Words that should exist

[hal bidlack]

A thread in Banter, in which there was an odd debate about the word "troll," caused me to muse about words that should exist, but don't. I mean this in the most lighthearted manner.

For example:

Patricio -- To translate on request, without complaint, and with a willing attitude. "I sure hope I can find someone to Patricio my doctor's handwriting"

Blix -- To search for something under difficult conditions without success. "I blixed the whole movie theater, but never found my keys"

Lindation -- To respond to rudeness with grace. "Bidlack sent me a nasty PM, and I was going to flame him, but I thought better of it and just did a Lindation on him."

earmouse -- A repellant and vile thing that somehow is still fascinating, a true horror that can not be ignored or turned away from. "I saw a photo of Bidlack in a swimming suit once, and let me tell ya, he's a real earmouse."

Pilloryify -- To use random thoughts in an oddly compelling and entertaining way. "At first I thought Bidlack's speech was just gibberish, but then I realized he had pilloryified it to the max."

Lucianate -- The process of suddenly remembering your age, girth, and hairline when a male in his 40s meets a lovely and intellegent woman. "She was so charming, I thought about asking her out, then I lucianated myself and got real.

CFLarsen -- Pronounced "KAFLArsen!!" The sound a Danish person makes when sneezing energetically. "Boy, did you hear that guy, he really let out a CFLarsen!"
:D:D:D

your additions?:) (rule: be nice!)

...if Rick Santorum wants to invite himself into the bedrooms of gays and lesbians (and their dogs), I say we "include" him in our sex lives–by naming a gay sex act after him.

snip

...It could be all forms of gay sex ("I pulled a Rick Santorum with my straight roommate in college"), or orgasm in a gay context ("We fooled around, and then I Rick Santorumed all over his face"), or maybe something weirder ("We bought some broom handles, and we'll be Rick Santoruming all night.")

Of course I do. You weren't around when the Religion and Philosophy section was being spammed by a character called Franko, who posted bizarre and repetitive nonsense about a strange religion he had invented called Logical Deism. He was so over-the-top that I wrote a series of parodies about him called "The Wanko Saga (http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12592)" (follow the link if you want to read them). Other posters followed with even better stuff than my originals, with C4TS doing a brilliant adaptation of Chic Tracts. There are a lot of inside jokes relating to that period in JREF history, but in my opinion, they works are still classics of western literature.

To sum up, though, yes I know what wanking really is, which is why I chose that name for my parody. Since then, other posters have been parodied, but since Wanko was the first, I created the "Wankification" sniglet to refer to this practice.
