NEW WORDS Make them up!

[Rednosty]

Heard an Item on the news today where New words are being used that are not in the dictionaries.

I liked this one Testiculate (To jest with your hands and talk Bull!)

There we're obvious ones like the remote control......Buttons!

So I thought it would be fun to make some up!

Hi red , this is something that has happened for years...new words...and it takes a few years to get into the dictionary....
a lot of the words depend on where you live and what kind of population there is....one word used today was mincing....their description was totally different from what is meant up here....( very derogatory ).....Papa.

Hi. I read an article in one of the supplements, I think, several weeks ago precisely about new words and expressions.

One of the funniest was 'arse antlers' - that odd tattoo young women have at the base of the spine that shows up when they bend over!

Another was 'Tart Fuel' - the latest slang for alcopops.

Don't think I kept it so can't dig it out for the rest - very funny article, tho.
