My word I use is “I’ma” instead of saying I am going to. What’s yours?
Fuckwit. Maybe it's a real word, I don't know. I use it quite a bit. I wish I didn't have to use it at all.
@Faithless1 It should be if it isn't.
My word is trashketball. The act of making a game out of putting trash in the trash can! I'll spin and fade and release...It's good!!! And I'm the trashketball King!! Lol
"Nappish": like "peckish", only re: sleep instead.
Also "grok"--not my invention.
Grok - hardcore.
Wont. He drank coffee, as was his wont.
Not sure if it's still in dictionary though.
I use two words that I first heard when I was in the carnival:
The only other place I have heard either word was when I lived on the East Cost (Virginia)
Used in New England, NY too.
I always imagined it being spelled skosh.
@Slappy_Longarms Most of the carnies I was around were from Pennsylvania and New York.
Hodie doe... meaning: Getting a little bored with something, tired, relaxed. Not sure where I picked this up.
I use Imma too. Usually if it precedes something like "whoop yo ass", or if I say something sexual.
Yonder..meaning over there.
Yall...everyone
Buggie. ... Shopping cart
Hosepipe. ..water hose.
All'y'all git yonder.
@Slappy_Longarms lol yes exactly
Turbocrusher. It's the word I use for people that are excessively gung-ho.
Confabulate - combining nonsense to conclusion.
. Comfortablize - to make comfortable.
I was going to point out that I use "et" as the past tense for "eat." But sure enough, it's in the dictionary. So now I don't know what I'll use in place of that.
I'll use "kilt" as the past tense of "killed." These are facetious usages though.
But I can thank Heinlein for "grok," which is now in the dictionary as well.
Been using Avast and Aroint more often.
It is a word but fallen from use. I like using antiquated words...yay, and verily so.
i often use usetabe. it's just convenient.
Could you use that in a sentence, please? I cannot grok usetabe without context.
@Kuildeous well, if I am trying to say something about like "back in the old days ... " then instead I can say "usetabe ... ". Does that help?
@kauva Ah yes, that clicked now. Thanks.
"Yins, Yinz, You'ns"
a contraction of "you ones" similar to the Southern saying "ya'll" (you all) and endemic to Western Pennsylvania
I still occasionally say “ain’t” ... there are probably more entertaining examples I make up on a case by case basis but I just have to run into the proper context to think of ‘em. I’ll get back to ya
Use it a lot an' I ain t gonna stop.
