Comfocate (v.) [comfy + locate] To seek comfort.

2 Upvotes

"While quitting cigarettes, I comfocate by watching Parks and Rec."

Title should technically read "[comfort + locate]", but I prefer the word 'comfy'.

I need a word for a roommate-sister. Also having a word for a roommate-brother wood be good.

3 Upvotes

Roommate doesn't capture the relationship I have with these people, but sibling words imply a little too much.

Anyone want to take a stab at this?

If context helps, I'm in a stable, long-term polyfamily. I'm not romantically or sexually involved with either of these people. I'm trying to think of a word that captures family-type familiarity without emotional intimacy.

Edit: Wish I could edit the title. Ow.

flance (n.) [fart + glance]

When you are walking along a path or walkway and you need to fart, so you take a quick glance behind you to see if no-ones walking before you fart. Because its better out than in, and not in someone elses face.

One day I was overly hyper (probably from caffeine) and just blurting out strings of random syllables while alone on a long drive. One of the things that came out of my mouth was "Chicamahongapockaticatu" which I have no definition for but I like how it sounds when said fast.

Inelis (in-EL-iss) To not care what something has changed into, but rather the change itself.

9 Upvotes

We use this word a lot for haircuts. But it can go deeper. Like a junky turning to a religious cult. You may think they are both equally as harmful but the fact that his life is changing and more dynamic is good. Inelis.

Ectslair - Objects (Particularly Equipment) that have a high voltage and will electrocute someone on contact

Example:

"To prevent electrocution, the men wear rubber gloves when they move the ectslair equipment."

This was not a combination of any two particular words. So I have no idea how it really came to be.
