There are probably many out there with a habit, varying in intensity by the perpetrator, of deliberately mispronouncing or making up words just for a bit of humor’s sake.

I have a mild case of that myself, and one word that I use from time to time (I think I made this up, but I can’t be sure) is “enhungered.”

“Man, I’m completely enhungered. Lets go eat.”

Right on, sister!! I love descriptive words, being told by a little one that you’re gooder is totally fetch.

Now if I could just get past people using nouns as verbs – I guess I just need to find a support group and dialog. (what I can’t fugure out is what’s so wrong with the word talk?)

Hah – recpatcha is “to utterances”

Use these words now! Use them before the media declares them as being code words for “racism”!

As someone who is often accused of being overly suffixy, I am delighted by this article!
