'. He actually texted this in. Ladies, form an orderly queue.
2008-05-08 07:27 My wife calls my penis a choonki loonki and her vagina a bagoongi. Big sex turn off. Matt
Oh my GOD. This is babytalk plus sexy plus mum and dad plus hell and I think I may never have intercourse again lest I accidentally shout MY BAGOONGI LET ME SHOW YOU IT or something equally as nauseating HELP HELP.

I was going to text in 'Shamington' (being one of those dodgy lamingtons that doesn't have cream in the middle) but then I didn't cause I felt that it was lame.

"The x is for extra crazy"
It can also refer to a short girl that has abadonkadonk and is a swipe chizzler.
Is that really the SMARTEST thing for a radio host to write on a blog that is read by thousands? Just wondering.
"Fits & Giggles" - Time of the day when you check RYWHM for that elusive post you may have not yet read cos no one else is looking to see if you are doing any work.
I have lots more but Fits & Giggles time is over ;-(
Americangoround: politically aware child's ride.
Breasticle: obviously...
"Anatomically - scranus or bridge. More descriptive options for the word perineum, the area between your scrotum and anus. The female version is vaganus."
hmmm... i thought that was a choad, or maybe even your 'not ya', as in not yr balls and not yr bum :)
Choad or chode, describes a penis where its girth is greater than its length. Or G>L (for the mathematicians among us).
Psychopaths have trouble getting simple words right. Explains a lot actuatelly.
"Not your arse, not your Crandall"
You get the idea.
I know this is a bit off topic, but I want to get a question in for the Friday Q&A.
I'm 32 (we're practically the same age!) and I've just moved out of home for the first time into an apartment in Bondi Junction.
One of the things I'm finding it hard to get used to is shared or communal clotheslines. I'm finding the etiquette of using them quite confusing.
When I'm hanging out my washing, should I put up the sex-stained sheets first and hide the stains with towels and other laundry, or just hang the items as they come from the basket and not worry about the sex-stains?
Actually, is there a way to bleach the sex-stains out without wrecking the sheets? Then the issue would not exist, I suppose.
Same with my undies, many of which have yellow markings in them from perspiration and urine but are in too good condition to justify throwing away.
I know you can get the stains out of these with Nappy San, but I've been lazy!
Thanks Fitsy, and I'll try and think up a neoplasm. Bye!
Bwahaha, another highly annoying rape of the English language. Interestingly, the same offenders tend to suffer from Specifilexia.

How the FUCK does this shithead get to be on national radio? What is it with this love of the banal and moronic in Australia? Jesus! The sooner we're droughted (there's a word for your wanky little game) off the face of the earth the better!
What did you do with the sheets when you lived at home?
Specifilexia is definitely my fave. I once had a boss with this condition and I groaned every time she fucked up this oh so simple word. How do people like this get to positions of authority?
I have a boss who not only says "pacific", but actually writes it in emails to staff...ie. 'Which room pacifically in Bld. A is the meeting to be held?'
1. What have you ever achieved in your life? (I expect you are either famous for something good or astonishingly rich, beautiful and beyond reproach by default).
2. Why do you feel the need to post anonymous comments that make you look stupid?
And of all the drivel here you say I look stupid! You must have a brain tumour.

pESTILENCE AND DROUGH SHALL i VISIT UPON ALL ANONYMOUS WANKERTROLLS.
This is my favourite. I know many who often become 'disorientated'. They also say things like, "In actuality..." when they could just say, "Actually...". I even once saw in an essay the word 'actualityness'. As in, 'actual'.
'Historical' also bugs me at times when 'historic' will do. 'It was an historical event.'
The again, I don't mind it when people say 'arks' instead of 'ask' (which I guess is a symptom of specifilexia). It's kinda cute.
Alternate def:
Someone who hangs around a website and writes boring comments and acts superior to everyone else. The comments are usually only to inflate the fucktard ego and prove their shit stirring ability. Poor temperament, best not approached. Will hang around till they crave more attention from an alternate source.
annoying.
A lot of money is tainted: 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine
My addition to the collection is "Disorientated", which is the condition by which you become so disoriented that amidst your confusion you begin adding extra syllables to otherwise perfectly good words."
Apparently Universities hire a lot of "tutorers", too.
Alternate def:

