View Full Version : Invented words and phrases you came up with
Brian 08-20-2005, 02:48 AM Have you ever had an invented word or phrase? I know of one that I haven't heard anywhere else. It applies to sports.
I came up with the term "The Ed Whitson Syndrome." It describes a player who is hated by the fans of the team he plays for. The name comes from a former Major League Baseball pitcher named Ed Whitson. He played for the Padres before signing a free-agent deal with the New York Yankees before the 1985 season. He became unpopular among the Yankee fans and it got to the point where Lou Pinella, the manager of the team at the time, chose not to pitch him at Yankee Stadium because he was hated so much. He was traded back to the Padres the next year.

Dutabi84 08-20-2005, 02:59 AM I came up with the "combo mambo," which was a real silly thing you had to sing while playing pool, when making a shot off of more than one ball.

Sharop 08-20-2005, 06:47 AM I guess this could count as a phrase...I made it up a few months ago.
"You need a little madness to keep you from insanity."
Looking at it, it sounds rather like an oxymoron, but it makes sense to me.
Superstar 08-20-2005, 08:06 AM I used to use the word fruitalicious alot.
I claim the creation of the word "divalicious."
TripperFan 08-20-2005, 12:51 PM I came up with a saying, "Sit back, Jack" or "Sit back, Wino" in the late 70s and noticed it caught on in the whole neighbourhood.
Same with referring to someone stupid as a "Lou Johnston" - don't know anybody by this name, never have and apologize if anyone knows anyone by that name, but it was used for people that pulled really lame or stupid stunts.

Karen* 08-20-2005, 03:00 PM I use the word "dorkwad" to describe super-dorky people. Like myself. :p
PZelda 08-20-2005, 03:11 PM I came up with "Cheers behind the couch" back in 2003. :lol: I would chat with the regulars (Kate [Susan Norton], Sonny [DallasCowboyFanatic], Tara [Living In a '70's Dream] and a few others who don't come here anymore) in our late-night threads back in 2003 and sometimes if one of them didn't reply for a few minutes, one of us would ask where that person was and they would reply with "they're probably behind the couch" -- and I really have no idea how or why I started saying that, but I did. :lol:

*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-20-2005, 03:19 PM I invented fartknocker when I was 9. It means along the lines of "idiot" and "moron." I heard it used on a comercial or something not too long ago, but I still refuse to believe that that word existed before I said it. Dammit.
Mikado 08-20-2005, 06:05 PM "You smell like a 20 foot armpit" :D im so mean sometimes
Janice 08-20-2005, 06:53 PM I say Nuckin Futs sometimes, but I think I saw it somewhere else. Honestly not sure.
If I have to get up real early, I say that I have to get up at the crack of ass.
If food is too hot to eat, I call it Addams Family hot.
When Amtrack was having all those crashes years ago, I called them Amwreck.

Nighthawk76 08-21-2005, 12:55 AM :lol: I didn't exactly make it up since it is a lyric in the Van Halen song "Pondcake" but in high school if I ever saw a girl with a nice butt I would always say, "I love my baby's poundcake" and before long all my male friends were saying it too. :lol: Thinking about it now, I am really embarresed to say the least. :lol:
