I Spy a New Word!

A colleague just shared this fun yet surprisingly useful site with me moments ago. I LOVE to make up my own words myself (I had a major case of truckitis last night) so I was inspired instantly. Fortunately for you, GG guests, I am going to practice some friendsourcing today. There will be no peanut-buttering allowed and if you stick around long enough, you might find yourself in a peep culture. Confused? Go to this site to decipher my new words!!

GG challenge: Use at least 3 new words that you find on this site today in conversation!!
And before you go, be sure to stop by Words of Whimsy to see some of GG’s own creations.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have some chairobics to take part in while watching football players posterize each other.

Those that know me know I like to make up words . . . or use words that aren’t used too often. HaHa!! Hey, it did wonders for my daughter’s vocabulary. She was the only two year-old around who used ‘perhaps’ regularly in her everyday language.
Here are a few of GG’s made-up words for your summer use!
~ resigoo = the stuff sticking to you after a bikini wax
~ teenile = someone who is way too old and/or out of shape for what she/he is wearing (like various women I see at the pool – or the 60 yr. old man in a Speedo!!)
~ spenny = my short version for expensive (Sure I like that bathing suit, but it’s kind of spenny.)
~ fifty-footer = someone who looks really attractive from 50 feet away. Closer examination reveals . . .
