Two new English words

Here's a word I just made up:
Cataphracterpillar-1.n. a heavily armored caterpillar 2. a cataphract that slithers.

$100 dollars to the first person who actually needs to use it.
 
I'm going to steal this word and use it. Then I'll get people to google it if they don't know what I'm talking about.

(a quick Google says that the word doesn't really exist yet)

This. Although I don't know whether I will remember the word. I will attemp to. :p
 
At least they're better off being added to the dictionary than these.

Screenager? Bouncebackability? the hell :cringe:

I know confused is already there but I like to say confuzzled. It just sounds cooler. And fuzzier. :cooool: :)
 
"stensic" looks better because the two c's look awkward together.
 
Aye. And does anyone else think the word "blog" is ugly and barbaric-sounding? Blog...blog...hmm. Not a woody word... but not tinny, either.
 
We need to turn logic functions into standard everyday conjunctions, especially XOR

That's for giving me that idea, Perf of three years ago! :smug:
 
You know, you can create dozens of words by converting a language like let's say Czech or Norwegian to English.

So many words for describing stuff that English doesn't have.
 
How do you even pronounce that? Stencic looks like a Croatian footballer, not like an English word.

First c is probably a soft c, last is a hard c. So, in IPA, /ˈstɛn.sɪk/
 
These words are incredibly aft. Even Reagano I'm sure would disapprove.

Edit: However, I do feel the need to rock the Tolkien-coined word "mathom." :cooool:
 
English needs some verbs of transportation that describe how you came from A to B.

(to) car/cart/cart can from now be used in the following meaning:

Last year, we cart to the ocean and enjoyed our holiday.

Fly and ride as usual. To traine means you went by train. To rocketate refers to space trips. :)
