AIBU to find this obnovious?

I'm going to use it when someone is being really obnoxious and they know it and are really in your face about it and don't care... Obnoxious/obvious = obnovious. Great word!!

acasualobserver · 17/03/2016 16:36

acasualobserver, what context are you going to use obnovious in? Genuinely interested

I am going to use it to mean obviously obnoxious. George Osborne is obnovious, for example.

DonkeyOaty · 17/03/2016 16:37

Obnovious is a great word. Adding to my lexicon, love embiggening my vocabulary.

TheoriginalLEM · 17/03/2016 16:38

obviously obnoxious? Grin

Twitterqueen · 17/03/2016 16:39

I do love these threads. They cheer me up immensely!

Obnovious = obviously noxious [in my head Wink]

So Donald Trump is clearly humongously obnovious

Twitterqueen · 17/03/2016 16:41

Theoriginal Too many 'ob's I think - I like my definition better obviously

iklboo · 17/03/2016 16:42

I like obnovious too.

Beats DS's new word 'gimungous' (hybrid ginormous & humungous).

TheoriginalLEM · 17/03/2016 16:42

To be honest, im oblivinious to the obnovlousity of the comic, its just not very funny

MTPurse · 17/03/2016 16:44

Obnovious really rolls off the tongue, I like it!

Auto correct does not like it though, I had to argue with it for a while Grin

Giumungous using ginormous and humongous in a new hybrid is so...meta. Squared.

Pipbin · 17/03/2016 16:46

I don't have a problem with it at all, its certainly not obnovious.

Do people really need to have is spelled out that sexism can cut both ways?
If it had said 'can you be a week woman and wash my pants/clean the kitchen/make my dinner' would that have been better?

Is it the 'suck my dick' bit that makes it obnovious?

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 17/03/2016 16:47

I am obsolutely not clutching my sides, but it's fine.

iklboo · 17/03/2016 16:48

Very true Sprink. I hadn't thought of it like that. Quantum wordplay.

Buzzardbird · 17/03/2016 16:49

I find it quite unambiguine.

WhereDidAllThoseYesterdaysGo · 17/03/2016 16:50

I think if you're going to use it in reference to Gove that obnobious is more appropriate.

Obviously a nob

1manwent2mowWent2mowameadow · 17/03/2016 16:51

gianockapod is a word we use for huge, like George Osborne is a gianockapod twat. I don't know where it came from tho!

WeveGotAHomelessLove · 17/03/2016 16:53

haven't even looked at the picture but I'm loving the word obnovious
I'm going to use it as much as I can today.

I'm now off to tell my sister how obnovious I think she is.

Topseyt · 17/03/2016 16:56

Gove is obnovious, true.

Trump is even more obnovious. Trumps them all in the obnoviousness stakes. He is gimungously obnovious.

DontCareHowIWantItNow · 17/03/2016 16:59

YABU. Not sure what the issue is.

It's just highlighting it works both ways.

InvictusVersinium · 17/03/2016 17:03

Yanbu to have invented "obnovious" because it's brilliant.

I concur. Thank you, OP. Wink

steff13 · 17/03/2016 17:05

I love obnovious. It's a very cromulent word.

You win the day for the use of the cromulent. Love it.

I clicked the thread to find out what obnovious means. I think it means obvious + obnoxious.

liz70 · 17/03/2016 17:07

I'm going to start a petition to have "obnovious" added to the OED.
