...but never get to use. Here's the thread where you can do just that. They can be in sentence form, or just random words that you love to say. I'll start things off:
Quibble Canoodle Waffle (not as in the alternative to pancakes, but as in to speak evasively) Shenanigans (I love this word. I use it at every possible moment) Hooligan
Your turn

I use 1337speak IRL. Then again, I'm a nerdy teenager and many of my friends are also nerdy teenagers.

Lurdane. Both as an adjective and a noun.
Well, I do occasionally use it. But not often enough.

Posted by esl (Member # 3143) on :
I've been trying to work 'chill' and 'mad' into my vocabulary, as in 'cool' and 'very', respectively. They're regional uses that are uncommon where I am, and where I'm from.

What's sad is that l33t speak is becoming ridiculously mainstream. Many of my female friends - who have NO connection to programming, hacking, video games, or the like - say "pwned" in real life. And "teh." It's actually kind of terrifying.
Yes, Celaeno, that means Stef.

Hmm, I used "quibble" about 5 minutes and 2 posts ago.
I like "excerebrose" I used it as my puzzle pirates character name.

Funny, my friends who tease me endlessly about constantly being online say "pwned" and "teh" and "stfu" and "rofl" OUT LOUD when I never do.

One of David Letterman's Top 10 lists year's ago was Top 10 words that sound cool coming out of James Earl Jones' mouth. JEJ then appeared from behind the curtain and read them. This one always stuck with me...much better than 'Oprah.'

"Lest." I use lest as much as possible lest people forget how wonderful a word it actually is.
I also like "frak" instead of the usual four-letter invective, though I do prefer the original series' spelling of "frack."
"Plethora" and "dearth" also appeal to my word-senses... Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :

I am known to say, "Where is my big stick?" when someone does something annoying in class like asking the question I just answered or saying something like, "What homework?"

...and I agree, defenestrate is a wonderful word, as is pulchritudinous.
I'm also quite fond of dessicate, but I haven't found much opportunity to use it.

Anything from the game balderdash is fun to use in speech. The only word I can think of right now is steetcher, which either means 'to catch and eel', or 'one that catches eels'.
My friends and I also made up the word bojank (rhymes with toe frank), which we try to use whenever we can, and end up using it a lot while playing videogames.
bojank - 1.to steal, or take something. Usually using extreme force. Followed by lots of trash talking.
ex. DUDE I SO BOJANKED YOUR RIDE BI7CH
2.an all purpose verb to be used where any verb would normally be used.
ex. I bojanked over to Jon's and bojanked his pie while bojanking my foot on the brick.
We've also fairly recently taken up (stolen from the 6th graders from when we were in middle school) adding 'between the sheets' to whatever anyone says. It's great fun for us. Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
