Wordplay-Monday

Switching it up a little. Every year a team of linguists chooses new words to admit into the dictionary. Every year some don't make it. Here are some words that didn't make it. I kinda wish they had.

*sampleton-the person in the picture that comes with a wallet
*
fruttle-clown feces
*
ploof-to lose a contact lens in a urinal
*crench-to lean against the sink and get your crotch wet
*phib
-to claim you're awake when someboby calls, even though you've been sleeping
*deodritus-the last remaining flakes of deodorant scraped onto your armpit
*leonamania
-a morbid obsession with Ponce de Leon
*pleln-the area between your arm and front yard

What word would you put in the dictionary?

Crenching really wrenches me. But I would add slickery to the dictionary. Its better than slick and/or slippery, plus it rolls off the tongue divinely.

I like the word Pleln, as it is such a useless, contrived little word. No sex, not even love. On the whole, a lot like my last marriage.

These words are all so funny it is hard to choose a favorite but I really like phib because this action definitely needs a word and I just think that crench is hilarious! Thanks for posting this I was laughing here at home by myself. Thats a sign of a good joke!

Hey you Teryn!! I saw your blog on Katie's and thought I would say hello! I liked reading your word play. I have to say that I don't have any clever words to add to the dictionary...but...Clara who is 4 does. She used to say "Nugity" when she would get really mad and it means - to dislike or disagree with STRONGLY. I think that word should be added for sure!
