I'll think of another later.

Re: Words that aren't words that should be

2 ones from my life:

Wooty - First used by Rombus in 2004, Wooty is the act of being completely Woot about something. Jo told Rick that they were SkiBoarding this Weekend, Rick responded "WOOTY!"

Pedest - The act that a Pedestrian dose. Also known as walking. Will was crossing a street when he was almost hit by a car. He called out "HEY! Im Pedesting here!"

Re: Words that aren't words that should be

I think combobulate and gruntled both ought to be words, as discombobulate and disgruntled both are. And perhaps undiscombobulate (to fix something that is discombobulated) and recombobulate (something that is combobulated that becomes discombobulated should be able to be recombobulated) as well.

My friends and I had a fun late night conversation one night of build randomly adding on prefixes and suffixes to words. We came up with some interesting ones. antiundisprehyperrobotablefullness. Highly entertaining it was.

[EDIT] I forgot about nimsquit - a light hearted insult. And electronical ought to be a word as well. It just sounds nice.[/EDIT]

Automagically.

I've actually used it on a Lab report before.
"Excel then calculates the trend-line automagically".

Prof never noticed.
