Thoughter |thot?-?r| |?ôt| noun, a person that expresses thoughts freely.

LOL

This is in pre-GWB usage still.

Example
EDD is a post modern THOUGHTER.
BRAVUS is an Educator THOUGHTER.

Beliver (bee-LIV-er), a person who lives what s/he professes to believe.

I found this word when I accidently spelled believe as belive. (can't spel wirth a hoot latly)

example: "Beliving is when a believer lives his beliefs. Jesus practiced belivity to the ultimate."

"Belive", I discovered upon checking a dictionay is an old word used by that early English poet, Chaucer,
meaning soon, quickly, immediately.
My using it above as a verb resulted in a paleologism
(see: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paleologism )

What happened is I gave an ancient word a new meaning that it did not originally have.

As the on-location newscasters say, 'Stan? back to you.' :)

Here is a new word I hope we don't get too familiar with.

VBIED (VEE-bid) acronym.

A car or other vehicle rigged to act as a bomb. (From vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.)


Example Citations:
Across the river in the predominantly Sunni district along Haifa Street, Col. Bryan Roberts, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division's 2nd Brigade, said an increase in vehicle bombs had led him to introduce a plan to barricade five markets in the district. "My biggest concerns security-wise are the current attack methods, the VBIEDs, suicide vests," he said. ...

The government should take measures "at the national level to help the poor guy in the end zone who's trying to stop VBIEDs," Bannister said.
—Ann Scott Tyson, "The Two Sides of Baghdad Barriers," The Washington Post, April 30, 2007



By late morning, as the temperature soared above 100 degrees, members of the Army's 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, paused in a small, stuffy house. An airstrike had been called in to destroy a suspected car bomb in their path. The home's residents waited anxiously under U.S. guard.

A thunderous explosion rocked the house.

"That was the VBIED," said Spc. Chris Martin, 23, using the military abbreviation for a car bomb.
—Alexandra Zavis, "New offensive against insurgents," Los Angeles Times, June 20, 2007



Earliest Citation:
Regardless of what form the attack takes, be it a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) detonated in a suicide attack or a direct assault against a "soft" target carried out by a small team armed with automatic weapons and hand grenades, there will be some attack-related activity in and around the target prior to the actual launching of the attack. ... An analysis of the 1998 attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania shows that the weapon of choice was a VBIED.

gorno noun

Movies that contains scenes of extreme horror or violence.

[Blend of gore and porno.]


Example Citations:

"And it made me ponder: Has extreme horror gotten, well, too extreme? Will the prevalence and popularity of torture porn — a.k.a. gorno — warp our views on mayhem and murder, inure us, seep into our consciousness in creepy, vestigial ways? Is this stuff — the S & M gear, the leather and vinyl butcher couture, the power tools — being glamorized, fetishized? (Heck, yes!)
—Steven Rea, "When gory movies are torture to watch," Philadelphia Inquirer, June 12, 2007


"Even 'gorno' — the torture-porn-horror flicks that power the "Saw" and "Hostel" franchises — has moved from merely alienating those consumers who hate the marketing to snuffing out its target audience. The reason? Gore burnout. Case in point: "Hostel: Part II," which opened Friday. It is already showing signs that it will make significantly less than the $19 million than its predecessor nabbed last year in its opening weekend."
—Rachel Abramowitz and Sheigh Crabtree, "Hollywood horror films suffer box office anemia," Los Angeles Times, June 9, 2007


Earliest Citation:

"The two essential horror movie drawcards — sex and violence — are here in spades and it's this slick schlock director's understanding of what really shocks that gives Hostel bite. A mostly unknown cast brings the goods, it's effectively repugnant and, like the conditions of hostels themselves, this debaucherously brutal 'gorno' is likely to give you nightmares.
—Craig Miller, "DVD releases," Sunday Tasmanian, June 25, 2006

carbage noun

The garbage that accumulates in some cars, particularly in the back seat.

[Blend of car and garbage.]


Example Citations:
'We'd already lost control of our limbs and fallen under that peculiar trance cast by songs that are so excruciating that one cannot resist listening all the way to the end — just to hate them as much as possible.

"Hmmm," we said. "There should be a word for that."

'What we needed, we thought, was a hybrid like "idolspise," one of our favorite invented words. It refers to simultaneously feeling admiration and loathing toward a person — usually someone who has and does everything you would have and do if you were more motivated.

'And then there's "carbage," coined by one of us to refer to the empty Pepsi cans and used Kleenex that collect in the foot wells of the back seat.'
—Karen Sandstrom, Help us expand our vocabulary," Plain Dealer, July 1, 2007



"CARBAGE: Rubbish in an Astra (photo caption)."
—"Vauxhall ashtray," The Mirror, May 29, 2007

here is a dumb word i just made up:

combine the words whistle and hiss by knocking off the 'w' and adding another 's' to get

hisstle

sounds like 'hiss-uhl'

it means to make musical sounds by hissing or pushing air through the mouth without acutally producing a whistling sound.

I'd sure like to see some of your made-up words. Please?? Huh?? :-)

Along the same lines there is whumming - a combination of whistling and humming done at the same time...

wistwatchers - the untalented who wish they could play sports

thanks guys!

Whumming is much more musical than plain whistling. Do you remember by chance the 'throat-singing' of Northern Mongolia? (not sure of the location) and how Richard Feynmann, the physicist, want to make a trip there to hear them?

I'm one of the 'wistwatchers' - too old and out of shape :-\