Nice pick up. This one used to shit me too. I once argued the point when I was in uni, and the only spacktard in the room who piped up and agreed with me did so on the basis that "Someone who leads a 'tute' is a 'tuter' not a 'tutorer'...". He was perplexed when I explained that the classes were actually (or 'in actuality') called tutorials, which led him to conclude that they're not 'tuters', 'tutors' or 'tutorers', but rather 'tutorialists'!!
"Transmandifficanubandancivilarity" – neologistic effort not solely mine though! Some attribution required to Dr Death aka Nocka Colbert, Oza O’Niell – (my something cousin ie. my mother's half sisters son!) and others from Volum Street in Hamlyn Heights. Yes that place does exist and was at one point the childhood home of Bridie's mate Elke with whom she worked and house shared in Victoria Parade.
Meaning – Does it matter? The purpose of its invention was to be longer than that once popular but now clearly outdated (in Australia at least) movement called –antidisestablishmnetarianism.
As you know the movement to remove the British monarchy I think in the 18th century was the movement for “disestablishment “of the UK throne. The opposition to that movement when reduced to a noun needed to be beaten for length alone, hence “transman…." So I presume it may have any meaning the user is prepared to promote and defend.
He reckons he has got da yoof on da ropes with that one.

My word is 'Fitsbashing' or to 'Fitsbash'...
Fitsicuffs: related but when more than one engages.
adj. being a tight-arse with words
The noise made by a firefighter with diarrhoea as the fire alarm sounds just as he (or she) has sat down on the toilet.
I swear. I heard someone on the ABC say that. I think it was a sports commentator.
The emerging psychology of the typical internet troll indicates that they are emotional immaturity, have poor self-esteem and problems establishing and maintaining intimate relationships, are of average intelligence, have limited situational adaptability, limited to rigid thinking and an egocentric worldview.
The internet provides an outlet not otherwise available to them, as do strong reactions elicited by their comments offset the interpersonal indifference that defines their lives outside of cyberspace.
By definition, I am troll for going off-topic. The best defense against trolls is actually no defense at all; indifference. Would you argue with a retarded person on the bus? Then don’t try and argue with a troll.
Of course I would, you stupid cunt. I'd beat him up too, If I was bigger than him.
no...should he be?
Blogging whilst one should be working
Extracourse: to have sex with someone who is not actually present.
Ultracourse: to have sex with someone who shaved a bit too long ago.
Unless you are 'dangerous and evil' can I suggest you and Ms Monk develop a thicker skin?
Also, I think I'm going to have to stop reading the comments soon. Which is a wee bit sad.
My life (sigh) is filled with ennui and I have acne scars and suffer constipation. Like you, I'm cursed with having to live up to the expectations of famous and successful elders and the only escape from all this is to go and eat and get drunk with my friends, which I did the other night.
It was a great night. I ate pizza, and gyros and more pizza and Thai green duck curry with heaps of tom yum soup and I'd lost count of how much alcohol I'd drunk by the fifteenth pot.
Well, sometime in the night I woke up with a weird sensation of not being alone in the bed, but I was too hung over and sick to think about it, and lay there tossing and turning for hours.
I was horrified when I discovered that I'd lost control of my sphincter at some point and the bed was full, and I mean days worth, constipation, remember? of poo.
Well Marieke, I don't want to revolt you with lurid descriptions of the mess and the stench, suffice to say it was pretty gross.
My question is, what do I do with my bedclothes? I've had them soaking in a big plastic garbage can ever since, and I'm simply too scared even to look at them, let alone try and wash them.
But they were a combination of 21st and housewarming prezzies, so I can't chuck them, and mum is going to want to see me using them at some stage, so I'm just hoping that you or one of your cool crew could give me some ideas.
Love the blog and the show. Mwah!
Bloggers with such aggresion. Maybe you should go and splashterbate or for heavens sake head out for a walk.
Such whinging idiocracy is not needed.
Who takes the time to listen to radio and search for blogs with the purpose of making negative comments??
This is not some state controlled Big Brother force fed broadcast, no one forces you to listen or read, you actively chose to participate in this forum.
Just fucking change the channel. I'm sure Todd and Sonia would be thrilled to have your support.
But Administone, that is hilarious. On reading that I glanced at my overflowing intray and my bubble of denial burst and I now must return to work.
unpleasant in a general sense
Think about it; what purpose does it serve for people to post such inflammatory dross other than to incite other posters to comment? Fits doesn’t bother with it. Don’t waste even five minutes on an idiot. You can’t win. Rise above.
Did Daryl Somers just combine the words outstanding and astounding to form the complimentary term "Outstounding"?

