Who likes to

Who likes to make up words? I do!! It's not fun if you have to use normal, so called, regular words. Have a little weirdness in your life. Be unique. Be you. Be a weird person because that is who you are. (That got deep really fast.) Now use those words, as long as they are not bad, and tell us about them. The CBers want to know what the CBers want to know. Here are some of mine. 

Stummy: combination of stomach and tummy.

Shwip: to attack someone with purse, or handbag

 

P.S. be sure to have auto-correct off, or this will give you a really hard time. Have fun!  :D

I believe I made up the word fantasical... oh well... it might be a word.

Well, my family has an odd adjective we use; Stanley. You use it like this,

"Why you sure are looking Stanley today!" "Well thank you! You are too!"

We also call awesome things plaid. Don't ask why.

Lilium- the state of having a song stuck in your head.

Also, I add -ish or -ness onto the ends of things to change their meanings slightly.

Snug (noun): A surprise hug, often very tight. Ex: She jumped out of nowhere and gave me as snug. Also can be (verb) Ex: Joe snugged her. Roots and Orgins: My dad. Yep, my giant, doctor of a father. 

Swasome (adj): Sweet and awesome. (For those of you who have read Evil Spy School, you'll recognize this.) Ex: It's swasome you're coming to the beach with us! Roots and Orgins: Evil Spy School, by Stuart Gibbs.

Sherblit (adj): Any cute little (optional: fluffy) thing. Ex: Oh, that poor little sherblit! Roots and Orgins: My friend Kate, who uses this with alarming frequency.

We should make a dictionary for made up words! That would be sooo cool!

At some point in 5th grade, my friend and I were creating a language called Leovian. We'll still use it occasionally during passing period, but for the most part, it's a dead language. It had at least 700 words. Some examples:

Purreni: Kitty

Echtus Oda: Red panda (oda means red; echtus means panda)

Lanado: monkey

Yennen: movie

Stupello: dad 

Hallia says tavp. Sorry, Hallia, but tavep was never a Leovian word. Maybe it could mean something like kitchen... STOP WORKING, BRAIN!! LEOVIAN IS A DEAD LANGUAGE!!

It doesn't have to be! I'm working on turning Togruti into a working language (for those of you who don't know, Togruti is the language of the Togruta, a species of sentient alien in Star Wars). A few words include:

ekali: stars

gavanu/gavana: chieftain/chieftainess

sokan: to speak

kinto: spear

lira: sky (named after the sky goddess)

tifoda: house, tent, or other dwelling

nethi: hands

shaasokisa/shaasokiro: shaman (female/male)

shila: beautiful (Shili, the name of the Togruta homeworld, has its origins in this word)

chana: intelligence, especially strategic ability

Example sentence: "Kizra, ta jah kra'in chanyu, qai hontiri'ta en premi d'ar akul?!" (Kizra, you kriffing idiot, why did you run in front of an akul?!) 

So you see, anyone can make a language! Try to revive Leovian- it might prove more useful than you think!

Koda says cere. Wow! Almost a real word, but what were you talking about Ceres for?

The only problem is that I WANT it to be dead. It was taking over my life and I started converting my English into Leovian. Leovie lives on, though. It's the origin of Leovian, a world (island, actually) based entirely off of my imagination. I love it too much to let it go. It had been a refuge for my mind since second grade. Also, even if I wanted to, I couldn't speak Leovian again because I lost the book my friend and I (mostly me) compiled. I could probably find it again, but I'm not going to try for a very long time.

Confusling! I didn't make it up, but my.... interesting.... classmates made it up. One said, "I don't like saying confusing, so I say confusling instead." Pronounced cun-fuz-l-ing.

Ex: This math problem is so confusling!

It can also be used as confuzled.

Hey, I say "confuzzling" too! I spell it with Z's because I've always thought of it as a combination of confusing and puzzling.

I also say "nummylicious" to describe something that tastes so good, it cannot be expressed in proper English.

@Juliet

I can assure you that your classmate most defintely did not make that word up.. It might be a real word, but I used it around my friend who doesn't go to the same school as me, and she thought someone at her school made it up... I thought someone at my school made it up... I think its just a very popular made up word. (confusling I mean although I always thought it was spelled confuzzling)

 

Bubbles says rrnn. He wants me to run! Wait but run has no "u!" He wants me to run without u (you)!

Nope, it is sadly not a word. But Juliet, I do not think your friend made "confuzzling" up, because I use it and practically everybody I know!
