Re: Words that aren't words that should be
 
lets see..........

Eleventy, eleventeen, hundredty, and thousandty just because they sound funny, and some words my friend made up, such as coolnessocity. Also, there is Antidisestablishmentarianism, which my seventh grade english teacher made us learn to spell............. He says it exists, but I don't beleive him. I guess it means the condition of being involved with an establishment.

Although it's true, this thread hurts my grammatically-correct English soul...

Badonkulous- Anything that is contorted well past its original spelling/meaning, so contorted that it is literally ridiculous. Used in reference to pop culture, or anything that is over-the-top.

ex: 'Word to your mother? What does that mean? Don't be badonkulous.'

w00tlesness! = coolness. =D

MEEP! = innocent, scared cry. (also called a battle cry...hm)
^I use this when I'm scared of someone or something. Hehe. Ask and I'll demonstrate.

I forgot a few...
 
sheveled – a state of being well organized, in control, or well groomed. (from disheveld)

gruntled – an individual’s state of happiness. (from disgruntled)

capitate – to keep or not loose one’s head. (from decapitate)

lusional – clear in thinking or well fixed in the agreed upon reality. (from delusional)

iterate – to tell. (from reiterate)

ept – able or with an ability. (from inept)

ranged - sane, normal, unaffected. (from deranged)

vincible – able to loose or vulnerable to defeat. (from invincible)

licious – of poor culinary quality. (from delicious)

Whelmed - able to cope, in intellectual control of the material or information at hand. (from overwhelmed)

Homeowork – the point where a student is completely caught up on all their homework, and is therefore mentally stable. (from homeostais and homework)

Let me iterate to you about a FIRST regional. It takes a very lusional team to excel. A team must have a very ept robot, ranged drive team, and sheveled pit crew. It is important to remain capitate. Before leaving, it is important for students to attain homeowork, to keep their parents gruntled. Although the food at competitions can be rather licious, it is important that everybody on the team eats. It is also imperative that the team remains whelmed, or else they may become vincible.
