Verbage…
I like language, I like the one I use 99% of the time and get annoyed when people who should know better use it wrongly…but I like wrong words too (contradictory moi?!)
So this is my wrongity wrong word list…
Awesomeness: denoting something is awesome, easy.
Ackcherloi/Acktuarly: much better spelling.
Eated: contributed by M+, the act of having eaten.
Speshul: again better spelling.
Electrickery: bonus points for reference
doing LOLcat adding “ing” and “ation” at the wrong time
Purdy and gawn: ‘cos down on the range talk is the kewlest.
Kewl: from V, and useful for when my c isn’t working.
Teef: works for both teeth and thief.
Sees: To see, to have seen, pretty much anything involving sight.
Misunderestimated: thank you Mister Bush.
Prix/fur/de/la: pinching foreign words a grand tradition…
What are your wrong, but oh so right, words?
(and yeah substance will return at some point…)
Adding -age to words (bloggage, for example)
Nom (blame LOLcats)
We also use electrickery in the GOAS house (bonus points for us too
)
Extension of a word with childlike additions (such as lotterywottery)
Adding -ed onto words too (similar to eated, I guess), to provide past participle. Works well with nom too
Crikey, there’s so many I can’t think….
