Kevin's Watch

As revealed to 'Watchers' in another place, the other night I accidentally invented a new word for when politicians are sincerly spouting stuff they patently know (as does every body else) to be untrue. 'Bollotics' - it's a cross between polotics and bollocks and your average politician is a master of the art. (eg David Cameron's pledge to curb the 'Bonus Culture' and 'reward of failure' that pertains in the financial sector of the UK economy - their donations keep the Tory Party afloat)

My second claim for a new word - again a composite - is 'Quonitation' A quonitation is a quotation with a very definite conitation to it. Here are a few examples:=

"When shortage of time prevented the bill (Equal rights for same sex partners as married couples) from being read, Ministers were accused of trying to slip it in the back door"

"She (Mrs Thatcher) has promised to help the small firm - may I enquire the small firm what?"

Judge to a minor being questioned about his spending a night with Michael Jackson at his 'Neverland' home " And did Mr Jackson, at any time, offer to show you his bannana".

So come on Guys - you get the drift. Post your word, stake your claim and who knows, in 1000 years time your word may still be surfing high in the lexicon of the day.

I've been known to do that.
The funniest one [though it may be a "you had to be there" funny]
was my word [have I mentioned this elsewhere before?]
Clittering. which I meant to be a combination of "chittering" and "clattering"
those who heard it went a much more "adults only" direction with their interpretation.

Connotation.

My wife fell on the floor laughing when I was ordering pizza by phone and, wanting mushrooms and pepperonis, I said "Mush-a-ronis". The funny part (I thought) is that the person taking the order knew what I meant!

My sister was born nerve deaf in one ear. As a result, as she was learning to speak she would not hear (or repeat) things properly. This led to her own little language. My mom compiled a dictionary of them at one point.
Pretty much only one word from that childhood lexicon made it into our everyday usage, though. In our house, ice cream is called "gweemie" (pron gwēmē).
In later years, she misheard me saying "frozen yogurt". It turned into "fuzzy doughnuts" and we still call it that.

Fun post! I love "Bollotics"! LOL

"klackabuzz" - a twirling, buzzing machine of undetailed description
Origin: invented by my 4-year-old as a fictional justification to collide into his younger brother.
Usage ex.: "The klackabuzz is twirling, and going to hit into you if you don't avoid it."

Now in use by the younger child as well, for some reason.

I'm gonna claim aglithophile even though Hyperception helped a bit. Someone on here even used it in a piece of work (permission was requested and granted)

Conniptionist definitely mine too. Beats the hell out of 'someone who gets conniptions'.

In real life, 'chickachickaEEEEEEEE' is my invented verb that means to brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush.

trumble - trip/stumble. how i usually walk.

"Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious"

heh...reminded me of:

Mohandas Gandhi walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He ate very little, which made him rather frail. And with his odd diet, he also suffered from bad breath. This made him a super-callused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis.
