What We Need Is a New Language

There’s a website where you can submit new words to the English language (but don’t expect to have them in the next Webster’s). It’s called Addictionary.org. A few of my personal favorites from a quick perusal:

bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating.

beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

cashtrate: To buy a house, rendering the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

hairdon’t: A dated or unattractive hairstyle.

reintarnation: reincarnated as a hillbilly

There’s a section by themes on politics wherein we have been named “critizens” (A legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth who thinks and responds critically, sometimes vehemently, to the statements or actions of elected representatives and government officials. See also "blogger."), the war profiteers are “paytriots,” members of the lower house of congress are “reprehensatives,” and what the neocons had for the invasion of Iraq was a “stragedy” (A strategy that results in tragic consequences upon implementation.).

I have a feeling Bob has a few entries he could make….


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
