Here's a link to a great site called "Word Spy"

http://www.wordspy.com/index.asp

They keep up a list of brand new words and expression, a lot of it very funny.

An example:
metrosexual: MET.roh.sek.shoo.ul) n. A dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side.

There's tons more.

Dear Dr M,
Thank you for the link, but I'm afraid I can't use it. Since I got my degree I've decided I know enough words. Really don't have room for any more. Addition of new words would force out some old ones, and I might need one of those later.

Fifopathy.

n. A pathological state of the fifo. A disorder of the "first in, first out" principle.
MG
Ps. If I adhered to the fifo rule, addition of a new word would mean I'd lose the word "mama."

That's it. I quit. It's all here. This is a great site, GL!

A random dip into the G's produced this gem:

I'll be lost in here for weeks.

What a gem!

Thank you Gabriel - I had to bookmark it as a reference.

Try it again, MG, I just accessed it fine. Could be the site was down for a bit.

Hey, I found it! Very cool. Already I've learned something. There's a lot of adoxography going on around here.
Adoxographically,

Ps. Dr M, I'll meet you in the aitches.

Concupiscence: sexual desire.

Say them aloud.

Hmmm,

I'm wondering if perhaps the Episcopal Church might just be replaced by the Concupiscable. (or does that thought belong in Dr. M's Christian BDSM thread?)

Hey Fool (and Eff): all women know the odds men count on. You think you're lucky; we merely choose when to take advantage of your lines.

To paraphrase, Good luck is merely the intersection of hard work and opportunity.

frigorific, a. causing cold.

It wasn't just way cool, it was fucking frigorific.

Ahh, the good Doctor has reminded me of a pet peeve . . .

We have Hot, Warm and Warmth and
Cold and Cool,
but I'm not allowed to say I want Coolth.

Dear OnD,
Of course you're allowed to say it. Why not? The question is whether you choose to be understood.

Ps. Adoxography is good quality writing about a trivial subject. Sound familiar?
