Word Up!

Some of you may not know this, but I have my very own dictionary. It’s true, check it out. Over there on the right under “My Words”. Come back when you are done. What do you think? Pretty cool, huh? It’s kind of a cross between dictionary and encyclopedia since it does carry definitions of my family members and some of my friends and their relationship to me. It started, though, because of me just making up words to fit my needs. I think I am really important and I think everyone else should think so, too, so I made my own dictionary. Maybe some day it will be as popular as Merriam-Webster.

Anyway, the following are words that I am thinking of adding to my dictionary. I have either used them or heard them or read them over the last several weeks. Don’t worry, I am not taking credit for them if I didn’t make them up. I am all about giving credit where credit is due.

Firecy: This one just came to me. I was talking to my Mom and she asked me if I could look at her chart at work and tell her the results of a test. I said, “No, we aren’t allowed to do that. It’s immediate firecy.” What the fuck? It just spilled out of my mouth. Like it was a normal word. It might be now.

Homemakery: I can’t really remember how this came about, but it had something to do with Martha Stewart and her being the queen of homemakery. This one was in my cute little head, too.

Sure-Shing: Say it as if it is one word. Say it out loud. What does it sound like? Isabelle asked me what this meant. When I couldn’t fathom what it meant, she said, “I think it means when you are looking for something.” SEARCHING! She meant searching.

Uh-right: This is absolutely the most redneck thing that I have ever heard one of my relatives say. This is supposed to be alright, but it sounds like uhright. When it’s said as a question, it is even more hilarious. Isabelle says it all. The. Time. I got a video post of her for tomorrow and in it I tried to get her to say it, but it still doesn’t sound exactly the way she usually says it. The funniest thing about this is that I kept wondering where on earth she could have picked this up, until the first time I asked her, “Alright?” Yeah. It’s me.

Shmorcasting: He did it! He finally made a word that I could actually publish on this blog. Shmorcasting. I am not sure what the hell it means, but I had to put it here.

Firstively: It’s obvious what this one means. Well, it is to me. The lady who says it all the time is my co-Minnesotan and, I swear, she is exactly like me, Suzi. Suzi has a blog called I’ll Tell You What It Shwas. She is very funny. Did I mention that she says firstively?

Freka: This one was started as a typo in the chatroom of Fab’s radio show one night. It was supposed to be freak, but we all liked freka better and vowed to use it often. Now we add all sorts of other words to it, like mutha (mutha freka) and get my (freka) on, etc. I should really keep copies of the chatroom dialog because we come up with some funny shit in there. Well, mostly everyone else does. I just laugh. This one can be attributed to Vulgar Wizard. The entertainment in the chatroom. It’s her birthday today, too. Go over and wish her happy. Please.

Sheddy: This is one of my favorites. I hear this a lot. I heard it a lot when I was doing daycare. It melts my heart. The other night I heard it while I was taking care of a friend’s child. Sheddy is often the way that kids say my name when they are first learning to talk. Before they can pronounce the sh part, it’s usually Ah-ee. This weekend it was, “Sheddy, comin’?” or “Sheddy, c’mon!” Oooh, I just wanted to eat him up.

Do you have any words that Merriam-Webster won’t include in their dictionary? Maybe I will include them in mine.
