PerfectlyCromulentWord
#101460
This troper's father has a tendency to make words up.
#101461
This troper has made words that make sense but don't really exist, such as ''puppetine'', meaning "having qualities of a puppet". I use it in my head movies when {{Supermarionation}} characters turn into humans but still have the tell-tale signs of being a puppet, such as a SculptedPhysique, shiny skin, or other unhuman traits.
#101462
This troper inherited her tendency toward wordvention from her father. Her usual line of defense when people call her on it is "Shakespeare did it!"
#101463
This troper has been using the word "founditious" in regular conversation for decades. Not once has someone reacted.
#101464
On TheOtherWiki, a user created an article about a bogus word "Antidisrevisionmentarianism". When it was nominated for deletion, he argued: #QUOTE#It's a perfectly cromulent word. Perhaps it needs further etymologic fleshing out and placement into the wiki dictionary.
#101465
The response? #QUOTE#It's a perfectly feculent word and needs flushing out.
#101466
Ladies and gentlemen, can you say "burn?" I knew you could.
#101467
Burn revoked. Troper lost, therefor it is lame and stupid.
#101468
This troper, one morning when he was having a lot of trouble waking up, coined the word "conflarbilated" to describe that sense of foggy, slow-moving confusion. It stuck. His family, and some friends too, have added 'conflarbilated' to their vocabularies.
#101469
As a very young child, this (French) troper made up the word "gob," which essentially means something between "dumb" and "silly" and is usually associated to people (rather than actions).
#101470
This troper's 8th grade algebra teacher wrote "T or F?" on the board, asking the class to prove or disprove a solution to a problem. This troper poked her best friend in the back and said "Torf? What's torf?" It stuck, and though we have not actually defined torf as of yet, once we do, we totally expect to get it into the dictionary =D
#101471
When I was in 5th grade, my history teacher wrote something on the board about how anyone who got a D or F could retake a quiz. She wrote the letters too close together, though, so for the rest of the year "Dorf" was a word meaning "to bomb a test." (Since I'm now a fan of ''DwarfFortress'', this makes the FanNickname even funnier to me: Dorfs are ''definitely'' prone to dorfing things.)
#101472
This troper habitually invents words in everyday conversation, but since this troper has a larger regular vocabulary than most of the people he talks to they just assume they are real words and work out the meaning from context. The standard response when asked what an invented word means is "I'm not sure, but it seemed appropriate."
#101473
This troper has invented a few: "edibilities," for example, means "food," and "purpulescent" means bright purple. His most lexiconized (another one!) word would probably be "midular," meaning "in the middle." He describes himself as a vocabularian.
#101474
This troper, whose friends often complain about her grammar nazi tendencies and ridiculously large vocabulary, makes up new words whenever the situation calls for it. Being an English minor, the only people who really call me on it are my English professors. Well, them and my roommate, who is also a big reader and maintainer of a vocabulary that matches, if not exceeds, mine. Most of my friends and professors let me get away with it, and those who don't just get the common "Shakespeare did it, too" response and nothing else. As an aspiring writer (who currently writes quite a bit of fanfiction), any word processor I use has an expanded and interesting internal dictionary, just to accommodate my dislike for words with the red squiggly bits underneath them.
#101475
06702}} This Troper and her friends use the word oblivafuckingious(pronounced obliva-fucking-ious) to describe someone who was "fucking oblivious",which came about due to this troper's tendency to talk so fast that the words got all mixed up.
#101476
Also "shwa"(pronounced shuwa) as a statement of outrage,irritation or admiration,depending on the tone of voice.
#101477
Okay, not a straight example, but I felt I needed to share this. I just found a random generator that comes up with hypothetical ProfessorLayton titles... and one of the results was "Professor Layton and the Perfectly Cromulent Coeds." Um...
#101478
This Troper discovered the word ''vitrify'' which means transform into glass.. and then, on finding a further word, ''vitrescent'', which means 'having a tendency to transform into glass' (which sounds utterly ridiculous), tried to invent another word that already exists: ''vitrescence'', or "the process of transforming into glass". Does it count if it's a real word that I just gave a new meaning to?
#101479
This Troper has created the phrase "agga shplaga" as a term for when no other can apply properly (typically used in disdain or anger). So far, I can use it as a verb: "It made me so mad, I just wanted to go agga shplaga him!", ajective "He's such an agga splaga", and an interjection "AGGA SPLAGA!!!". I'm still trying to think of more uses for it... Feel free to contribute.
#101480
Years ago, this troper accidently coined the term "contabulistically," meaning roughly "completely, exactly, or fitting the exact dictionary definition." Oddly enough, the first use was to say that something wasn't contabulistically something.
#101481
This troper's younger brother used to make up words when he was a child. Words such as: "stummy" (a portmanteau of "stomach" and "tummy"); "lellow" (a mispronunciation of "yellow"); and, perhaps this troper's favourite, "blagindoodle". (To this day, this troper has no idea what the fuck it means.)
#101482
Of course, this same troper is not himself immune to the family's word vestigeification. (verb: to pull something out thin air) One cromulent example of this is the adjective "yesmanly", which describes someone who acts in a very cretinous manner and does a lot of sucking up.
#101483
This troper and his friend have a hobby of making up words, and it's our goal to get at least one of them into the dictionary:
#101484
Quile (v.): To quietly contemplate.
#101485
Bishloo (n.): A mess of exceptional magnitude.
#101486
Trufactic (adj.): True in a way that is supported by facts (redundant, yes, but *shrug*
#101487
Awlodifferous (adj.): Possessing the quality of being able to hold meaningful conversation with someone for hours on end.
#101488
Huxdux (adj.): Too angry for words (the idea is that when you're mad, you shout "I AM SO HUXDUX", and you feel so ridiculous saying "huxdux" that you feel better).
#101489
This troper created several words:
#101490
Freakazoidical (adj.): weird or awesome.
#101491
Mainteputaindenant (adj.): right fucking now.
#101492
Phrhyhnhzhrh (v.): anything you want it to be (generally replaces "fuck"). Pronounced like "frin".
#101493
Grah! (interj.): expresses surprise or frustration ("!" is necessary).
#101494
Schprah (interj.): expresses frustration, boredom, or joy.
#101495
This troper has been known to do this at times. Her most notable ones being "deriddlify", which means "to solve", and "flotting", which means "to skip around jovially".
#101496
Whenever this troper is at a loss of words, she always blurts out "Zeepoppazeebabal". She also says "Effaphant" when she's pissed off (her way of saying fuck).
