My daughter just told me about SQUEE- "Fan girlish interjection"
Credit: Mad Man, episode 3
I think I shall use it this week.
Rated with hugs
"Look at those guys larping all up in there with the swords and shields etm."
One phrase my daughter and I use to mean "bad idea" is "That's heaven spelled backwards." (So many kids are named Neveah! Those poor kids.) Like, when my daughter comes out of the dressing room in a pair of jeggings, I'd say -- "Heaven. Spelled backwards. " Hasn't caught on yet.
Best Wishes,

Happy Blogging,

According to LC Neal's OS Dictionary*, we can directly contribute a few entries e.g. blurking (lurking and blog reading before jumping into the deep end), arguendo (Ann Nichols), borgified (Pilgrim), reduplicators (Con Chapman), and of course we have our dustups and flounces which are certain entries.

That made me have a pisshap.
Wait..Tink was intexticated?
(may as well join 'em, at least for the purposes of this post)
This turned into grogaceous = outrageously grogus.
It didn't catch on much outside a group of 10 people, but I urge you to adopt this term.
Sarah Palin is the definition of grogus.
BTW, I always wondered if "meeps" on the Muppets was a nod to Beldar, et al. of the Coneheads saying "meps".
How's this: Someone who finds nothing new in blogs like mine, not yours) could be called blogse.
Wikidemia was happening when I was in college. Not guilty!
This reminds me that my friend started a FB group about a year ago called, "abbrevs, sweepin' the natsh" aka "abbreviations sweeping the nation."
