Ok so I have thought about it, read the emails saying that I should do it and finally I think ok… I’ll do it but I’m going to do it different. You know I am a rebel so there you go.
Many of you have left comments before and some have even emailed me saying that I should put together a “SanityFound Dictionary” and publish it. The difference that I am talking about is… well its going to be ALL of us not just me. I mean sure I come up with some words, I find the oddest ones as well and add them into my vocab, to me its fun and makes life more colourful.
So here is the proposal… I ask you for submissions…
If you have made up any words
If you use a word not regularly used by others but you think its funky and should be used
Want to try your hand at making up some words? Think some up and try your hand at it
Slang used in your country, suburb, province, state, culture that you think is funky and universal
With all of the above try give the following details
Origin – Did you invent it, did you hear it, misunderstand something someone said, read it, found it, etc
Pronunciation – say it out loud and type it as it sounds
Definition – What does it mean?
Use – Put it in a sentence as you would use it
Example:
Absofruitly
Origin: SanityFound
Pronunciation: ab-sooo-fruit-lee
Definition: Agreeing happily
Use: I most agree absofruitly
If you want to see what I have done so far then head over to my SanityFound’s Dictionary Page and if all else fails at least have a laugh…
If we get enough submissions then I’ll put it into an A, B, C book format which you can either download or I’ll put it up on Cafepress at cost.
So let the games begin, if anything, it should be fun…

fan-doo-gly
yes! absolutely.
badong – Bad and Wrong all at once – I dare not give an example lest I get into trouble. But, for EXAMPLE, I think that Bush saying we must all go to war is bad and wrong…. love this word. it is most often used by the fashion police when describing combinations such as rib-high wide belts when ‘commited’ in gold leather.
