New words whose creation I've been around for

Posted by Johnny

I invented the word "mottie" today, and realized that I'm sitting on a small lexicon that might do service to others when they're looking for the perfect word to describe something. Here's a partial list (note that some of these are new uses for existing words):

  • bring-a-ling (vb.) — Bring.
  • executive decision (n.) — The act of using a restroom. (ie: I have to make an executive decision.)
  • exfiltrate (vb.) — To exit an establishment in a stealthy or militarily forceful manner.
  • jazz (vb.) — To play jazz music. (ie: I'm jazzing tomorrow night at the Beat Niq.)
  • johnny (n.) — The act of requesting a date from a member of the opposite sex who is involved in a serious relationship, usually an engagement, due to either stupidity or lack of observation. (ie: I just pulled a johnny on that chick.)
  • loserpissed (adj.) — A state of intoxication achieved with less-than-typical effort.
  • molish (vb.) — The opposite of demolish. To create something.
  • mottie (n.) — A moderately hottie. One who is moderately hot.
  • snooker (vb.) — To accurately hit a man's groin, resulting in pain.
  • stroy (vb.) — The opposite of destroy. To create something.
  • teamsmanship (n.) — Conduct and attitude considered as befitting a member of a team.
  • tom (n.) — The act of driving through a yellow light as it turns red without altering the speed of the vehicle from the moment the yellow light was observed. (ie: I just pulled a tom.)
  • train (vb.) — To ride public transit. (ie: Are you training in the morning?)
If you have any words that you think should be added to our vernacular, leave them in the comments.

Remember when I created "e-tarded" the other day? Someone still searching for that 'any' key.

And I thought up a new one today: "homocide".

However, both have already been previously defined by UrbanDictionary.
