I came across this ‘word salad’ post by Raili over at Soulgifts. Some of these word associations are just hilarious!!! I hope you enjoy these neologisms as much as me and Raili’s readers have.

 

Saturday Smiles – Words, Words, Words

 

 

Neologisms 

new words or a new use for an old word, or the act of making up new words

in mental health used to describe a symptom of brain dysfunction

as is the delightful term word salad used to describe a string of random words

 

Now, down to business.

Cobs over at Cobweborium Emporium  brought my attention to this delightful list from the Washington Post’s annual neologism contest:

  1. Coffee (n), the person upon whom one coughs.
  2. Flabbergasted (adj) appalled over how much weight you have gained.
  3. Abdicate (v) to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
  4. Esplanade (v) to attempt an explanation while drunk.
  5. Willy-nilly  (adj), impotent.
  6. Negligent (adj), describes a condition in which you absent mindedly answer the door in your nightgown.
  7. Lymph (v), to walk with a lisp.
  8. Gargoyle (n), gross live-flavoured mouthwash.
  9. Flatulence (n), emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.
  10. Balderdash (n),  a rapidly receding hairline.
  11. Rectitude (n),  the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.
  12. Pokemon (n), a Rastafarian proctologists.
  13. Circumvent (n), an opening in the front of boxer shorts worn by Jewish men.
  14. Frisbeetararianism  (n), (back by popular demand):  The belief that when you die, your soul flies up onto the roof and gets stuck there. Oh yes there are more!!!! Please continue reading HERE

  9. I love neologisms. I have several lists I’ve collected over the years. Makes you wonder what people are doing when they coin these words. I’ve always envisioned a group of renegades around a table in a pub downing beers and shooters while laughing their arses off 🙂 ❤️

  14. Thanks so much for sharing these smiles, Debby. They are hilarious. I had to pop over and read the rest. I thought percycution was pretty apt for baby naming these days. 🙂
