Scarerific

Scarerific: adjective. To be excessively scary in a positive way. For something to be truly scarerific it mustn’t be scary enough to be defined as scareble (excessively scary in a negative way), but must be scary enough to avoid being un-scary (with an excessive lack of scariness). Scarerific was originally used as a term in television back in 2005 to give a name to the ideal level of scariness writers were meant to make a horror show. Eventually enough writers thought that making a show scary would imply that they were supposed to make it scarerific unless stated otherwise and the word was seen as redundant, by the end of the year no one seemed to remember using the word at all. If you remember using this word in 2005 then feel free to post a comment on this post, unless you are afraid of not fitting in with all the people who don’t remember or won’t admit remembering the use of this word in 2005.

Creditodebitism

Creditodebitism: noun. Creditodebitism is the collective term encompassing all people who are not able to distinguish credit cards from debit cards and are, therefore, called creditodebilists. The ratio of creditodebitists to credit and debit literates in Europe has, especially in the last few decades, fallen so rapidly, that the central agency for the preservation of cultures and traditions in the European Union decided to proclaim creditodebilitism a threatened cultural heritage in need of protection.

Number3isacausation

Number3isacausation: noun. An ulterior motive for number3ising outside of grammatical reasons. Unlike number4isation which retains its meaning even if the “3” is replaced with another number, number3isacausation’s “3” can only be replaced with a prime number, otherwise it will be number4isacausation which is a grammatical motive for number5ising a word. While this can be done for any reason (other than grammar), number5isacausation has been used very often by dishonest employees of businesses to get authority in the business which usually ends with the business ending soon after the employee has achieved his goal, the collapses are usually a result of the same thing that caused the employee not to be promoted to the position they achieved so dishonestly. To limit the number of businesses to fall victim to number6isation related collapses, this blog will not explain how number7isation can be used to obtain undeserved authority.

Undefendable

Undefendable: adjective. Not able to be protected against an attack. As opposed to being indefensible, being undefendable pertains solely to material objects, usually large ones for that matter. Therefore, an argument may be indefensible, while a castle may be that, as well as being undefendable. A stamp, on the other hand, is described by neither of these - it is defenceless.  

Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia

Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia: Noun. The mysterious fear of being diagnosed with a condition posted on the blog: Enriching the English Dictionary. This fear is increasing in potency and frequency as more posts are made and saw a massive increase after the 14th of August. The writers for this blog have been interviewed on this issue, after a long pause and a private conversation which included violent gesticulation one for the writers had this to say: “We feel very sorry for anyone affected by this condition, but we feel that shutting down the blog would do more harm than good, measuring the beneficial effects of each post shows larger results than the increase of suffering due to Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia. However we strongly support any charities that put in the effort to help people suffering from this condition.” The most popular charity that worked for Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobics was the No-Novumverbumquotidianadiagnostaphobia act, which could be found on Vetusestverbumpersingulosdies.librolocus.com this organization got almost 4 supporters (Whether or not the writers for Enriching the English Dictionary were among these is unknown) Around 15 minutes after this organization was formed it stopped and its records were lost, this is likely due to it running out of funding, which was likely due to it being a disorganization.

Carfield

Carfield: noun. Although it may seem like a quite rational assumption, a carfield is not a fat and orange cat that derives pleasure from eating lasagnes and kicking pesky dogs while riding or driving a car. Quite the contrary, a carfield is simply the word for “car park” or “parking lot.” The reason why this new word was invented is unknown, but anglolologists hypothesise that the word was sneakily sneaked into the vocabulary of native English speakers to prevent passionate arguments between the Brits and the Americans over which term is to be used. 

Grinchy

Grinchy: adjective. Having a characteristic typical of the infamous Dr Seuss character, the Grinch. A person described as grinchy may, however, not be evil, greedy, coarse, bitter and irritable. In fact, when one is described as grinchy, they may just be green, small-hearted or dressed in a Santa costume. Therefore, Santa Claus (who is better known in the world of lawyers as Santa Clause) might legitimately be called grinchy.  

