Invented Words

[on:]

Okay...This is the first topic i've ever posted so please be kind!

I have been watching the commentaries on futurama, and i have noted that several times they reference words they have invented for the show... I did a search and i couldn't find a thread on this topic so i was curious!

i wanted to know what everyone's favorite new word is, or what words have you incorporated into your everyday vocabulary?
I know i use "kajigger" from I roommate all the time...
weee!!...

Taste-icles, or Test-Cicles... mmmmm

[Reply #2 on:]

"Doih" has entered my regular vocabulary.

[Reply #3 on:]

ROBUT!!!

[Reply #4 on:]

Amy has a fair few phrases she's come up with, the cloolest of course already being mentioned in this sentence.

[Reply #5 on:]

Sabatage- Not Sabotage

According to some, that's the correct way to pronounce it.  That alternate pronunciation is "spelled" out (visualized) here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=robot&x=20&y=12  but they don't have that particular audible pronunciation.

I like the Amyisms (I find myself using them on occasion out of habit), and of course Hattie's words, like "kajigger". (sp?)

As Zoidberg said, there are alot of those slang words Amy uses like Smeash and Abraka-duh.

Technically, that's Star Trek.   

I love it when they add "Space" to the front of something... Space Pope, Space Pirates, Space Potatoes... (Or were those hover potatoes?) Maybe not really a made up word, but still gets a chuckle out of me.

I just started saying the word 'nastification'  Sounds like an Amy-ism but I can't remember.  Can someone confirm/deny this?  It's driving me nuts cause I don't know where I've heard it. (Or maybe I've just watched to much Futurama and have started making up my own Amy-isms )
Back on topic, I love any of Amy's sayings, "Smeesh", "Splugh" etc..

That would be the Why of Fry!   

Nibblonian 1: "It's a genetic abnormality which resulted when you went back in time and performed certain actions which made you your own grandfather."
Fry: "I did do the nasty in the pasty!"
Nibblonian 2: "Verily. And that past nastification is what shields you from the brains. You are the last hope of the universe."
Fry: "So, I really am important? How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?"
Nibblonian 1: "Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock."

"Gumbercules?  I love that guy!"

[Reply #13 on:]

Clool of course!...

[Reply #14 on:]

I don't think the writers of Futurama made up "kajigger."  As for "robut," I recall seeing a Twilight Zone episode where everybody pronounced it that way.

[Reply #15 on:]

"Manocentric manocracy."  It's funny when I use it, because I'm a white straight male from the United States.  Yet I'm still being oppressed!

[Reply #16 on:]

Anything Amy says like zidiot,robut said by Zoidberg and dammit (a word I find myself using a lot more each day,but then agan who doesn't?    ) said by the Professor in most episodes.

[Reply #17 on:]

not to mention the professor's inventions? Like the finglonger! the smelloscope, the gizmometer...and my personal favourite... the memoray!

[Reply #18 on:]

Buggalo.

And on the subject of the pronuciation of robot.
Check out any old episode of Lost in Space.
Professor Robinson always says ro-but
while Major West always says ro-bot.
We've been making fun and pointing out the two versions for years. Even before Futurama.

The Crushinator.

You forgot about the Space Cows and the grave robbing Space Mushrooms.

And 'nerdlinger' is also some kind of new word.

[Reply #21 on:]

Destructor. Nobody could have thought of THAT bad a name before Futurama.

[Reply #22 on:]

I like the sound of Zoidberg's degrees in Murderonomy and Murderology...

[Reply #23 on:]

Some of the Proffesers exclamations are pretty good as well, such as "Poodelspit" or just some of his word combinations such as "Bull Pies"!
Funny funny stuff.   

[Reply #24 on:]

Nerdlinger was a character in a movie Homer watched in the Simpsons episode "Homer Goes to College."  I'm not sure if it predates that.

He reminds a bit of Sherman T. Potter from M*A*S*H when he says stuff like that 

[Reply #26 on:]

i remember beck made up some words

[Reply #27 on:]

Those were real words!  Just check the Becktionary!

[Reply #28 on:]

Oodlay was one. I think that's an old word for goodbye.

[Reply #29 on:]

Does "aroo?" count as a made up word?  I know presidents make up new words all the time:

"Normalcy," Warren G. Harding
"Is, definition 2," William Jefferson Clinton
"Strategical," George Walker Bush
"Aroo," Richard Milhous Nixon's Head

[Reply #30 on:]

how could you people forget Funderful or Gollyrific.

Oh and orphanarium

[Reply #31 on:]

i always thought orphanarium was a word

[Reply #32 on:]

Its like ‘aquarium’ but instead orphans swim around

[Reply #33 on:]

I love the Amy-isms, especially "Spleezeball".

Orale' is a Spanish slang term that's used as a toast or greeting (not sure what the exact translation is).  Beck grew up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood, and heard it a lot.  It was misspelled on his album as "Odelay".
