Invent a New Word by EchHeck

August 26th, 2007 7:06 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Invent a new word, come up with a realistic sounding meaning.

Use the word in common everyday sentences; define for those who inquire.

Task is complete when someone else starts using your word.

I created a couple words. pliffent & sart

You say 'sart' when you say it you do something if you do something and it's just like you did it, it's 'sart.'
And 'pliffent' is a kind of--it's kind of a good word for when you want to say a bad word and it's good.

At least two other people have been using my words--my mom and dad, but others as well. They are both mild swear words I use when I mess up or feel foolish. The video shows me using pliffent in a common context, and attempting to explain it to my dad again. (He keeps asking me about my words.)

Here is also my daddy's livejournal post on the subject.

yeah, she's just so jejune about it. she had started using the words and I was totally baffled what she was saying. then one day she screwed up something and said "pliffent" muttered under her breath and I began to get it. And she dropped a dish she was carrying and said it again. One time I thought she was starting to say "sorry" and then caught herself. But she used 'sart' on its own later and I realized she was basically cussing. I should stop her but it's way better than when she said "Oh God!" while using the camera this weekend.

you just wanted to say jejune.

I'll use any damn word I please
posted by Burn Unit on August 28th, 2007 4:48 AM

You're just jealous I used it first, if obliquely and not perfectly on point.

I suppose I could have said je ne sais quoi, but chose not to in favor of the tighter turn. But if burn unit wants to get sesquipedalian on a bitch, I'll get sesquipedalian on a bitch! (I have also wanted to use sesquipedalian; you gonna make somethin with that too?)

ne pêche pas, n'aime pas les eaux, les mers. mange tomates, moi. mais ce pêche en que penses, peut être pêche de divague ou pêche de la tour biblique? ah tu con tes mots memes, mots homonymiestiques, alambiqués.

c'est clair que je n'ai pas connu ton pêche puisque les frères m'enseignaient. ne sont les memes que ont dressé le mahan, non.

nous ne faisons pas le pense, nous pensons. et ce sont oui le temps libre en la baie de l'est, c'est simplement que payons moins, en loyer, et apparaissent dits temps. j'adore las langues, fils à papa, et j'adore en plus le mer. est-ce que je confesserais jamais utiliser un pêche comme toi, pour tricheur.

enfin, le monde parle français, et pour quoi? tout le monde parle-m-il cette langue ancienne parce que c'est la lingua franca.

1 Και ολόκληρη η γη ήταν μιας γλώσσας, και πράξεων 2:6 2 μιας λεκτικής γλώσσας Και ήρθε να περάσει, όπως ταξίδεψαν από την ανατολή, ότι βρήκαν μια πεδιάδα στο έδαφος Shinar και κατοίκησαν εκεί. Shinar Dan 1:2 3 Και είπαν ενός σε άλλος, πηγαίνουν, κάνετε το τούβλο, και τους καψτε λεπτομερώς. Και είχαν το τούβλο για την πέτρα, και slime τους είχε για το κονίαμα. 4 Και είπαν, πηγαίνουν, μας χτίστε μια πόλη και ένας πύργος, η των οποίων κορυφή μπορεί να φθάσει στον ουρανό unto και μας κάνετε ένα όνομα, για να μην διασκορπιζόμαστε στο εξωτερικό επάνω στο πρόσωπο ολόκληρου διεσπαρμένου του γη Luke 1:51 5 Και ο ΛΟΡΔΟΣ ήρθε κάτω να δει την πόλη και τον πύργο, οι οποίοι τα παιδιά των ατόμων builded. κάτω από το GEN 18:21, PSA 53:2 6 Και ο ΛΟΡΔΟΣ εν λόγω, Behold, οι άνθρωποι είναι ένα, και έχουν και μια γλώσσα και αυτό που αρχίζουν να κάνουν: και τώρα τίποτα δεν θα σταματήσουν από τους, τους οποίους έχουν φανταστεί για να κάνουν. 7 Πηγαίνετε, πηγαίνετε κάτω, και συγχύσετε εκεί τη γλώσσα τους, ότι μπορούν να μην καταλάβουν μια του άλλου ομιλία. εμείς GEN 1:26 8 Έτσι ο ΛΟΡΔΟΣ τους διασκόρπισε στο εξωτερικό από από εκεί επάνω στο πρόσωπο όλης της γης: και έφυγαν μακριά για να χτιστεί η πόλη. Επομένως είναι το όνομα από τον αποκαλούμενη Βαβέλ επειδή ο ΛΟΡΔΟΣ εκεί συνέχυσε τη γλώσσα όλης της γης: και από έκανε από εκεί το ΛΟΡΔΟ τους διασκορπίζει στο εξωτερικό επάνω στο πρόσωπο όλης της γης.

and where might lank's adroit and severalizing voice be this day? after absolving all pernicious parts of now-pure yellowbear, he should persevere, presenting unintermittedly such stalwart settling of strifeful spiels.


trusting comparably that burn unit's comportment was not a sporadic, erstwhile pique of concentrated conniption, i expect his rejoinder will soon also be disembogued incontrovertibly, reinstating routed repute.

also after rereading the livejournal... i've decided to insert sart whenever possible in professional and not-so-professional settings. is it incorrect to pronounce it with an -re at the end?

Um... sorry to say... but pliffent was apparently used in 1765.

Go here first.

So, it's pliffer? To pliff? I get that they're supposed to be 's' sounding... so... plisser? To pliss? Wha?
