I like new slangy words. My favorites this year are 'sideboob' and 'slowclap.'
You guys got any?

I thought 'fugly' was pretty cool (and useful) awhile back.

WTF; I don't wanna be your jinjurious fugly drunkle here, but I decided to sleep alone tonight after all; the other option was a needy gunt muffin top.
Sad but true.

This sweet yogurt bukkake avatar was stolen from coldcrush, btw. Give that man a slow clap!

i prefer "frontbum".

i call people "nibnob". i have no idea what it means, but it sounds funny.

rhyming ones like "c*nt-punt" are fun too.

anything that starts with ass works too. "assballs" is one of my favorites. it doesn't mean anything but it sounds better than its synonyms "bollocks", "bullsh*t", etc.

hmmm...sounds like cormac McCarthy. Dude loves his compound words and despises hyphens, I guess...eg. (from 'the road,' opened to three random pages): "eyeholes, roadcut, illformed, billcap, seedpackets," and "backtracked."
His earlier stuff had even more of that.
