New Words in the English Language
 

In our household, a couple of new words have cropped up which may well be contenders for the 2007 edition of the New Oxford Dictionary.

The first is: “WOZZON”

When I dropped Willow off at church this morning, she asked me to bring a letter back and stated “It WOZZON the computer desk” :confused: This means that when I look for the letter, it could be anywhere in the house, EXCEPT on the computer desk!

Had she said “IZZON” the computer desk, there is at least a 30% chance that it would be there. If it isn't,then W.W.3 will break out as it means that someone in the family other than her has moved it.

This is a frequent occurrence and of course, “IZZON” then changes to “WOZZON” and accusations fly.

Do you have any more new words in your household? :rolleyes:

I don't have any words that spring to mind immediately. However, if i have a mental block (quite frequently) i'm forever saying

"Have you seen that thing, that does that thing". This usually means the remote control.

:D

In our household, when I was a teenager, we used to be fed on 'IFITS'.....

IFITS in the fridge....get it yourself.

IFITS in the cupboard......Make it yourself.

Mmmmmm, they were lovely those IFITS..:D
