Words that aren't...

I am in a goofy mood today and wondering who uses words that aren't really words...  Yesterday, my stepson got angry with me for saying "ginormous" rather than giant...  I told him it was "my word" and he could use it for a fee-one penny per use (jokingly)...  He promplty paid me a dollar for the right to use my word...

So, on that subject, I love ginormous, fantabulous, freaktastic, and all sorts of other oddities that are not grammaticly correct!!!

Do you make up your own words???

Are you willing to share them???

If not, you should try it....  It is SOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

Lagalicious (referring to online gamers getting 'lag' or internet slowdown while playing).

Example: "Man, playing on this server today has been absolutely lagalicious". =)
