Invented words and phrases you came up with - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

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.

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.

I used to use the word fruitalicious alot.

JT · 08-20-2005, 10:32 AM

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.

My friend Sarah and I came up with "'n' stuff 'n' stuff" and "creampuff" to discribe a person.

Karen* · 08-20-2005, 03:00 PM

I use the word "dorkwad" to describe super-dorky people. Like myself.

PZelda · 08-20-2005, 03:11 PM

I came up with "Cheers behind the couch" back in 2003.

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.

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.
