Heh, "Lady Creedback."
ReplyI hate getting the befores
ReplyJust ran out of down votes.
ReplyAnd you notice how anyone has plenty left over for YOU? You see how that works?
How can I make this part of the English language?
ReplyI have evilogue related to my own feelings. Sometimes I feel distressed for some reason, and then I realize is due to the fact that I had remembered something unpleasant but was distracted right after that - I still feel bad, but I can't remember why.

Great! But fleshlight? And please learn IPA!
ReplyI concur.
High five for a reference to the Gits and 7 Year Bitch.
ReplyWhy does the guy in the picture for "the befores" look like he's wearing a priest's collar?
ReplyAnd I think I'll have to write down some of these words, they sound fairly useful. Especially "particulus"... Evilogue sounds like one of those extensive monologues the villain goes into that is completely unnecessary and gives the hero time to plot said villain's defeat and/or an opening for the hero to defeat said villain.
I actually really like some of these. "Swining" might be useful. The only issue with stuff like that is that it would require the complaining party to actually acknowledge that they were being rude in the first place, and if that ever dawns on said party usually it's afterwards. And "evilogue" sounds like something a maniacal super-villain would give before using some overly elaborate mechanism to execute the protagonist, but I certainly run into situations where the chart's version of "evilogue" would apply.
Replydouglas adams (hitchikers giude to the galaxy) wrote many new words in a book when he was in university. most of them named after towns such as "Woking" = walking into a room and completely forgetting the purpose of entering said room with the result that you have to apologise and leave only to come back seconds later and do whatever it was you needed the room for. and "Shoeburyness" = the vaguely uncomfortable feeling you get from sitting in a chair still warm from someone elses ass.
ReplyI can suggest one - scratchgasm, for when you know you shouldn't scratch something but you do and it feels really really good

SOCOM's reply to that was funnier than this comic.
Hmm, I see. I have one for Deniro. I think its Untouchables based but I'm not sure.
The first one would be abused like hell by people who just wanted to do random, inappropriate crap.
Replyheh the album cover said lady creedback xD
Replywouldn't the words technically be invented, as they have been created by the comic artist.
Replythey don't need inventing.
I also have to start using these.
If I may be so bold as to add to that list, there is a word that I devised a few years back, that I find is often useful in conversation:
Reply Hide All See All 4 RepliesAnti-rection - When someone tells you or shows you something, sexual in nature, that is not just disgusting but makes you feel the exact opposite of aroused. For men, it feels as if your penis is attempting to suck into your body. For women, a complete absence of moisture, as if even the default level of personal lubricant has disappeared.
Example: "Did you hear that Lady Gaga has both male and female genitalia?"
"Wow. I have such an anti-rection right now."
lol, i think most people have a word for that.. we say 'derection'
or unrection, norection or resurrection
Fearection. Noun. When someone puts the fear of god into your boner.
I experience a lot of prerections: that moment where you're all, "oh, man, I'm totally about to get a boner in the near future."
Particulus is a word, it's called idiosyncratic.
ReplyNo that's not true. Idiosyncratic is by nature, whereas particulus is from personal experience.
