I've grown a special liking for words that aren't real words. Nekkid and nakey especially.

What words that aren't actual words tickle your fancy?
 
Nigs. It's my favourite thing to say. It means "I'm not doing it". Doorbell rings? Nigs! Time to make a new pot of tea? Nigs! We're out of milk and someone needs to go to the shop and it's raining outside? Nigs! Great word.

It came from when we were children playing football on the green, it stands for "not in goals", and it stuck.
 
Schexy has become a firm favourite - to be said a la Sean Connery.

DH & I call each other 'doorbell' meaning adorable.

Ni - no explanation needed.
 
productful and snarf
 
Struntly.

From a language a few friends hand in HS that would allow us to speak about things without being understood.

Check out my new purse- Oh, Struntly.

(Friend breaking it down on the dance floor) Hey- get Strunt.

You get the drift. It is funny but lame all rolled into one awesome non word I use as a word.

That is all I've got.
 
Hibbity. I'm not sure how it came about but I said it to the dog one day when I wanted him to move...and he moved. So from then on out hibbity=get out of the way. It's constantly evolving, pro hibbity, hib to the hob, hibbity on out...but they all mean the same thing...move it!
 
Babyness! LOL. It's my pet name for DH. Confuzzeled
 
This might not count, but I like to use real words that nobody uses anymore, like higgledy-piggledy and pell-mell.

We use made up expressions like: we'll cross that bridge when there's water under it.
 
The word/phrase "Ima" annoys me...
 
Realistical.

Cross between realistic and practical. Heard someone accidently mix them up a while back and decided I should adopt it.

And fixin. As in "I'm fixin to go to the store".
 
"fixin" IS a real word! I use it all the time.
 
I LOVE nonsense words and neologisms. Culturally, I think the latter point to issues of concern: see, "bridezilla," which could only come from a society seriously concerned with the issue of women in control, even of something as "minor" as a wedding, or "bromance," which, yeah, indicates some deep-rooted worries surrounding homosocial behavior. So telling!
 
"Murf" used to refer to this resigned harumphing sighing sound my dachshund makes at surprising relevant times. In an conversation, "I think we need to give the cat more attention" Dog: "Murf".
 
I call Micah's bottle "baba." (Like bah bah.) I say it so much that now if I ask him, "Do you want a baba?" he gets all excited lol.
 
Jerkface.

As in... "Why the bleep does that *jerkface* have a drivers license!"

I have also started substituting the first letter for all of my usual expletives. I just say, "F", or "S" now. That makes them a new word, right?

I have a 7 month old. I'm practicing for the future.
 
I enjoy Schmexy, padiddle, and lmao.
 
Shizzballs & fustercluck!

LOL, one of my best friends has been using Shizzballs along with Amazeballs- your word is spreading! ;)
 
I thought of more clusterf***, fantastical, beautimous, loverly.
 
I've used "ginormous" since I was a kid, but it seems to be an actual word now.

I'm a fan of "loverly."
 
FUSTERCLUCK! I love it. A guy in my office calls it a "Charlie Foxtrot" as in "Yeah, today's been a real Charlie Foxtrot." Oh the joys of working with ex military guys.

Personally, I like beautimous for beautiful ("Oh, that's beautimous!") and zactly for exactly. I used to use "rahr-y" for really bad days (the kind of days when you wish you could just roar like a lion and make people leave you alone), but that kind of faded.
 
One of myy favorite non-word is Kadooz in place of Kudos...thank you Ramona Singer of NY Housewives...she is Mrs. Malaprop!! She's usually good for one mangled word per episode!
 
fugly
sperminated
cankles
blingalicious
 
sperminated! lol!!!
 
pooh cakes..yep made it up one day i said it instead of the s word, so now when something goes wrong I say pooh cakes, lol, i know i am weird :Up_to_something:

I've always loved baba and binky. My sister's kids are grown up now, so I guess those two have been around for a long time.
 
I have been a big fan of "No'nt" since I was a kindergartener. It is a conjunction of the words No and Don't and very handy when you grow up with 2 siblings.
 
I thought of what I used to say as a little kid when my brother would hurt me. Here goes, (please keep the snickering to your selves) "Ouchie Pouchie Cance on Douchie!" I have NO idea what in the hell I was thinking. It just came out. My brother still yells "Ouchie Pouchie" when he accidentally runs into me or something. :rolleyes:
 
HI:

Booty. :knockout:

cheers--Sharon
 
Cammie'd- to be covered in fur.

My bf's cat is named cammie. She is the fluffiest short haired cat i've ever seen. Tons of hair, sooo fluffy... and she sheds a lot. So whenever we have cat hair on us, we've been "cammie'd"
