New Word

[racoony]

I have just invented the word "misremember", meaning to think you have remembered something only to discover that you have got it completely wrong!
Does anyone think it could be useful?

[bookbinder]

Somebody's beaten you to it, racoony!

I suppose it's no worse than 'misspoke', a favourite of Hillary's when she meant lying through her teeth.

[Mamyalynne]

Raccoony misremembered inventing it some time ago.

[Jackdaw33]

As the prefix 'mis' simply means 'wrongly' I suppose it can be added before any verb.

When little my son once shivered so badly it frightened him......he said his skeleton was rattling......

So our new word for a sudden shiver became....skrattle......x

I haven't got a new word to add to the list but when we have the leaving party the other day it reminded me of when I was small and Mum and Dad were out to a do - I heard them discussing the night and thought they'd joined some sort of cannibalistic cult.


Yes - they said there would be a 'Finger buffet'.

And you were really hoping they hadn't treated you to some left overs, Mamya?.... :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Well I did worry for a while.

During a maths exam a pupil asked me if she could use her....
count you later.........showing me her calculator......I loved the new word..... :-)

[Mamyalynne]

That's perfect.

I remember Soccer AM inventing the word "bouncebackability".

[Mamyalynne]

Something we all aspire to Dave.

To me 'miss-remember ' means a young German student -teacher at grammar school in 1961!

My suggestion of the word....Answerbunker..(Person who talks rubbish in AB)appears to have been rejected.

However, perhaps I am permitted to submit a further word which would refer to removed answers.........Answerbonked.
