Coining new words

[Since1982]

Its the phrase I prefer

No one said you couldn't use it, no one said it wasn't a GRRRRREAT phrase either, it's just as Uncle AL said, it's not a new word, Fashion Freestyler is definitely a Ziggyfied phrase tho.

[Sarongman]

Okay, how about, from the floatingmetal thread, Oztracized for Aussie horses?-or, isn't that pfunny enough

[Since1982]

no, you misspelled it...hehehe "Austracized" for Aussie horses. "Frenchified" for French horses, or French hors....oops.
"Drownedicized" for Waimaia Bay horses. Most humans can't survive swimming in Winter surf at Waimaia Bay Hawaii much less horses.

"Pelecized" for anyone that happens to fall in Mount Pele while skirting on the slopes, also could be called crematized, depending on what exactly they fell into.
"Fijisulufied" for any pale skinned sulu wearing tourist in the Fiji Islands.

For the Web 2.0 Hive Mind... skirtr

[Sarongman]

No Skip, Austracized would be Austrian horses- Dey unnderstanden der Deutch Yah!!

[Raakone]

Ok, here's one for you....
"Lurong"....a relative of the sarong that's worn in, say, Burma. Huh? No, it ain't the local term at all. The "rong" part is from sarong. The "Lu" is from LU, or London Underground...otherwise known as the TUBE! It's because it's a kind of TUBE sarong (a sewn tube, you step into rather than merely wrapping around).

And..."Flashmare"...nightmare had by both those knew to skirts or those who are skeptical of them....that they'll end up showing their undergarments or worse, causes some people to crings when they see a skirt.

[Since1982]

Nooooooo, I still disagree on Australian horses, and think Australlicized would be right for them. Now Austrian horses would be Austriacized...either one though if a "gelding" would be Austrasnipped for Austrian and/or Australlisnipped for Australian horses. Of course a human that hung around too many horses of any kind might become "Horsified" which would be evidenced by protruding teeth and a morose, sad look from wearing a bridle too long.

How about Skirtopia.

The place where everyone regardless of age or sex can where any style of skirt, dress, shorts or pants without any fear of aspersion.

[Uncle Al]

As a start------

A Skirtonian is a person who lives in Skirtopia.

Ok--We've two 'new' words, used in the above sentence/phrase.
Now if someone was 'Text messaging', then the Text word,
Skirtr would come in handy.

Of course we need to keep the 'Brownian theory of motion' out of
the equation. We really don't want to go there because, in the general public,
to many people suffer from 'optical-rectumitis'.
I'm not sure how this can be cured, but one must try

If we count the 'Text Messaging' word Skirtr, we have three new 'words'.

Is this really enough Come on now, put on your thinking caps

Please remember the new words must be usable to describe a man/woman who
wears skirts. We do not want someone, who is imitating the south bound side
of a north bound horse, to be able to belittle or denigrate us.

Who is up to the challenge

BOO HOO HOOOOOO Uncle Al doesn't think ANY of MY new words are good enough to be added to the "three"....OH BOO HOO BOO...

Ah yes; the old "cranial-rectal inversion". I suspect the only answer might lie in the "jaws of life" (a hydraulic tool used to extricate people from automobile crashes). But, I'd not rule out Brownian motion; how else can one explain some of the really bad driving styles that have evolved over the years?

Who is up to the challenge

Maybe it's the curmudgeon in me, but I fail to see the need for new words -- perfectly good ones exist; why not just use them?

[sapphire]

Absitively, positively, copacetic

(can I go barf now?)

It's definitely the curmudgeon in you, if we can't make up new words how are we ever going to make Scrabble more fun? Like this new word that would work great in Scrabble. "Ouyyyyyyy" Def. The sound made when a person sits down hard on a fist sized rock right at the end of the tailbone. "Ouyyyyyyyer" would be a person that hollers "Ouyyyyyyy". I really like this English print.

[Skirt Chaser]

A Skirtonian is either male or female, and prefers skirted garments.

All of us fit this catagory.

Um, just wanted to point out I've been known to say to my husband that skirts are dumb (as a functional item of clothes on me). I'm all for him in them because it makes him happy. I'm just an eager supporter from the sidelines because men look nice in skirts.

Back to the wordsmithing, I'd think there are also men here who want skirts as an option without necessarily having a preference for skirts. I would think being open to unconventional things would be the personality trait to identify with rather than the clothing that expresses it. Still, how to describe a guy in a skirt- skirter?

[Since1982]

Chaser, I think you're skirting the issue. How about Skirtsman...similar to Scotsman but without only the Kilt. Skirtsman would include sarongsmen, sulusmen, kainsmen, and all various robe wearers too..Actually, I think skirting any issue is a good thing.
