The development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people.

For some time now I've been known for new worderisering; it's when I make up words, mostly nonsensical, and deploy them in normal everyday conversations. I've made up some good ones over the years because...well, because I find it amusing. Don't worry, I'm not going to bore you with a list of them, but I'll share one as an example. Are you ready? original im src
- Leshit - This means the opposite of legit which is a shortened version of the word legitimate. I use legit a lot but needed a word to use when something is the antithesis of legit so...Leshit. It means: Bad, terrible, that's a shame or pity or can be used as an insult. You're leshit, to give an example.
OK...One more.
- Somebodyelsie - You know a selfie is a picture one takes of themselves, right? Well, a somebodyelsie is a picture that someone takes of someone else. Trust me, this makes perfect sense to me.
OK...One more.
- Premature calljaculation - You know what a premature ejaculation is right? Come on folks, don't make me explain it. (Google it). Well, premature calljaculation is when you're calling someone on the phone but it's actually too early to do so and they're not available. Like, "I'll call you after work", but then the call comes in before 5pm when I'm not finished work. That's a premature calljaculation. Sure, it's less messy and disappointing than the other, but sometimes equally embarrassing.
I'll be honest, these words haven't caught on yet, but I'm ok with that; I didn't make them up for others, they're mine, and I don't need the accolades as I'm comfortable with who I am as a person. I'll concede however, that it would be super cool to have one of the words I make up catch on but, alas, I'm not sure it'll happen.
Anyway, I made up another word a couple days ago and I thought now was as good a time as any for it to make its debut to the world. But first some background.
You see, I was talking with someone who had said something so legit and awesome I kind of got excited about it. Obviously it was a moment when I wanted to show that excitement by way of an exclamation however, because I'm a nutbag, I came out with two words at the same time.
Have you ever done that? Yeah, it's sort of embarrassing, not like premature ejaculation embarrassing, but close. The result was a pretty cool word though and that the person thought it was legit made it even cooler. So...this new word was born.
The words I actually wanted to say were exactly and fuck - Something like, "that's fucken exactly right! It was total fuckuperisation though; fate played its hand and I was left with a new word to add to my repertoire.
Fuckzactly
This word is a multi-purpose word equally appropriate for an exclamation of joy, excitement, or hearty-agreement. It is also serviceable in moments when one trying to make a firm point about a thing.
I'll use it in a sentence:
"These documents need to be fuckzactly the same as the last ones." See how it emphasises the point perfectly leaving no doubt as to the need for precision and accuracy?
I'll use it again: (Imagine this in the boardroom at your company, a meeting with the Directors or important client maybe.)
"I know fuckzactly what you mean, the importance of rolling out this new marketing strategy is paramount. We must get it fuckzactly right or we'll miss the opportunity." Again, the use of my new word clearly signals to all stakeholders the vital importance upon the marketing strategy being deployed effectively and strategically.
Now it's your turn
That's my new word and yes, you're welcome to use it, but I'd like to hear your words.
Have you made up any that you think I'd be interested in? If you haven't you might just like to make one up I guess, just for fun.
I'd like to see them below in the comments and I'll be gifting 2 Hive to a few here and there; I'm not sure how many. I mean, I might not get any comments at all in which case I'll keep my hive, but should something catch my eye there'll be a vote and a gift for it.
Now is the part where you drop your new made-up word below, but make sure your get it fuckzactly right - don't just write the word - explain what it means and how it came about also.
