Here's mine:
Japangover - a feeling of disappointment with Korea that results from spending time in Japan. Most commonly experienced in the days following a visa run.
Also, a similar word has come up already, but a good friend of mine named Vegas Phill coined the term Sojussi back in 2000. |

I tend to use -ish a lot to express an approximate date or time.
Like :
- What time do you want to meet? Like 7'ish?
- Yeah ok, monday'ish?
Then I started to add them to the end of my sentences. Weird I know  |

Today, I thought of the noun "ajumocity" (rhymes with "velocity.")
Looking back through the annals of Dave's, I see that uberscheisse has claimed ownership of that one. Got to love it.
A while back, we were brainstorming collective nouns, and we came up with "ajummada" though I can't find the thread so I don't know who to credit. Whoa, turns out *I* invented it. Clever me.
seoulsucker came up with "ajummafia" and someone else coined "squadjuma" and they're both great.
There was a similar thread last summer which is worth another look.

I have no recollection of writing this comment, but I think it's pretty funny:
| Quote: |
Obstripperous: Prone to hooting "Take it off!" at inappropriate moments.
Blecherous: Expressing sexual interest in a distasteful or uncouth manner.
Lugby: A sport for refrigerator-sized British-born Asian guys. |
So, what's the word for realizing that you're not as smart as you once were, possibly due to excessive alcohol use? |
ajumummification -- the process of transition to a stable ajummatic state
aju-mob -- if you haven't been stampeded by one, or run off of a cliff by one, just you wait and see
bodjumma -- she may be an ajumma, but she's still got a bod and she's not afraid to shake it -- mostly into your rib-cage
ajummantra -- can be heard at fruit-stands and street-stalls of all sorts: "o-baeg-won, o-baeg-won, o-baeg-won..."
radjumma -- the true cutting-edge of the ajumma scene, setting the new trends in Darth Visor chic, permafrost hair-helmets, etc.
aju-mart -- the local mom&pop quickie-mart, usually minus the pop
ajumocracy -- anywhere ajummas rule the roost
ajummatriculation -- the process of initiation and acceptance into the ranks of the aunt-farm |

Ahsajingna..... combining the two common Korean expression "ahsa" and "jajingna" to express when something good and bad happens at the same time. I use this when the kids and I play games in which good news for one player means bad news for another.
==============================================
When I was in university I did a creative writing - poetry course where the students would bring in a new poem each week (one 3 hour class per week) that was quite interesting. I wrote a really strange one once (in 1990 I think), called "The Gibberish Song." I think I can still remember it.
Ahem.... (probably the strangest thing I have ever written)
I brought you a sunsmile to start the day,
Bought you roses but you threw them away,
I came to you with frozen hands
And you sent me off with the marching bands.
Remember the moondays, heartslide?
Those of the sanddial smoketape?
Remember our heartfelt sharesmile,
As we walked dreammile floatscape?
Now the downscope in this hopetown
Has left my memory rusteyes,
With an earful of colorrays clockrun
And a blandishment of dustguise.
Everything's just twistcorn,
Rockpaint, silver skywall,
Rungbottom, rocketshoot, overtime,
And you and me and that's all. |

That's an interesting question.
How about budunwiser? Or alcorrupted? Brainboozled?
Drunken frustration in Korean: Ja GIN na.
Drunk from too much soju: Sojuiced. |

Did you know "quinella" is a word? I didn't until I saw your name. |

How about a term,
Unwanted farticles.
Or Farticulation.
I haven't heard anyone else use a term I think of for such unwanted release, though it's just two normal words together, and it sounds as gross as the real thing.
"anal seepage" |

If memory serves me right, I coined that one in Lower Hutt in 1992. |
