Consiering how often pshrinks invent new words, that's pretty funny.

That one is like fingernails on a blackboard (remember those?) to me!

I can't help it, I lose a great deal of respect for someone who uses that one... especially when they use it a lot. That happened quite a bit in my old office, there were three or four who LOVED that word.

I feel that way about people saying "anywayS." There are many co-workers and educators and higher-ups who simply should know better.

Solecisms are bad; it's that simple.

Something the pointyheaded Bush Bashers don't mention is that roughly a third of Congress, House and Senate, say "nucular." "Misunderestimated," however, is probably in the national lexicon to stay for at least a decade and maybe permanently: it concisely nails a certain kind of error, and does it while being amusingly, rather than gratingly, country.

Learned coinings aren't so bad: the anywaysers and the irregardless-gushers suffer from being hemipygian. While I'm trying to promote the word, I'm not so enthusiastic about any related words such as a noun like hemipygine, meaning a hemipygian person. It's too ambiguously spelt.

Axing a question fills me with an urge to gesture.

The US military spokesmen's inability to pronounce "cache" correctly makes me sigh. Were there NO military men in Iraq and Afghanistan who hailed from places with French placenames like Cache la Poudre, near Fort Collins, Colorado? It rhymes with "cash," guys.

I like you wolf. You are one of my favorite posters. I just tell it like it is but I have to remember to guard my thyroid so I'll be nice about it. Sorry if I am harsh.

I would suggest a visit with your local mental health practitioner, as your sense of humor appears to be broken. It may need resetting.

I am not a shrink. I am a Mental Health Commitment Officer.

I actually don't like or have much respect for the majority of shrinks, therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and licensed social workers. I know from direct experience that about 80% of them are gaping idiots who couldn't gain entry into any other major.

I think you can say the same for just about any field.

Some would regard witchcraft and other ritualistic behavior mental as well.

I am such a 'tard' oh man there is that symptomatic behavior again.

List of neologisms on The Simpsons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
The Simpsons, an animated television series, has used and coined many neologisms for humorous effect. The most famous example is Homer Simpson's signature annoyed grunt, "D'oh!" which has been listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, in addition to smaller references such as OUP's single-volume Oxford Dictionary of English (second edition).
Few of the following would qualify as neologisms from a strict lexicological perspective due to their extremely limited use outside of the show. For those that have found their way into regular use, the route passes through the considerable fan-base where use of these words carries the prestige of pop-culture literacy among those who catch the references, just as among other cultural groups a clever parallel to a well-known phrase from the literary or rhetorical canon would be acknowledged.
The following is presented more as a glossary of words or phrases invented by the show which one or more characters use in regular speech, as though intended as real terms. This does not include names of invented characters, locations, or products.



oh and let us not forget internet message boards with our little lingos, the inner city getto speak ect.
[edit- there poof all gone cap'n]
