Words I Made Up — The Twenty First



Words I Made Up — The Twenty First by Omar Cherif, One Lucky Soul


It took a full year since Words I Made Up — The Twentieth to follow with another list-article in the series. As mentioned on multiple occasions, once they reach 200 the neologisms will be compiled into one silly and absurdly ridiculous book. They already have and, a decade later, it is about time, so I am currently mid the publishing process. Stay tuned. A whole new language is being invented here while enriching the current one.

Soon you will be able to check the entire collection while sitting on the toilet. Sure you could have always done that on the phone, but there is something rather charming about flipping pages with the same hand used to handle your business.
O’ you Lucky Souls.

Now Onward Forward with the new babies. 

 
 
• Peeromania (n): Impulse-control disorder characterised by an excessive desire to set one's friends on fire. 
 


• Ha!mock (n): Canvas bed suspended from two supporting cords at both ends, which once you lie in starts to ridicule and make fun of you while gently swinging left and right.


 
• Subpoeña Colada: To order or summon someone for a tropical cocktail. 



• Truant (n. and adj): An authentic insect that skips school.



• Congatulation (n): How Latin American drummers express joy between one another. 



• Stresspassing (v): When an anxious person enters someones land or property without permission; equally used when the owner is the one with anxiety. 



• Aboar (v): To loath and detest wild pigs; to regard them with extreme repugnance. 



• Nileist (n.): A distrustful Egyptian cynic.

From the same lands of the Cairopractor* (n.) [from Words I Made Up — The Eighteenth]: Practitioner of complementary medicine treating misaligned joints who is based in the Egyptian capital. 

Some Nilelists can also be either Cairopractors but not necessarily.



• Aroam (v): To move around part aimlessly and part following a specific scent. 



• Insalt
(v): To disrespect someone by throwing white crystalline spices at them anywhere outside traditional weddings.

Words I Made Up — The Twentieth



 
Words I Made Up — The Twentieth by Omar Cherif, One Lucky Soul

The Words I Made Up series first saw the light in September 2015. And just like the OLS Reflections, I had absolutely no idea it will last for almost a decade and counting.

As mentioned in the first list-article, ... My thoughts are often invaded by new single words. Sometimes I wake up with one in my head, such as ‘Jalapeñonated’. Other times, it’s while meditating, showering, reading, or just relaxing.

Knowing that language is beautiful yet elusive and limiting, the trilingual logo-lexophile in me now finds exquisite joy to give the made-up words proper definitions. For perhaps someday they could be used in appropriate situations — even make it to dictionaries and thesauruses. Who knows. Because, when you think about it, one way or another all words are made up. So maybe we should play around with language.
...”

Jalapeñonated’ was later defined as: Being so assertive and dogmatic in one’s opinions that your face turns red and you start sweating and tearing. Yeah, pfff.


The following are the most recent neologisms, reaching 200 babies in total, which will soon be compiled into
one hilariously absurd, ridiculously silly book:   


 
• On the lamb: Running away, especially from police, by riding on the back of a young sheep.



Exaspiration: Feeling of intense irritation or annoyance due to the end of ones life. 



Crag: A stoned rocker who brags till they become a drag.  



Lipelule: A pill-popping French dragonfly.
  


Acanemia: Condition that develops in hard-working scholars when blood produces a lower-than-normal amount of healthy red blood cells.



Limsp: Hobbling in one’s walk and talk.



Cellsius: Scale of temperature inside prison.
 
 

Starewell: Long, vertical passage in a building around which a set of stairs is built that could only be used when one fixedly gazes at it. 
 

 
Embark: When dogs go on board a ship or aircraft.  



Manga cum load: To graduate, with a great bang, with a degree in Japanese comics, cartoons, and animations.

Words I Made Up — The Eighteenth




Omar Cherif at Full Lunacy Drum Circle at Dockweiler Beach in L.A, March 2018 - Words I Made Up — The Eighteenth, One Lucky Soul


The previous Words I Made Up — The Seventeenth was published on 13 April 2019. Today we are 6 July 2021. Instead of the average one article every few months, it took me two years and two months to come up with ten novel words. Quite a telling realisation, which says a whole lot about my latest state of mind. As mentioned before, I used to wake up with some words on the tip of my tongue, not much the case these days. Oh well. Onward Forward, even if at certain parts of the journey we move significantly slow; or even if we stop for a while to look around, or to assess the situation, or to just smell the flowers. What is most important is that, in the Big Picture, one is moving ahead. Enjoint.   


  • Happee: When you’re so cheerful you urinate a little.


  • 3abeedient: Obedient like an Arabic-speaking slave.


  • Capricorn: Edible plant grown on an Italian island.

  • Chai Ti: Meditative martial art practiced solely by tea drinkers. 

  • Procrastination: A country in which everyone is always late. 
 
  • Ossodoku: Braised veal shank which can only be eaten after solving a mathematical puzzle. 

  • Bon Appétitty/Appetitty: A salutation to a toddler who’s about to breastfeed. 
 
  • Standoffice: Being cold and distant at the workplace.
 
  • Cairopractor: Practitioner of complementary medicine treating misaligned joints who is based in the Egyptian capital. 

  • Fish Finder’s Fees: Commission paid to someone who facilitated the location of fish underwater using their own sound-energy instrument.