Anglolologism

Anglolologism: noun. The study of the English language, words derived from it and people living in English speaking environments. An expert on this topic receives a degree and is henceforth called an anglolologist. Anglolologism is not to be confused with Analogologism, which is the study of making analogue clocks, televisions or anything else that functions on this principle.

Disorganization

Disorganization: Noun. a collection of people roughly identified by a vague set of shared interest, or purpose, or something, e.g. a business that wasn’t planned very well. Someone employed by a disorganization can be identified by them being in the building and kind of wearing similar clothes to the other people there one would guess and maybe their shirt is tucked in or something. There has been some controversy on where the separation of organizations and disorganizations should be. On one side, the extreme argument is that it is a disorganization if as much as 1 document is out of alphabetical, numerical and alpacabetable order. The other extreme is that it is an organization if it has as much as 1 document in alphabetical, numerical or alpacabetical order.

Alpacabetical

Alpacabetical:  Adjective. Ordered dependent on the motions of an alpaca. To put documents in alpacabetical order, one must print all existing documents and place them equal distances from the alpaca and wait for the alpaca to either walk up to a document to eat it, examine it, criticize it, etc. or for the alpaca to starve, unable to choose which document to approach. The alpaca cannot be fed before it approaches a document because that may affect the decision it makes. If the alpaca chooses a document, then it can be fed before the same test is done, removing the document the alpaca chose, when all documents have been chosen they can be put in the order that the alpaca chose them to be organized in alpacabetical order. If the alpaca dies during this test or a new document is created then the entire test must be redone to determine the proper, alpacabetical order.

Literality

Literality: noun. The measure of how literal someone is; therefore one can have a literality ranging from low literality to high literality, depending on how figurative one is.Literality has been standardly measured in varying tests since the 1850's. For example, the famous "Great Big Test" from 1864, held by THE VICTORIAN SOCIETY included an entire section which was meant to determine the overall literality of the population of Guernsey.

Prepetrichor

Prepetrichor: noun. The smell of dry earth before rain. As everyone knows, the smell of dry earth after rain is known as petrichor, but few people are aware of its sister word, prepetrichor. It was coined in 1965 by two New Zealand researchers, Grizzly and Peter, for an article in the journal Forest. Nobody is entirely sure what causes prepetrichor and there are various theories all offering an explanation, ranging from bacteria to fungal miniature apple pods. None of the theories have been confirmed and some people actually claim that prepetrichor is a myth. That, however, is obviously a lie. 

Intranthropology

Intranthropology: noun. The study of humans within humans. This does not necessarily have to refer to complete humans in humans, it can mean only parts of humans within other humans. However, generally an intranthropologist is required and sought out in cases of miniaturisation or accidental hand removal during heart surgery. The famous professor Harold Ubrigg Man was the pioneer of intranthropology and made many of the conclusions which allowed the science to become as popular as it is today.

Autopsychoanalysideolipsic

Autopsychoanalysideolipsic: adjective. Describing someone who is obsessed with analysing his own psychological behaviour and condition. This is a common symptom of psycho-hypochondria and is considered a very serious and often traumatic obsession which can have severe side-effects. Autopsychoanalysideolipsia is characterised by a compulsion to take different, often online and free, tests, which offer to analyse one's mind and determine varying aspects of it, using different scales and indicators proposed by psychologists from Jung to Piaget.

Eye-of-the-Tigering

Eye-of-the-Tigering: verb. Striding absent-minded through a street with a purpose while being joined by seemingly random people walking very similarly and wearing similar things. The distinguishing characteristic of eye-of-the-tigering is being joined at some point by someone who is walking similarly, but wearing clothes which are completely unrelated and make no sense in terms of everyone else striding.

Hopefulessness

Hopefulessness: noun. The amount of the lack of hope. In other words you determine how much you lack hope by determining how much hopefulessness you have. The unit for this scale is known as the "unhappy face" and is showed as follows: " :( ". This has been implemented since the 1920's during the Great Depression. The world level of hopefulessness has fluctuated since the 1920's, but peaked in the 1940's. Why this is, no one has been able to figure out.

