hehe

2. bootlicker - November 25th, 2007 at 8:38 am

One of my favorites has always been defenestrate - to throw someone out a window. Imagine a time when enough people were being thrown out windows that we decided we needed a word for it!

3. SubliminalDeath666 - November 25th, 2007 at 9:05 am

You wallydrag! Lol. It does sound pretty funny.

4. StewWriter - November 25th, 2007 at 9:34 am

I don’t mean to be a sneckdraw, but fampling my children today was just enough to make me girn. Oh, and defenestrating is, unfortunately, not practiced enough these days, ya know?

5. bootlicker - November 25th, 2007 at 9:44 am

Another definition of wallydrag — my boss! And not only is defenestration not practiced enough these days, neither is flensing. I have several neighbors who would benefit from it.

6. ian - November 25th, 2007 at 10:05 am

haha my english teacher called me #8 after over hearing a very profain conversation between me and a friend…then she sent me up to the principal

7. ian - November 25th, 2007 at 10:06 am

8. torn and frayed - November 25th, 2007 at 10:37 am

Ian, we need a word for that, laughing so hard you pee your pants.
Does anyone know if there is one?
Make one up.

9. Ravyn - November 25th, 2007 at 10:48 am

torn: How about

dripulate-laughing so hard you pee your pants

Yeah I made it up

I already knew ‘glossolalia’, because I’ve seen it happen at least once in churches I’ve visited.

Half of these words made me think ‘wow, there’s a word for that? Awesome!’ I especially loved the definition of ‘wample’, though the word itself leaves something to be desired (seriousness).

I checked almost all the words in WordWeb, and most of them didn’t even show up. The few that do (girn, hircine, etc.), I now plan to use in my NaNoWriMo book!

11. NZSpringy - November 25th, 2007 at 2:16 pm

I am not a Sneckdraw but more a Nazzard(NOT). This list caused me to Cachinnate. Labrose as I am I am glad I’m not a Onychotillomaniac! (pity I always wanted to be a maniac of some sort) I will stop Glossolalia and wish you all a good day

12. StewWriter - November 25th, 2007 at 2:19 pm

FekketCantenel / NZSpringy: I love using these words in pleasant conversation and just getting that deer-in-the-headlights look from my temporarily captivated audience! Funny stuff!

13. HKB - November 25th, 2007 at 2:34 pm

I think all of these words have been used atleast once by the mars volta!

14. StewWriter - November 25th, 2007 at 2:48 pm

HKB: I would say you are likely correct. I have a few of their albums and for both being from such ethnic backgrounds they sure know the English language inside and out!

15. Twinkle - November 25th, 2007 at 4:17 pm

great list… im gonna use these words.

16. ian - November 25th, 2007 at 5:02 pm

hahaha dripulate i love it
i think this list needs a notable ommisions and dripulate should be in it…

jamie make it happen

17. Diogenes - November 25th, 2007 at 6:53 pm

–Cant say I’ve ever heard of any of these or will remember them…allready have forgotten, or will ever use them(seeing that I cant remember them …((allready forgotten))
Not to say that this isnt an informative list.

I thought the “glabella” was a laser dot from a long range riffle, pointed from long range by a sniper.

awkward smile face icon goes here.

18. theDEFENESTRATOR - November 25th, 2007 at 9:10 pm

as is indicated by my username thingy, defenestrate is one of my favorite words. ever.

Misodoctakleidist… i’m going to try to use this one tomorrow… heheheheh.

“yerd” is great, too. “mooooom! he yerded me!!!”

another fun word that i just feel like including: boondoggle.

19. Kelsi - November 26th, 2007 at 7:12 pm

I definately know sesamoid being so familiar with horse anatomy. Do people have them though?

20. Kelsi - November 26th, 2007 at 11:08 pm

Update: Humans do have sesamoid bones, however perhaps with the exception of the patella, they are not quite as critical in humans as they are in the horse’s soundness. Thanks, wikipedia. =D

21. mooster - November 27th, 2007 at 1:15 am

I ran a race against this bozo the other day. I thought I had won, but I only yerked.

22. Jim - November 30th, 2007 at 11:33 am

For #25 that should be “bare” and not “bear” one’s teeth.

23. jfrater - November 30th, 2007 at 11:34 am

Jim: you are right - corrected - thanks.

24. Alexandra - December 3rd, 2007 at 4:01 am

Well, I am an onychotillomaniac and a onygophagist.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not a wallydrag nor am I hircine (although, I’m not sure I’m using that in the right context, is it more of a ovine, porcine meaning?)

