phra·s·a·lo·gis·tics


The way in which words and phrases are combined to have a new meaning.

The New Years Eve post.

Well, I don’t have any new words for you. Well, actually I do, but I haven’t gotten around to adding them. I should have some time to add a few this weekend. I also plan on revising my word addition/submission methods so it takes me so little time I have no excuse but to add the words. However I did find a few gems for those of you like myself who respect languages for being both alive, and for being something to adhere to rather than shit on.

Ten Words You Need To Stop Misspelling

I have also been able to verify personally the iPhone friendly version of the site works, so that’s good. Anyway, I will be back soon with more.

  • It’s October, and I sometimes update.

    Okay, I finally got enough random suggestions for words from friends to be able to update the site. I know I should update the site every 15 fucking nano-seconds in today’s Web 2.0 bullshit, but this shit takes time. This is my “It’s kind of close to Halloween, so here are some words that may be related to that day or not.”

    Enjoy!


    fang·er, co·bra·chuck, bro·tein, Hel·low·een, skele·bration, bay·plo·sion

    I have some videos and pics for a few of these, so that will likely follow soon.

    Update — Once again, YouTube can suck it. I am going to look for another way to share videos easily.

    Another update — YouTube can really suck it now. I added an embedded flash plugin for YouTube and moved my links. I will clean up later, but all the links are local now.

  • I hate making up titles to posts.

    Okay, here are some more words for you:

    Ko·re·o·graph, raw·ber·ry, whore·derve

    One of them is technically a word I added Monday, but in my fury over YouTube copyright bullshit I forgot to include it. I really do need to add more sections to the site so I can talk about something else, or otherwise provide entertainment for people. I will look into that now.

  • Rocket Edition

    Here is more words for you folks:


    broke·fast, shock·late, po·lice·naut, men·er·gy, ma·nan·a, shock·late

    I tried to add the powerthirst videos, but YouTube can suck on my cock. They decided to flip out about copyright issues. I started my own YouTube channel so the freely available videos could be commented and tagged properly for my site, and now I can’t do that. I link to the original content, but apparently that’s not good enough. I didn’t make those Dunkin Donut commercials either, but I guess they don’t care.

    Fuck YouTube.

    Edit — Also, fuck Twitter.

  • That’s not weird at all.

    Here’s your steaming pile of words. My coworker just suggested another one, as I am typing this, but he’s just going to have to wait until I update again.


    bling·i·tude, rock·stare, hap·pil·low, lar·ki·tec·ture, skul·let, pop·sti·cal

    Oh, and I fixed the mantage video link, apparently I had a moment wherein my brain failed to interpret completely proprietary tags in WordPress. Shame on me.

    Smile

    Update: I just added a video for rockstare, enjoy.

  • Grap on my tired.

    No new words today, but I was just handed this little gem of a link:

    Look Like If The Words Are Bleeding.

    I don’t really have the words to describe how sad and disheartening this is. I mean, we’re talking about collegiate level essays here, and they appear to be written by fourth graders. When I see articles like this, it really makes me feels like the world is taking a turn for the worse when we resort to short-handing our thoughts with things like Twitter, Facebook, and so on.

  • No I can’t afford slave children.

    I added some more words for you folks:

    crapp, se·cur·o·sis, u·rine·vit·ed, man·tage

    I fixed a few alphabetical sorting issues as well. The site, even though completely re-designed still takes me an hour or so to add a few words. I am going to look at improving word creation time, since it’s a lot of work for one person.

    The topic is kind of relevant to this post, that’s a first..

    Update — The video for Mantage is not working, because YouTube sucks.. or the MP4 sucks. Either way, I removed the link for now. I will deal with it later.

    More words for you folks.

    Enjoy!

  • We require more Vespene gas.

    All right, time to unleash my horde of new words:


    cunt·a·dac·tyl, fur·re·al, Mex·i·troop·er, nerd·gasm, spoon·i·corn, whore·a·cle

    Tons eh? I am going to spend some time cleaning up the current words, since I spotted a few bugs here and there. The site sort of needs actual visitors to justify any new features, but I will probably get bored and add them anyways.

  • Building up my hoard.

    I’ve been holding on to some good words for an update, mostly because it still takes more than 10 seconds to add them into the dictionary, and also because I have been slaving away on re-writing an image gallery script for personal use. Don’t lose faith, just submit words instead. Razz