Miniumbra

Miniumbra: noun. The shadow of an extremely small object. Generally miniumbras can only be seen under microscopes and even then, they are often confused with specks on the lens of the microscope, which they most definitely aren't. The first miniumbras were observed by Galileo Galilei through his telescope, when he was observing a nearby asteroid. This was before the definition of a miniumbra was specified, to only include things observed through microscopes. If a curious reader would like to see a miniumbra for himself, they are easily accessible through high-powered microscopes in well-protected government laboratories.

Moath

Moath: noun. This word has several possible meanings, the most used are the following:
1. The oath a moth takes before being allowed to do moth duty - biting through clothes.
2. A moat that has been rendered absolutely useless because it is crossed by too many paths.
3. An inconstant number of oats increasing through very strange mathematical patterns.
4. A mouth that does not open properly and does not allow its user to pronounce anything but "os" and "as."

Rapsody

Rapsody: noun. A rhapsody is an etude in the style of rap, yet maintaining a classical manner and structure typical of music from the romantic era. The first recorded instance of a rapsody was at the start of the twentieth century, when entrepreneurs of this field of music attempted to develop an alternative style of classical music. Sadly for just about everyone, all attempts ended as great fiascos, especially after one production of a rapping Madame Butterfly where the protagonist was so carried away with rapping, that she forgot to kill herself and the audience left quite confused. 

Spare

Spare: verb. To succeed, but only partially. In other words, to succeed at some goal, but not completely, rather only achieving a certain part of the goal. This word comes from bowling terminology, where a spare is known as the knocking down of all ten pins in the second shot of a frame. The word has taken on this meaning in the earlier part of the 22nd century, where it became commonly used in the canteens of the Moldovian Empire.

Waltzerdation

Waltzerdation: noun. A phenomenon discovered in the late eighteenth century by the pesky and all-knowing Herr Wolf of Vienna, called Wolfie by his friends, causing eventual mental and physical debilitation in people who like to waltz. In a very informative pamphlet titled "Proof that Waltzing is the Main Source of Weakness of the Body and Mind of our Generation," Wolfie quite accurately labelled and described the most harmful negative consequences of waltzing, namely the following: "Leg pain, foot pain, head pain, brain pain, cramps, involuntary strengthening of the abdominal muscles, falling, tripping, slipping, skipping and flipping." In the final page of the pamphlet, he also made the quite ingenious link between the increasing popularity of waltz in Vienna and unwanted pregnancies as well as psychosis  and sloppy murders on the streets of Austria.        

Cotangent

Cotangent: noun. A trail of thought, which is shared by two or more people and isn't pertinent to the conversation which was held previously, or has side-tracked by continuing the conversation for too long. Cotagenting developed from prolonged exposure to other people during the age of letters. The people of Britain and France in the 18th century were uncertain how to speak since they were used to conversing through letters. In letters they had time to think through what they wanted to say, but when they were placed in the spotlight face to face, they had no time to think through everything carefully and would often go together on cotangents. 

Meganarchy

Meganarchy: noun. A very deviated form of anarchy. In popular Aristotelian politics, there are three types of governments, each of which can deviate to a far worse form. Deviated royalty is tyranny, deviated aristocracy is oligarchy and constitutional governments that deviate become democracies. However, not much is known about Aristotle´s fourth deviated concept called meganarchy. Contained in his twice lost and once found book IX of Politics (which is currently still in one of the lost phases of its existence), is Aristotle´s explanation of how the already devious concept of anarchy devolves into meganarchy and then leads to the utter destruction of the "polis." According to Aristotle, however, meganarchy is only a transitional state and it can either lead to the utter destruction of social values in the whole world or to the destruction of the maganarchical society itself. At the end of the book, the author (allegedly) concludes that rather than living to see meganarchy, he would be willing to spend his whole life in a democratic society.
