20 Words That Should Be Added To The Dictionary by smushi(m): 1:19pm On May 02, 2015
There are thousands of words in the English language already, but you always need that one word that describes a specific object, event or person that just hasn’t been added yet. Maybe some of these words will catch on and be included, maybe not, but that still won’t stop us from using them. We all know that one person who’s an askhole and we’ve all had a food that tastes like something else… a nomonym, most of the time it tastes like chicken though.

(1)Chairdrobe
We all have that one chair in our room that we pile all of our clean clothes on, rather than putting them away… because who has the energy for that?

(2)Askhole
We all know that one person very annoying person that won’t stop asking stupid questions. Now there’s a name for them — an askhole.

(3)Masturdating
I still can’t believe people actually don’t feel awkward going out by themselves, or should I say, they don’t feel awkward masturdating?

(4)Bedgasm
Oh so that’s what everyone’s been calling the amazing feeling after a very long day at work.

(5)Destinesia
So I just went into my room and forgot what I was actually going to do, what’s that called again? Oh yeah, destinesia.

(6)Cellfish
Does anyone else have that friend that is constantly on their phone when you’re trying to spend time with them?

(7)Textpectation
By know we’ve all heard of textaphrenia — when we think we’ve felt our phone vibrate, but there’s nothing there. Well here’s a new word, textpectation, this is the anticipation we feel when we’re waiting for a response… this usually comes paired with textaphrenia.

(coolNonversation
The “hi” “hey” “what you up to?” “nothing, you?” “nm” conversation should definitely be known as the nonversation.

(9)Ambitchous
Everyone strives to be someone better than they are at the moment, then there’s the ambitchous. These people strive to be the people we don’t want to be.

(10)Carcolepsy
This is usually what happens when you’re the designated driver, picking that drunk friend up from the party. As soon as they get in the car, they’ve come down with carcolepsy. And here we thought this only happens to babies.

(11)Errorist
We all had that nerd in our classes that knew everything and would always correct the teacher, an errorist is pretty much the complete opposite.

(12)Hiberdating
Has anyone heard from… What’s her name again? Oh my gosh, I don’t even remember her name, the hiberdating girl.. the one that ditched us for her boyfriend.

(13)Internest
Let’s all build an internest around us with heaps of pillows and blankets, and spend quality time with our internet.

(14)Afterclap
We all try to be the person that starts the clapping because, for some reason, it makes us feel like a star, but then there’s the people who continue clapping when everyone else has stopped.

(15)Youniverse
Isn’t there already a word for that? Known as selfishness…

(16)Dudevorce
It’s so sad when two bros get a dudevorce to end their friendship. Let’s hope that never happens to us.

(17)Epiphanot
We all have those ideas that seem like they are the most amazing ideas, but in reality they’re extremely stupid… Maybe we should add another word, something to yell when we realize this? Maybe eurek-nah.

(18)Unkeyboardinated
Does anyone go through the pain of always getting a word or sentence wrong when typing an essay or journal? Then you delete the whole word, and still manage to type it wrong a second time?

(19)Beerboarding
I want to know if my boss is giving me a promotion, should I just take him beerboarding? Surely if he has enough, he won’t even remember the conversation…

(20)Nomonym
Now we know what to call every other meat that tastes like chicken.
