Words that ought to exist.

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

Have we had 'jumpoline'? I love that one.

Chobble. Verb. I chobble, you chobble, he chobbles etc. Also chobbling.
As in crunching hard sweets.
I was shocked to find it wasn't in the COED.

to meep and be meepish.

all slightly pathetic and meek and mimsy

Splodger - the TV remote control

winkrin, that half grin winky face that you instantly regret doing to your boss

We need to start putting all these in as entries to The English Project, Kitchen Table Lingo.

I like this one:

FLOORDROBE describes the place that most teenagers use to ?store their clothes? i.e the floor of their bedroom.

Lunk

to lunk around, not doing very much.

invented by DS1 when he was 2.

Fonella - "kif" is a slang word in French. It means to like something

oh jura that was a funny book

i must only have been 10yo so rather inappropriate reading i suppose

but also - scrabster (something about dogs scratching their balls)

omeone mentioned 'threenager' the other day, which is perfect for my DD at the moment.

Swedes - we eat spomlettes (Spanish omelettes)

bacne = spots on your back

craptactuar- another in regard to big family dos

Quantumplating - for thinking about really big stuff
I use this a lot...

I eat Scromlette - cross twixt spanish omelette and scrambled eggs IFSWIM.

Once hear someone say there should be a word for that liitle run/walk you do across a zebra crossing when a car is waiting, or when the green man on a pelican has just turned red. Sort of a hop-skip-and-a-jump...

'pregmant'.

my lovely dd1 said it before she knew better!

I think underwhelmed should be a word.

constracted - my kids use is a cross between confused and distracted.

my dad used to make bomblettes - omlettes with whatever he could find added (I hated them ).

We've had 'wumberbella' for umberella.

'Gockons' for socks, derived when I used to set ds1 up on the chair whilst getting him dressed and say 'socks on'.

Also, 'hostible' for hospital, 'vegebatles' for vegetables and 'brekstaff' for breakfast.

Aeroplanes used to be 'Qweeeeeees' because of th noise they make! We've since moved on from that and they're now called 'hairoplanes'!

We have 'jollop' in this house whenever anyone needs medicine, especially the DCs although DH and I often call it that too. DD calls vegetables 'vegebubbles' and biscuits are 'bitgits'

I found another good one in an email yesterday. Someone apologised for pestering me at such a "buzzy" time. It sums up my life rather well.
