Regardless of how silly the word may seem, please share it! Maybe they can make their way into people’s vocab!

    I would absolutely love to commandeer the cartoon title “Animaniacs” as a word to refer to people, such as myself, who love cartoons/anime/animated content over live action anything.

    Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.

      I actually kind of like that the word covers a lot of situations. I’d support different words for different loves but my feelings about my romantic partner, my friends, and riding a bike are kinda related to each other in some way.

        The word love would not disappear. Its meaning would just shift to something that feels off when you mean a specific type of love. What you whisper in the ear of your lover in bed, will be different from what you tell your kid when they go off to school. But when talking about the amount of love you have to give, the old word “love” will still be used, since that is usually about any kind of love.

      There is/was a naming system from the olden English times where Quice would come after Thrice. You would be hard pressed to find any English language speakers nowadays younger than 50, who know anything pasted thrice.

    Male lions are now called lioners. Also, as I’m German and we don’t have a proper word for lioners either, I propose “Löwer”.
