I think I might have, though not checked up the Oxford English...


Frivia


In relation to this

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55717...

It was a cross between frivolity and trivia. "That's just Frivia.... "








Any words you have invented that need to be in the expurgated version of Websters?

My in-laws use the phrase "spot bk right" if something is correct or perfectly placed.

Ie when measuring and cutting something then trying it for size - "yup spot bk right"

They use it all the time.

Never heard it anywhere else so always thought they might have invented it

Twunt

a combination swear-word, which in this format is totally unoffensive. In original form is not nice in mixed company.

Not a word as such, but my grandfather dies at the start of lockdown 1. On a daily walk with my 4y/o we went through a cemetery and used it as a chance to talk to him about life/death and read gravestones etc. On the way out he said “that body museum was really big!”. From now until I die cemeteries will be referred to as Body Museums.

Going down to my mum and her partners Cornwall holiday home with my mother driving. Mum, who is Normally a fairly quiet and reasonably well spoken, small lady. Rolled down her window and summoned all of her 4 foot 10 physique and shouted with impressive gusto, WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU fkING wkSTAIN! I had never heard wkstain used as a personal insult before and it caused me and my stepdad a great deal of amusement while mum seemed quite embarrassed. We regularly remind her of this and it is a commonly used derogatory phrase amongst family now biggrin

Shop assistant - "Would you like your paper rolled or folded?"
Me - "Rolded" rolleyes

My wife stills takes the P years later.
