Making up words! It's Fun! notice the capital f?

Posted by gem, 3rd August 2009

Quite often I find myself making up works or combining two or more words to more accuratly describe something.

My sister and I came up with the term 'Jordefin', which means 'the joining together of two words to provide a definition'...so....infact....'Jordefin' is a 'Jordefin' as it takes parts of all of the above words, but in doing so, creates a shorter word that you can say with more ease.

Sometimes I pick up on funny word combinations/jordefins that other people use. I think this is pretty sweet to interprete. Below is a made up story by me with these funny combinations, and below I will explain which each means (the words in bold)

On Sunday my *girl crush gave me a call and wanted to have a catch up over dinner at a swanky restaurant. After recently contracting a case of *recessionitis I talked her into going out for a glass of wine and some chunky fries instead.

I hadn't caught up with her for a while so there was tonnes to talk about, but we needed some warm-up *nonversation to loosen the mood and get the *flowversation happening.

After arriving at the bar she comments on how I have become such a *recessionista, and she doesn't understand how I don't have a boyfriend! "Only a *April Fool would pass on you!"

"Thanks babe", I say.

There was an awkward silence, and the pressure was on to carry on the *flowversation. I think, out of nervous desperation she chose to talk about how she hasn't been feeling very well lately...thinks she might have swine flu. She looks really worried and looks at me in question and for reassurance. I tell her she is getting proberly getting overly paranoid from the *problem saturation that is going on at the moment, and that perhaps we should change the subject.

"Hey, I bumped into Michelle last month, on a plane. She was flying to Melbourne for a holiday. Thought I was getting a *ghetto upgrade, but turns out she was in the seat next door. A bit of a random meeting, as she is one of my *Facebookemon, but sitting next each other, you are sort of forced to chat."

"Oh yeah, whats she up to now?, Is she still with Steve?"

"Yeah, she said things are going well. Apparently she left him on the couch at home complaining about not feeling well. She accussed him of having *man flu, he went all silent and started *remote dancing, so she figured something was up, so proabed a bit more. Turns out he had a *dudevorce with his best friend and was just feeling real down about it."

"Oh thats sad, hopefully they will have a *bromance moment while she's away, and they'll be all *mancrushed up on her return. Hey is he still a *bikesexual?"

"Yeah, fully. She says even *sexsuasion doesn't work to stop him going cruising on his bike!.......Anyway, so Michelle and I had a good chat on the plane, figured we should have a wild night out in Melbourne since we were both holidaying it up. The chick infront of us on the plane had an *Aisle Salmon to get her bag! Man I hate it when that happens! You just want to get off you know!.... Anyway, we had a wild night alright! To the point that we had to catch up for a *dejabrew, there was no need for a *spicy edit on that night! I had a bit of a *retro-cringe moment when I remembered I sent a drunken text to that guy I was seeing!"

"Oh no! You didn't!"

"I know!, What an *April Fool!"

"Oh, here are our chunky fries!, I love how they put that spicy stuff on top, gives me a *flavorgasm everytime"

"Yeah, this bar is awesome, but they really need to stop *song binging on that LCD soundsystem song, I swear it's played at least three times since we've been here!, hey can you pass me the aioli? *Brofavor"

Ring ring...........

"Hello?....Yeah Okay!.........I can hear you!! It's not called a *Yellular you know!.......Yeah I'll be home soon.......Just sort out that *laundry limbo you have going on!" (phone hang up)......."Sorry about that babe, I have to go. Good to catch up. It truely turned into a piece of *mental intercourse.

Disappointed that manoberry was not explained in the story I do believe it is crucial to the introduction, history and evolution of jordefins. Plus the recaptcha to stop spam seems to have come up with its own jordefin, "Cancerqueen" I'll leave that to you Gem to determine its linguistic origins.

Oh, the good old manoberry. I think a giant blueberry would be surfice for my man in a berry. Hmmm, cancerqueen, seems appropriate for the 'leader' of the 'spreading' of the tumour that is spam.

Oh, but wait! Another definition... 1. One who holds the power of the Cancer Stick. 2. Only person in a group of people that has cigerettes and everyone crowds around that person like a bunch of hobo's looking for change. They worship the Cancer Queen/King in hopes of even just one Cancer Stick(or cigerette) Joe: Man...I really need a Cancer Stick... Frank: Let's go see the Cancer Queen/King, she's always got Cancer

Manbeat: A beat for men, who like touching men. IE: Drum and Bass. Sausage Wobble: A wobble for people with sausages. IE: Dubstep. Man Rock: Rock music for men. IE: Local NZ Group Kerretta. Man Dance: A dance for men. Best evidenced recently at the Mark Pritchard gig at sandwiches, where there was only two girls (maybe five) and well, I've never seen such a 20 hoodies to every one set of heels ratio! I know this doesn't really fit the post, but I wanted to add my $20!!!

Cancerking: an excessive over-achiever, who makes us mere mortals achivements look like diddly squat. aka Lance Armstrong who laughs in the face of cancer and truimphs over it.

All good words, especially like Cancerking and Sausage Wobble, truely descriptive. Mark Pritchard gig could also be described as a 'sausage-fest', or 'hoodausage-fest'. Heard another good one today, a 'cobra yawn': the involuntary saliva spray from a yawn, much like a cobras venom. Our, one I am quite proud of....a 'shlong black': When you want an espresso, you don't want a short black, or a long black, you want something in between.

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.
