My boss and his vocabulary *Good Read*

[Draco]

My friend and I have been secretly making a list of all the odd/incorrect words this man fabricates on his own. These are all things he has said in one of his inane rants about something (usually technology). The guy is a network engineer and he'll talk your ear off about ANYTHING whether he knows anything about it or not. NOW! Onto the list!

Btw, all the words have been checked against a dictionary. As you can see, many are just ridiculous. This man is supose to be educated!

Fabricated words:

Architected
Assininily
Consightness
Continguants
Contituants
Correctably
Curiosityable
Deceivious
Decelation
Equivocable
Facetable
Gurgitable
Half-ashedily - As in "half-assedly". Probably not a word either
Hinderous
Historicalness
Implementators
Inheritable
Inheritness
Irregard
Irregardless
Lexicronical
Mentalityables
Mootable
Naiveness
Necetary
Operationable
Overjump
Pacifically - This is him trying to say "Specifically".
Particularness
Pecuriable
Presentatable
Presentationable
Regardably
Regardment
Stalistic - I think he was trying to say "Stalinistic" here, as in Joseph Stalin
Technologable
Thirdiary - As in tertiary
Underlyingly
Ungodily
Unsparkably


Actual words, but used incorrectly:

Definitiveness
Hedge
Hedging

Outstanding research there! It reminded me of those sketches from "In Living Color" where Damon Wayans played Oswald Bates, the prisoner who would mangle every big word he tried to use. Found one example: "Uh...you see, when a man liposucks a woman's...how should I say? uh...mammogram, it is the titillating expression of lubrication between two secreting adults. You dig?"

"Irregardless" is a word.

"Henry wanted a snowmobile. Irregardless, he had no funds to buy one with."

Mentalityables

I like that one. Can I have it?

 

[StageLeft]

Haha good post. I gotta give him credit for taking words that mean something and adding to them. I've done it too. I use the word Ungodly (He used ungodily) all the time!

Although technically it may be I found out recently that it's never used properly and in fact should never be used if I recall correctly.

EDIT: Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.

That's a long list......either you guys are really bored at work, or this dude talks ALOT......or both

 

[kranky]

I once worked for a guy who used the word(?) "insoluvious" which apparently meant unimportant or irrelevant. We never could figure out what real word was mangled to come up with that.

My favorite on that list is "Gurgitable". What is that supposed to mean?

Both, but he talks "ungodly" amounts! harharharhar. He's a real ahole too. We'd both like to beat his head in with a bat.

I'll try and use it in a sentence. "That information was very gurgitable" I guess he was going for word to describe something easily digestable or understood? Hell, I don't know! The man is a 35 year old bald virgin. I guess we'll have to start compiling the assumed meanings to these words too. It's a good one though. I also like "Technologable". Just try pronouncing that one.
