Your Word Here! |
|
Mirage – an eye con.
Is there a way to search for previously submitted and/or accepted words?
Thanks – good idea – we added a search bar last week when “tech support” had a few minutes.
We have an ongoing collection of words and phrases that we collect from friends and co-workers. You can't make this stuff up!
ENGLISH AT ITS BEST
These are some of our favorite language faux pas. Some have to be shared in sentence form in order to recognize the intended definition.
Collected by
Monica Moore and Susan Nekimken
Antidotal Notes – Better known as anecdotal but who knows, these notes must be cleaner.
Autobahn – Nope, not the driving kind but used for elevating the feet, as in, “Will that autobahn (ottoman) go well with that chair?”
Beta Agnostic – Also known as Beta Agonist or a bronchodilator that is dissociated with any formal religious belief.
Cadiver (cadaver = corpse found underwater?)
Concure (concur = to agree) Misstated by a nurse, hence the added “cure” component.
Conundrun – (conundrum = moving puzzle?)
Cooprating (Cooperating = obliging but caged)
Copulated (“I will share the information with you after all the data has been copulated” Think about what you could do with that one.)
Disconcerning (Similar to disconcerting but with an empathetic flair)
Encrouchment (encroachment = intrusion or infringement to a specific body part?)
Epithany (Epiphany = revelation with meat)
Exasperation (exacerbation = a worsened or aggravated state with some added frustration)
Extrenuating (extenuating = mitigating or justifying with a little added physical exertion)
Exuberations (She consistently demonstrated her energy with exuberations)
Great Dame (a large [female] dog)
Humand Resource (Human Resources Dept.)
Irregardless – (another favorite, often used to accentuate Regardless)
Meninginoma – (a little added flair to Meningioma = slow growing, benign tumor)
Mortar & Pedestal – (Pestle with a base to stand on)
Mute – used to mean moot = doubtful, debatable (for a mime)
Nagative (Negative = pessimistic with an annoying element)
Orientate (Constantly erroneously used for Orient = to familiarize)
Practicable (Practical = sensible or realistic and adaptable)
Precautious (cautious = careful or vigilant) Maybe a good description of anticipatory caution?
Quandering(“I was quandering around the mall wondering what would be the perfect gift.”- Wandering in
puzzlement)
Rachteristics (Characteristics – written by the victim of a severe case of dyslexia)
Retrieve (used as an alternative to reprieve = pardon or amnesty) “The Physical therapists were given a
retrieve from having to use the bar-coding function.”
Ridiculum (One of our favorites; should be added to Webster’s as a collection of absurd data)
Rigmor (Rigmarole = confused or meaningless talk) Might have been confused with rigor mortis.
Supposably – an old favorite that doesn’t need any explanation.
Taunt (His abdomen was distended and “taunt” – confused with taut = stretched).
Therapeutical (Therapeutics = methods of treatment)
Unexpectively (Unexpectedly = coming as a surprise) – this has an element of respective speculation.
We thank all of our friends and family for creating these words and phrases! Keep them coming!
How do you submit a word "in private", i.e. as a competition entry? If I post my best words here won't someone just pinch them?
Hi Alison – all submissions do not automatically post; they are reviewed prior to being put on the site. The review is described in the information at the top of the page, but in general, we try to make sure the word is not offensive – so religions, graphic sexual content and politics are usually screened out since we don’t want to be the arbiters on any of this. Our guideline is if a 10-year old would understand and their grandparent would not be offended. If your word is posted it will be with your name. The contest is just for fun and runs once a year in January. We post about once every week or so as this is a hobby. The Editor.
