It seems the Oxford English Dictionary are going to take on board words submitted by the general public, me thinks jaysay could have a real field day with this one:enough::D:D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Think they'd need a whole new dictionary for you John!

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

How about "Jaysayism" as a new word?;)

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

A similar classification to "spoonerism"? :D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

But encompasses so much more in its rich variety of expression.

with all the text speak thats about it will make scrabble increadibly easy to play lol

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Exactly Sue, an important part of the "Jaysayism" is the complete lack of intention when pronouncing them -a sort of sponteneity bordering on the naif!:D

A good example which springs to mind being Dudget instead of Budget - surely a dudget deserves to exist in the collective national vocabulary -it has that certain "Je ne sais qua?!" (pardon mon Francais!):o

I fear the OED may have to set up a whole new collection just for Jaysayisms -I envisage teams of researchers trawling Accyweb for them -could take decades to compile!

I see someone is thinking up sneaky ways of using up those last impossible letters!:rolleyes::D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

OED will just give it to Collins to turn into a foreign language phrase book. ;) :D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Oh come on Di I've only made the odd post:eek::eek::D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Perhaps we are all falling into Jaysayisms - Peut-etre "Je ne sais quoi":D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Tabernac! Jaysayisms are migrating to other languages:eek:

On a semi-serious note: There is actually an OED of Canadian English. Turns out that "cougar" (as in "old broad looking for boy toys";)) and "stud muffin", are actually Canadian coinages.:D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Oui-oui!:o That's my Italian creeping in and taking over:D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Hey:confused::D

Re: The Oxford English Dictionary
 

Don't think anybody would be referring to you as a stud muffin Eric:D
