I found this list again, somehow, and cracked up reading this again. What's wrong with me? I must have been away too long.
Also, I still love AbraxasZugzwang, AND Don Cheadle. Because, in all seriousness, this situation has a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out.
All the more reason why scriptie is such a versatile word. And maybe I'm just a hasty cynic, but I'm not sure that any Wordieworthy words have ever been ad libbed. Mostly that spontaneous dialog is just throwaway filler, isn't it?
You know, scriptie is not bad at all. Figuring that any words entered on a Wordie list about a given film would have been *spoken* in the film, they would have to have been written first. And especially since I dabble in screenwriting myself, it makes sense to honor the scriptwriter rather than the film itself for featuring said words. Thanks, u.
about 1 year ago uselessness said:For what it's worth...
I vote for scriptie in all seriousness, and hollywoodie if we're just joking around.
No, not movie dialogue, just words from films. I wouldn't want to put in entire lines of dialogue. Though nothing's really stopping people from doing that, I'd imagine it would be pretty irritating.
I like cinemie toast but it isn't quite right. Filmie could work. AZ, what do you think? Since we're spamming your very nice list...
Oooh, now *there's* an idea, c_b. You thinking of movie dialogue?
And trivet, you're right: filmie sounds like negligee and cinemie makes me want breakfast. ;-) Hmm...how 'bout Talkie? It harks back to the early days of cinema....
Incidentally, is there a "poetrie" or "tunie" term for "movie"? I changed the title of a list today, but the best I could come up with in my mentally crippled state was "moviee." Which kind of sucks, I freely admit.
Surely un-favorite isn't original? So many web sites these days allow "favoriting" of one thing or another, and removing said thing from your favorites list is naturally referred to as un-favoriting it. Maybe without the hyphen. I'm sure it's been used by plenty of other parties before Wordie ever entered the picture.
I can, however, vouch for stuffie, poetrie, tunie, and democracie. Those are all uniquely Wordie. Wordian. Wordiesh. Whatever.
Thanks c_b. Until I get some background on some of those words, I guess I'll have to wait to add them. But I'll send word home to Squiggy that his nickname made your list!
You might find some more suggestions on the list "Favorite Words that Aren't Really Words." I wouldn't suggest them here because I'm not the one who can say whether they were invented on Wordie--but if you're looking for more, it might help.
I found this list, cracked up reading it, then thought "I should post a comment about that," and realized that 5 months ago, I already did.
It's still bitching out. :)

You love us both :)
AZ, I love you. Or wait... maybe I love Don Cheadle.
What about Don Cheadle's "This situation has a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out"? That was adlibbed.

Of course, movies are not the only things with scripts. And what about ad libbing, or am I just being difficult?
That was pretty much my reasoning. That, and I think it just sounds better, and without any questionable connotations. ;-)

filmie? cinemie?
Mmm...cinemie toast...maybe less movie, more breakfast.
OK, well, I'm batting a thousand here.

Maybe so. But Wordienista (with the extra "e") would be All Ours. ;-)
That was Stephen Colbert. :-)
Well, it's true, I haven't gone searching around the Net for "un-favorite." But what about trivet's wordinista? ;)
so speaks our resident wordinista:)

un-favorite. I can verify that it was coined on Wordie. It can be a verb or a noun.
I was going to mention sionnach's expectatory, but maybe that would be unwise.
Oh yes. I can affirm that depontificate was coined right here!
added, and fantabulous word!
Yes - see deponticate. I'm all about the coinage.
was it invented on Wordie?
Trivet's depontificate?
NO, really! It just...er...popped into my head! This place will do that to you.
suuuure, by accident. You'll own this list in no time.
AZ, I think I just came up with one by accident. See googlewhack.
It damn well better. Get to inventin' people!
Oh, I have a feeling this list will grow.... :-)
Thanks c_b. Until I get some background on some of those words, I guess I'll have to wait to add them. But I'll send word home to Squiggy that his nickname made your list!
HA HA!! Love this list!

You're right AZ. I found 'fauxtatoes' on another site. Can't remember now which one...
Thanks. Wombastic is added, but I'm not convinced fauxtatoes is a product of Wordie.
fauxtatoes, wombastic?
