    You answered Dalton with a "commonly used word that DOES exist, but is a form of a more commonly used word".

    That should be an official word. And for the love of penguins, don't call them noodles!

    It took time here...
    We use the words so much, I wasn't really sure they weren't in the dictionary.
    Well.....

    Nice double-negatonier, Terry(the way "negative" is said in these parts-but not by me.)

    I don’t think “canuckish” has made it to the dictionary.

    Ahh, we never know what makes it into the dictionary these days. Is one of the meanings of the word "SO" a classic beginning word to any sentence?

    In that context, "so" is a phatic.

    Good research-unless you knew that anyway. I am dying for the day someone uses it like that with another person, who in turn says "Nobody says it like that anymore".

    Here’s a good one I just read; procraftinate; to spend time making some fun craft item, rather than do what you are supposed to be doing.

    There was a dock manager when I worked at the post office who used to say, “Look people, this isn’t rocket scientry!”

    I've always liked Jon Taffer's "stupivisor"... a manager with neither the pay grade nor the actual authority to perform his or her job properly.

    In my years as a teacher, I had my share of “stupidvisors” too.