On a smell note: BY you probably spent 2 years wallowing in your own crap at start of life. Hey it washes out!
Fun with a 't'.
Maybe I am being possimistic at someone reading my comment (positive yet realistic at the possibility of failing badly).
That is not a sentence.
To innocently use a word that is not real but that you think is real, that's neology zen.
See, i didn't have the slightest inclination to say 'zeneology' there, cause that would have just been silly.

Well ain't these two easy to please? A couple of squirts of Ms Fit's moron juice and they're clucking and clacking for hours. If you really want to make them happy, put 'em in a round room and tell 'em there's a picture of Ms Fits naked in the corner! Heh! Little Southern humor there.... but seriously, you nervous types should take heed of the simple pleasure these two sweeties take out of this little blog and stop acting so mean towards Ms Fits, who after all is nice enough to let you play in her turnip patch!
He cheated on me at the swimming carnival after-party and is now prematurely balding.
I was too, until I realized that I was spending all my time either sitting on a toilet or frantically looking around for one. I'm the man to ask if you ever need to know where the nearest lavatory is in Melbourne, let me tell you!
The fear of dying from bowel cancer had been exceeded by the certainty of shitting myself to death by the time I came to my senses, and now it's snags 'n chips 'beer all the way! Even for breakfast!
Thank you Ms Fits for allowing me to have my say. Good night to you all.
The short bitch off Desperate Housewives has one - I saw a photo in a magazine.
I would like to take this ampertunity to divinculate briefly. You may find my prose either delicium or disgorbian but I must use haste for I fear cramstipation. Pacifically if Specifilexia kicks in and I coombi stuffed making the effort. Alternatively my choonki loonki may turn its’ errant mind to bagoongi and I may seem a total shamington, or worse, craxy. But before you whip out your Bilirubinometer, I would in my defence claim a certain discombobmutation of the cranus. In closing my dear friends, just chillax and dwell on this…Transmandifficanubandancivilarity!
Fneuh! I've finished blodging.
You're right, but I laughed.
Boardshorts for girls.
Specifilexia is definitely my fave. I once had a boss with this condition and I groaned every time she fucked up this oh so simple word. How do people like this get to positions of authority?
Another specifilexicism thingy word wotsit is "reconize". Trying to remember it drove me crazy yesterday, no work done whatsoever. Had a boss who used it all the time, probably used "pacific" as well but I was reeling from "reconize" and didn't notice.
How do folks like that get authority? "The less you know the further you go" - my theory anyway *bows*

As in, "I'm buggerdly tired!" It's the combination of being extremely physically worn, a little bit sleepy, and more than a little bit irritable. Which for me, quite frankly, at the moment is true.
Hang the sheets on the line and hose off. Then soak in nappy san + hot water for 24 hrs, wash with vinegar added. They'll be fine.

chomp is another, it refers to people with a protruding lower jaw.
a grockle is an old person, at least 2 generations above you.
Oh and i had a discussion with someone one day that we have 2 feet, each being a foot, and we wear shoes, so therefore when the shoes are on our feet they should be called sheet, each singularly being a shoot. Of course this would work a lot better if both weren't already words with completely different meanings.
shenaniganarchy - some words are just *meant* to meet and fall in love, aren't they?
as an aside, for years i never knew that 'bint' was an arabic word for 'girl' - because i'd only heard it come (aggressively) from the mouths of lagered up brits, i just *assumed* it was an okay-for-general-company amalgam of 'bitch' and 'cunt'.
the metalinguistic ramifications of this rock me still.
