At least one of those probably has racist origins
I enjoy molybdenum personally
Shitweasel, Fucktangular and Fuckwit are some personal favorites
shitass is my current favorite
Wingnut is a good option if children are present.
Numbskull
Doomahockey is another words for thingamajig
I use all of these, daily.
Am…am I old?
If you’re feeling discombobulated by these shenanigans, then perhaps it’s time to skedaddle?
Higgledy-piggledy
Oh. Cattywampus means cockeyed.
.Yeah. The future is now apparently
TIL my entire adulthood has been one long latibulation…
I actually started using this word after that post spread around a few months ago.
Pumpernickel, codswallop, hornswoggle, gobbledegook, flummoxed, collywobbles.
Fun fact, pumpernickel means “goblin fart.” https://www.etymonline.com/word/pumpernickel
Perfectly fitting name IMO
Cromulent even.
Oh they are beauties
Indubitably.
Pumpernickel? I 'ardly know 'er!

English: “wug”. I love how it means nothing, and it’s used because of that, so you can test how children generate grammatical forms without their previous knowledge influencing it:
Portuguese: “traquitana”. Dictionary says it is (was) used for a type of horse carriage, but I’ve always heard it being used for either 1) that old motorcar falling into pieces, or 2) cheap, small things for sale. It sounds funny.
Italian: “zuzzurellone”. It’s basically “manchild” but not in an insulting way. Ditto, it also sounds funny.
i’ve got the whole test somewhere. it’s gorgeous. also a wug is light blue, almost cyan
spower loves his teait’s obviously “weg”, ez test
(Love your examples, never heard the other two!)
Interestingly enough I remember reading somewhere that, if the test is made with German-speaking children, they automatically pluralise “der Wug” /vu:k/ as “die Wüge” /vy:gə/. And English does show some umlaut words, so… “one wug, two weg” doesn’t sound that weird!
Ahhh the only other language I speak (very poorly at this point) is Deutsch, so that totally scans!
I’m going to start referring to my car as my traquitana and see if there’s any reaction …
A perfectly cromulent list
It embiggens even the smallest man
Paraphernalia is another good one
