Made-Up Words

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

not sure if I made it up but I use fantabulous on occasion.... I think I have more but I can't think of them right now....

lol.. I always referred to the TV show Dawson's Creek as Dawson's Crack...lol

You mean it's not called Dawson's Crack, I've been calling it that for years.

Does anyone have a word for the residue on the rim of ketchup bottles?

We call that "Funkage" in my house.

I came up with breasticles one day. It's my female equivalent to the male balls. Instead of saying she's got balls it's she's got breasticles. Also means: Female strength. Often bigger than male balls. An obvious mixture of the words testicle and breast.

After I came up with that word a few years later a similar word was used in a movie I saw, "chesticles", in refering to a female in a similar way. I felt it was still too male.

Ah yes, Breasticles. We use that one a lot to.

And since I teach high school and it's not appropriate to shout out "F***" when I am really angry, I say "tchefuncte" which is the name of a river in Louisiana but has a great stress-relieving feeling.

I also like saying "du bist im gefangenschaft" to my students, which I suppose does sort of have a not-so-pleasant meaning ("you're in captivity" or something similar). In fact, ANYTHING said in German in just the right tone sounds angry. Even "ich liebe dich, Schatzi."

Indeed you are correct. There's always also a little "southern" that comes out in me when I say it so I emphasize the "func" part of the word

This isn't a made up word, but reading raymaga's post made me think of this: We always say "Kartoffelsalat" (in that weird tone people use with dogs) to our dog and she thinks it means "let's go to the dog park!" It really means "potato salad" but for some reason she thinks it means "dog park." Freaky animal, I tell you.
