Words that ought to exist.

[S1ur]

Pedants' corner seems most annoying appropriate place to ask.

It once took me quite some time to convince DP that after snow had fallen it had not, it fact

snown

[ChickenBurger]

Hmm, I thought administrate was/should be a word but apparently it's administer.

[HuwEdwards]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Swedes]

A "die in". A lie in where you are not merely snoozing but really dead asleep. As in: I've been up four nights on the trot with my teething baby and I'm desperately in need of a die in.

[S1ur]

yes indeed swedes. though that just maeks me think of protests.

Tis all a bit dictionary of liff.

[Desiderata]

Prinkles ought to be a viable substitute for chin stubble.

[franke]

"louding" according to ds1 is what smoeone is doing when operating noisy machinery - anything from a hand drill to a road digger.

Discombobulated.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Oho

I gromf peanuts regularly

[Ecmo]

you should wear "glubs" to keep your hands warm in winter
they are much easier to say and spell than gloves!

[S1ur]

I swibbled my wine at the weekend. A quick swig and accidental splash.

[franke]

Oh yes, ds1 (again) has glubs. He asked me to buy him some gobbles for when he goes swimming.

Second discombobulated. And thingamajig should be recognised as a proper word too. (Although I haven't bothered to check a dictionary, maybe they are.)

NotDoing, small children using regular past tenses where they should be irregular are actually doing something very clever. They have never heard these words - they are using logic to deduce what they should be if the rules were followed. So your dd should get a big gold star.

[Ecmo]

does faff exist? I use it all the time.

stop faffing about or
It's all such a faff.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

yy Edam - The Virtuous error IIRC

I heart faff

Also faffling

[EffiePerine]

oh yes I say glubs. Much better word.

[EffiePerine]

Surely faffing is a word? You'll be telling me doodah isn't in the dictionary next

[AllFallDown]

Glumful. I was feeling most glumful.

[Goober]

HOSSING.

"That boy next door drives so fast. He went HOSSING down the road."

[Ecmo]

thingamajig and thingamabob are already real words

[Goober]

TOOT.

What a load of ol' TOOT!

[Swedes]

Chomelette for a cheese omelette.
