    My big bugbear is "totes".

    I mean, come on! It takes about 6.7 nanseconds to say the full word: "totally"

    I have about 1000 unusual euphemisms for sex and genitalia.

    'Getting squelchy' was very popular with an MFP friend.
    'Pantsless Leapfrog' also goes down well.

    I've used "underwhelmed" for years; think my Dad started it. "Dorkus" = dork +doofus.


    Oh, and "wonderbar" is from "wunderbar" , the German word for wonderful; also "schmutz" is German for dirt. Guess they ARE real words - just not in English!!

    As a former competitive Scrabble player...(don't laugh...seriously)...I feel compelled to point out that some of these portmanteaus are actually valid words now. For example, "fantabulous" is good; "terribad", at least so far, is not.

    I think "ginormous" and "humongous" count as valid words now too, or at least should. Both have been in common usage at least since the 1960s. I remember "groovy" from that era too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvlW4bEjB5A

    A rarely heard one that's been around for several decades is "mismeander" = misdemeanor + meander. It's what can happen when you stray from the straight and narrow.
