Have you ever made up a word for something and a few years later it is being used all over the world?

When I was about 12, I came up with the word FRICKIN.
I used that word in place of the OTHER word: F****ing...

I had NEVER heard the word Frickin before in my life.

Sure enuff, that word is now used all over the world.

I made up a word for small laptops etc ... called PUC's

Personal utility consoles.

No one uses it however they call them PDA's

PUC is much better thought IMHO.

LOL :) And I came up with "friggin" :) As in..."I am friggin hungry", or "I am friggin cold"!

Seriously though, it is funny how words or phrases take hold....

I remember the following coming in and out of circulation - and thinking that once I started using these terms lo and behold EVERYONE did as well:

"He's HISTORY", "You're HISTORY", "That's HISTORY" (back in the 80s)

"Sorta kinda in a roundabout way" (later 80's early 90s)

"Cool Beans"! - Mid 90s

"That's so Funny..." Early part of this decade

Currently I've been on a "Well there ya go" fad.....

Of course, I do realize I didn't actually author any of these - but still, it is funny to say something once, then realize you're saying it quite frequently, then hearing other people do it too!

what is driving me up the wall at the moment is all the people I deliver to here in the UK saying 'Oh, cool!' when I hand them the package I'm delivering to them.

only noticed it this past year or so, and they are normally 19-25 years old.

ahhh

seriously, it goes through me like someone scratching their nails down a chalkboard whilst biting a fork full of tin foil!

I think that would be an obviousity.

Obviousity is the opposite of nebulosity.

While I doubt that it is global, I do know that his word I 'invented' a decade or so ago has been making the rounds.

Fricken/Frickin was around back when I was a kid - If you are younger than 50 sorry.

Well, I don't know if I get credit or not, but back in the 90's, there was an apartment full of guys in a friend's complex. You know the type - backwards red hats, Ford Rangers with only the front lifted, blaring Sublime and 311 all the time...I started calling them "Bros" and it seems to have stuck, since I hear that term all the time now for those types.

Re: Have you ever made up a word for something and a few years later it is being used all over the world?
Few people from the younger generation are familiar with Popeye's phrase,

" I Yam what I Yam...."

Well from that, I came up with

"It is what it is..."

I remember using that phrase back in the early 80's when I started calling sports shows and right wing talk shows on the radio.

I would always close out my comments about a political topic or about a team's performance or about an athlete by saying,

" Oh well. It is what it is..."

And that's how that phrase got started - on talk radio!

Actually true story, I invented the word "gunt". It's what you call a fat gut that is really low on a person. Gut-cunt = gunt.
