Wordsmith
I like to create words. Here are two words that I have made up for everyday use that I hope you will incorporate into your vocabulary. The first is a word that I made up many years ago and have used often ever since. The second is more recent, but has entered the vocabulary of many people in my “inner circle”. That’s basically just Kristin right now. Here are the words, pronunciation key, and definition. Oh, and your welcome. Enjoy my words.
1) Tastetacular [taste-tak-yuh-ler]- adj. - Refers to food or beverage. A joining of the words “taste and spectacular” meaning that something tastes spectacular.
“These cookies are tastetacular!”
“Who made the tastetacular hors d’oeuvres?”
2) Ridonkulous [ri-donk-yuh-lus] - adj. - Beyond ridiculous.
“That hat is ridonkulous!”
“It is completely ridonkulous to suggest that my client is anything but innocent.”

love the words; love the blog. Ashley and I read it often. Good luck with the snake.

I will definitely begin incorporating the new words as soon as a circumstance permits!

I would like to state how RIDONKULOUS that movie was last night and how tastetacular that passion tea was @ starbucks. (Just some examples to share from an exprienced Wordsmith, like myself)

Really hate to burst your wordsmith bubble…but “ridonkulous” was used in an episode of The O.C. and I’ve been saying it ever since. I actually said it in front of Kristin on mother’s day weekend and she was quite surprised!
Perhaps word of your cutting-edge creations made it to the Fox producers…
