New Words Saturday!
Just a few new words today. But some that I'm rather fond of because I tend to think of myself as a very clever monkey.
Asstute - (ass-toot) keen observation of someone's rectal trumpet capabilities. I am incapable of thinking of this new word and not thinking of my good friend, Ryan (aka @dirtymushroom) which is almost certainly as he would like it!
Awlarm - (awe-larm)a freakishly piercing fire alarm that feels like someone is driving an awl into your brain, much like the one at my school today.

Friday New Word of the Day BLOW OUT
My manager just told me these new words have got to be moved out, they're taking up space and we've got to start making space for all the new 2010 models (though it looks like the Toyota line may be delayed). Anyway, here's a whole ton of new words to add to your vocabulary just don't be all Washington Post-y and steal them to pretend you came up with them on your own, that's lame.
Tasklost - lost in the swirling maelstrom of an out of control tasklist. Side note, I just read an interesting idea, instead of making a To Do list, try making Don't Do list, it should be shorter.
Banus - bonus anus, you got one asshole and were gifted with a second one.
Corno - pornography featuring corn.
Soilitary - people who don't bathe often, are dirty (or soiled) and are often alone are considered soilitary types.
Tokel - someone who becomes a yokel when they smoke dope.
Dimmy - dim dummy. Yes, its redundant but I enjoy saying dimmy, as in "Don't mind him, he's just a dimmy".
Cramp out - when you are on a long bike ride (or run) and you cramp up so badly that you have to wait for a pick up, the time spent waiting for the ride is the cramp out.
Fassel - a fast vessel. Created when Cyclelicious misheard me while mountain biking the other day. But its a good word and its going into the book.
Champang - the feeling of regret after getting really drunk and stupid on champagne.
Distall - a distilled installation, a barebones software installation.
Hornon - horny moron. See here for an example of a hornon.
Portraded - positive/negative portrayal solely for the purposes of pushing through a trade (think Manny Ramirez pretending to be hurt so the Red Sox would trade him).
Portarded - portrayed as an imbecile.
Perude - perusing prudes. Like window shopping for sexual frustration.
Furstration - frustrated over fur. Think the increasingly ridiculous PETA.
All these new words are simultaneously cross posted to my Fictionarium. Head over and have a peruse.

New Word Stream of Consciousness
When it rains...water falls from the sky. When I create new words, they sometimes come in bunches. Here's a bunch.
Smarticle - smart article. Something you read that makes you think.
Of course, this leads us to a few other new words:
Starticle - a starting article, one that leads to a series of articles.
Sparticle - an article about Sparta or possibly an article about sparring.
Tarticle - an article about a tart or person of, uhhhhh, looser morals.
Hearticle - an article that deals with or tugs on the heart.
Barticle - an article dealing with Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) or Bart Simpson.
Of course, all new words posted are archived at my Fictionarium to make it easier for the Washington Post to come and steal them and pretend like they came up with them all by themselves. No, I'm not bitter.

New Word Blowout!
That's right folks, its a New Word Blowout, we are moving these new words and you can get a great deal on one of these shiny new beauties. All of these news words will be posted here and then posted over the IP Fictionarium individually if you care to rate them (which would be great as I crave feedback and validation of just how clever I am). So they are in no particular order.
Indensity - dense intensity. People who are deeply passionate about something they don't know enough about to form a complete opinion. The people who hold poorly spelled protest signs, anti-gay rights activists, Glenn Beck, these are the poster children for indensity.
It is a very difficult condition to overcome with logic and reasoning because the positions are so entrenched as to be underground where they can't or won't hear you.
Dividences - divided by differences.
Techxorcism - tech exorcism, driving the poltergeists and demons out of a computer or a network through a combination of voodoo and reinstallations. It is unlikely that I'm the first to come up with this mash-up new word but I'm pretending that I am.
Troubleshat - troubleshooting stupid shit.
Maneuvure - take maneuver and mash it into manure and you get maneuvure which means a shitty move, nasty thing to do, like sleeping with your best friend's ex or eating someone else's lunch in the company break room.
Horrifuck - sex with a horrible person or someone that makes you feel horrible.
Uncome - the opposite of income.
Twetiquette - twitter etiquette.
Hardor - ardor, or intense feelings of love, made more difficult to sustain, i.e. harder ardor.
Pission - pissed on passion. The "Not tonight, dear, I have a headache" syndrome.
Forture - fortunate torture. The only example of this I can think of is how the use of torture during the Bush Administration was used as a major recruiting tool for the terrorists.
Stathroom - staff bathroom.

My Expanding Twitter Lexicon
Over the course of my time on Twitter, most of it highly enjoyable interactions with friends and new friends around the world, I've created a growing lexicon of Twitter words. Here is that list of words as it grows. These new words are also logged in with all my other new words in my Fictionarium.
Tweeterhea - an explosion of tweets on Twitter after a prolonged period of no tweets at all.
Twignorant - not knowing about Twitter or not knowing about some of the culture of Twitter including txtspk abbreviations like LOL, WTF and BFF.
Twitterati - the creme de la creme of the Twitter world.
Twitbag or Twithole - someone who follows you on Twitter in order to get you to follow them back and then they unfollow you.
Faillow - follow fail, i.e. someone follows you on Twitter in the vain hopes that you'll automatically follow them back. For whatever reason, you do not follow them back and that is the very definition of a faillow.
Twurfing - astroturfing (Wiki - neologism for formal public relations campaigns in politics and advertising which seek to create the impression of being spontaneous "grassroots" behavior, hence the reference to the artificial grass, AstroTurf) via Twitter but includes the marketing wonks/SEO "experts" who use Twitter to expand their network of contacts.

Update: There's more.
Twetiquette - Twitter etiquette

Today's new word is brought to you by the train wreck that is the Straight Talk Express in selecting someone as poorly qualified and possessed of extremist religious beliefs along with investigations of abuses of power and ironic personal events to counter public policy beliefs (hard to say abstinence sex-ed works when your own teenage daughter is expecting, eh?)

cundidate - a hateful female candidate. See Sarah Palin.

People like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are blundits since they say whatever appeals to their audiences without regard to its factuality.
lipstuck - a worthless obstacle to discussion of real issues facing the nation is the definition of being lipstuck. Extra points for recent relevancy but the term holds for other derailing issues as well.

Rate My Fictionarium
It occurred to me last night that I should see about adding ratings to the new words I create and post here and on the Fictionarium.
Imagine my joy when a quick Google search discovered that ratings are already built into the draft.blogger.com. I'm still monkeying around with getting the ratings to be visually synergistic with the rest of the blog but its pretty much under construction until I can get back to it and get all the old sidebar info added back. This is one of the problems with upgrading to the new layouts.
I wish there a way to add ratings to individual posts that linked into those ratings over there but I'm just not that good. Yet. I'll keep looking around for add-on systems that allow me to do things exactly as I want to do them.
In the meantime, head over and rate some words! Please.
[Update: I'm actually thinking that I might end up using a third party solution as its more extensible and flexible for my needs. But rate away in the meantime anyway, its all good.]

NWoTD - Reintardation
Reintardation - being reincarnated as a mentally handicapped person.
Found over at Ryan's blog as a response to an op-ed piece about Ben Stiller's latest movie, Tropic Thunder, in which the use of retard is rampant. The movie, from almost all accounts, is flipping hilarious. Unless you like your humor to be all PC and non-insulting like.