Another great list. This is fast becoming my favourite website.

25. Amai - December 22nd, 2007 at 6:48 pm

Twenty questions?

Okay.

Um… is it Sesamoid?

Hircine?

Ah the practicle applications.

26. Tomo - February 6th, 2008 at 4:19 am

Under the sub-heading “Words 10-6″, check out the meaning of the word ‘Shatner’.
I’m cachinnating!!

27. Denzell - February 29th, 2008 at 2:17 am

I’ll try to use all 25 of these words in this paragraph (It may not make any sense and I may use these in the wrong context, but this is still fun):

After receiving a call from the school principal about his son’s coproplalomaniac ways, and his teasing of a dendrofilous classmate who wamfles and wears ribazuba jewelry, Ben girned when his son Bob came home and Ben looked at Bob with piercing eyes. He then yerked Bob to a chair and yerded him, saying, “You sneckdraw! That hircine lip of yours must undergo severe chastisement. You wallydrag!” Bob only cacchinated about this because he thought that what his father Ben is saying is mere glossolalia. Ben continues to beat up Bob on his glabella until…

Something in his conscience tells him to leave his son alone and think of better ways to relieve himself of his anger. In those past years, it was always the sight of his wife that calms him down.

To relieve himself of his utter rage, he left the son home alone and went somewhere to reminisce on his hesternal moments with his wife who passed away years ago. He remembered the old times when he met a labrose, gash-gabbit woman who he was attracted to. Aside from that, he, as a crurophilous man, was actually attracted to her simply because she was wearing a miniskirt. Also, he noticed men in black who were trying to steal the woman’s purse. Ben simply ran towards them and punched one of them on the tummy. Just because of this, all of them ran away crying home to their mommas. Oh…they are such nazzards, don’t ya think?

Anyway, to go on, the woman thanked him for saving her life. So, he did not hesitate anymore even a bit to introduce himself to her. Although he noticed this right away in her, he was not turned off although she is an onychotillomaniac and an onygophagist. The timing was just right, they were both hungry at the time, so Ben did not hesitate to invite her to dinner at a restaurant where the piano is played to set the ambiance.

In this restaurant, his favorite was their specialty: sesamoid rice mixed with all sorts of meats and spices, seasoned further with soy sauce. While they were doing some small talk, they franched on the food, saying too that the food is delicious.

Although this was embarrassing on Ben’s part, what he didn’t know is that after he left home at 18, his father established the same restaurant where he is eating in at this very moment. When Ben was a young boy, his dad was forcing him to play the piano, yet he is such a misodoctakleidist, and often told his dad that playing the piano just isn’t his thing. At that moment, Ben’s dad was walking around the restaurant to see if the customers are happy about their service and food. He stopped at Ben’s place and, forgetting to remove the microphone on his mouth which is supposed to be used for public announcements, he said, “Son! Is that you? Come! Play the piano and give my pianist some rest!” Everyone was looking. “Over the years, now, son, you must be really good at playing the piano…” He looked at the woman. “Now, looks like you’ve got a lady friend. Impress her and show her what you’ve got!”

He pointed to the piano near the mullion and asked Ben to step towards the piano. Since he’s got nothing, everyone laughed at him, but for him as of now, this was fun to remember.

Now that he’s a bit calmer, he was walking in the park and he saw a poor kid who was wearing tattered clothes and was hungry. Moved with pity, he fampled him by giving him something to eat and tried cheering him up, telling him that there is still hope to come. Ben realized that he is now ready to go home and talk to his son in an appropriate, non-physical manner.

Whew! That was hard to do!

28. Denzell - February 29th, 2008 at 2:21 am

Okay, that was a looooong comment I made. Please tell me if I missed any of the words listed above, and, by the way, this list sure made me dripulate. (for the definition of dripulate see comment no. 9)

29. Denzell - February 29th, 2008 at 2:24 am

Latly, the paragraph above is a work of pure fiction and I am not using this as reference to anyone or anything.

30. Cyn - February 29th, 2008 at 2:24 am

WOW!

31. Denzell - February 29th, 2008 at 2:24 am

Lastly, the paragraph above is a work of pure fiction and I am not using this as reference to anyone or anything.

32. Vera Lynn - June 21st, 2008 at 6:04 pm

Wow! I am a sesquipedalian and I didn’t know half of these. Better go read the dictionary. It’s one of my favorite books!
