gnomi: (dictionary_moo)
[personal profile] gnomi
Because [personal profile] ayoub made me think about it, and because I've always had a not-so-secret desire to be a lexicographer, I pose the following question:

If there were to be a dictionary of [personal profile] gnomi-isms, what words would it contain?

Off the top of my head, I can think of:

-- Splorp (that which inspired this line of thought)
-- Narf
-- Thingy
-- Obnox
-- Enpenguinate

Additional [personal profile] gnomi-isms:
-- Horfles (suggested by [personal profile] mabfan)
-- Procrastisurfing (suggested by [personal profile] tsuki_no_bara)
-- Snackquisition (suggested by [profile] beths_stanley)
-- Pornucopia (suggested by [profile] beths_stanley)

But then I get stuck. I know there are many words in my idiolect that are specifically [personal profile] gnomi-isms, but I have no idea what they are. So I bring it to you. What should go in the Dictionary of [personal profile] gnomi-isms?

It reminds me of exsanguinate, a delightful-on-the-tongue but less felicitous verb.

Yup. That formed part of the inspiration for my definition. Funny that blood transfusions don't appear to be considered re-sanguination.
