Pandora's Box of Words!



Non-nonsensical but sensible words will rule the future [read Oxford Dictionary]:
The trend of adding new and popular words that Oxford Dictionary is following motivated me to start a trend. But yeah,my words won't get added unless the mass uses these words (invented by me):
To start with, a few words that came to mind are:

1. Zodiomorphing: Morphing of Zodiac signs. Panditjis' say, "Aapka ghar mei abhi shani ka prakop h..samay ke saath kathinayi badhti jayegi..etc.". So now you know what to name this unusual but believable phenomenon as.

2. Sleepeadstrongerpsichorean: A professional dancer-like person who is an angry young man and loves to sleep. It's a weird combo, though I have met some of this kind.

3. Catamountotiosenonplussed: A person who is lazy and confused and at the same time a fab artist. These three elements altogether suit each other because they are independent of each other. A painter of this kind can wake up from his hibernation mode and create another Monalisa.
[P.S. I fall into this category.]

4. Pesscychistrazy: Ahh! These are the whimsically eccentric people—a complete nutcase. They are pessimists and, at the same time, psycho enough to drive you crazy so that their community grows more. (Not to be taken in a literal sense.)

Did you not find the list innovative? I am yet to come up with a few more words.

~ The beauty of the English language is that you can mould it in any way, and with time, if it becomes popular, you will find it in the Oxford dictionary! ~ Just like the word "Googling".Do you think this word existed earlier?? No! It was added to the Oxford English Dictionary on June 15, 2006.
The list does not stop here. Take a dose of a few more such words.
Take a look!

Lol: Laugh out loud (the commonest of all).
#BFF
#OMG
#Ridic
#Thx
#Dumbphone: Opposite of smartphone.
#Mwahahaha: used to represent laughter, especially triumphal or cackling laughter such as that uttered by a villainous character in a cartoon or comic strip.
#Tweeps: a person’s followers on the social networking site Twitter
#Ego-surfing: searching the Internet for instances of one's own name or links to one's own website.
#Lookism: Discrimination on the grounds of appearance or looks.
Cyberslacking : using one's employer's Internet and email facilities for personal activities during working hours.
#Threequel: The third film, book, event, etc. in a series; a second sequel.
#Grrrl: A young woman regarded as independent, strong, or aggressive, especially in her attitude towards men or in her sexuality.
Blamestorming is a method of collectively finding one to blame for a mistake no one is willing to confess to. It often occurs in the form of a meeting of colleagues at work, gathered to decide who is to blame for a screwup.

I'll end the list here! Phew! But there are a lot more..


With time, technology is rapidly changing, and so is literature. But as long as the essence of a language remains, there is no harm in adding new stylish, trendy, and popular words. In fact, there is a forum where the Oxford Dictionary allows you to pen down your innovative words. And if they think your words are justifiable enough to add to the dictionary, you will soon be tagged as an inventor of words. So folks,from now on, we can say that scientists are not only people who take up science as their main subject and eventually dig their brains into the core research work. Perhaps we can call a Scientist in the field of Literature as a - Lituraturist! :)
