ASF Word of the Day

Jump to new
My favourite new word;


Neologism: 1. a new word, meaning, usage, or phrase.
2. the introduction or use of new words or new senses of existing words.
3. a new doctrine, esp. a new interpretation of sacred writings.
4. Psychiatry . a new word, often consisting of a combination of other words, that is understood only by the speaker: occurring most often in the speech of schizophrenics.

Basically the art of creating a new word.

May I ask if you intend to insert the word STOCKS into any thread, regardless of its relevance?

This is a thread about words, mostly those with which we might be unfamiliar. We all are familiar with "STOCKS", I think, so it's difficult to see the relevance of your head banging post in this thread.
 
Stocks 'R' Us!

My preferred WORD is "callipygous" adjective - a perfectly formed ****.

I prefer lipopygous or lipopygian, as in "lipopygian chair warmers", my favourite description of lobbyists, consultants, and high-ranked civil masters - umm: servants.

Oh thanks trainspotter! :p:
I just tried this on the Mrs and she gave me a big clip under the ear, and then Itried to explain it, and another whack under the ear.

I really hate words like this, no one knows what they mean, AND people take offence they think you are trying to be smart callipygous!!

WHO invents these words?:confused:

Old Homer did. No - not Homer Simpson! The ancient Greek guy, who authored the epics about Troy and Odysseus. He described Circe, the witch that kept Ulysses spell-bound, as "καλίπυγος". That's how old that word is. Certainly beats today's Americanism "that babe's got a great ass".

Honestly Nioka, you're enjoying yourself aren't you, as the bete noir:whip:. ...take that you stocks (and general) threader!

No wonder Garp wants to move his chatting about stocks over here, it's lively for sure. Anyway it's something Voltaire said as far as I'm concerned.

So thats my word contribution for this the thread - Voltaire
