Good Words
Brought to you by idle minds.
Yesterday, I carried on a bit about annoying made-up words. Today, in the interest of equal time, I give you a list of made-up words I like.
- Confidiocy: confederacy of idiots. This term was accidentally coined by a friend of mine who flubbed a reference to Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy O'Toole.
- Elewobble: the unsettled sensation of still being on an elevator even after you’ve disembarked; see also wimbly.
- Excessful: excessively successful; conspicuously consumptive.
- Fattitude: either a big fat attitude or an attitude about being fat.
- Fiberglasted: flabbergasted by something made of fiberglass.
- Florble: to flap and wobble, as fat tissue in motion; to shake like a bowl full of jelly.
- Prostidude: a male prostitute. Dude!
- Velosophy: velocity + philosophy: thinking faster than you can speak.
- Wimbly: a melding of weak, dizzy, and trembly; see also elewobble.
Got more? Please share.

Great list. Very imaginative. I think a lot of people are guilty of velosophy. Cool site.
Thanks for stopping by.
Love the words. I collect funky words, too.
Love a capella. Love Rockapella.
And you've been on my blogroll for a long, long time!
