Every year or so it seems Webster’s Dictionary is adding new words. Holy cow, new words! It’s almost amazing that it happens, but then I think to myself, “Hey I make up new words all the time!” I think being a creative mind that I am (of course this is my opinion), it is necessary to come up with my own words for things and situations. <\/p>\n
When I was younger I got the game Boggle<\/em>. Maybe my mom was telling me something; either my spelling stunk or I was the best speller in the world. Ok, my spelling stunk and it still does so Boggle<\/em> didn’t help much. But making my own words to win against my sister helped shape who I am. Well, a person who makes up words. But most of the time she’d say (and she’s smarter than me) “That’s not a word!” I’d argue for a bit then give in. Damn, I lost again! “Berkent, it sounds like a word.” <\/p>\n Recently Justin made fun of me. This was nothing new because I’m funny to him. But he was making fun of the words that I use. “Where did you get ‘doe head’?” I thought about it for a while and really couldn’t come up with a good answer. I use ‘doe head’ more than some curse words. Basically I use it in a loving way instead of calling you an a**hole. See ‘doe head’ is much nicer.<\/p>\n He was also making fun of some words that I use incorrectly. Automotive is an adjective, but I use it like a verb. When he comes in from working on his car, he smells. “Man you smell like automotive.” He just laughs at me then asks, “What does ‘automotive’ smell like?” “you,” I reply. Duh! He also smells like boy sometimes. I can’t explain that one either, sorry.<\/p>\n I’ve got a nickname for basically everything too. Like Scully, I was calling her ‘sister’ ever since I got her. And now Justin does. Justin calls everything a “johnny.” “Where’s that johnny?” It could mean anything. I’ve given Justin a nickname too. My sister and her husband know what it is. They laughed and made fun, so I can’t tell any of you now. Everyone say “Thanks” to Heather and Joe (she’s my smart sister, well my only sister).<\/p>\n And until I was all hip with the computer (thanks Justin!) I called mp3’s, mp’s. I left the three off. I can’t remember why but it stuck. And now he calls them that. So imagine, I have the same power that Webster’s Dictionary has. I’ve created my own words and now my husband uses them too. And I’m pretty sure that ‘berkent’ is a German or a Canadian word. Now where’s that Boggle<\/em> game?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every year or so it seems Webster’s Dictionary is adding new words. Holy cow, new words!
