amusing words

This post finds its genesis in making a comment on a friend's blog.

I go to make a comment, and as usual, I have to look at a weirdly warped image of some made up word, decipher its contents, and type the word into a box to verify that I am indeed a human being. The word was something like "luorpleld". I'm sitting in the middle of the cafeteria at school, and I laugh hilariously at this word. I then blush in embarrassment as many people stare at me with looks of "whoa, that guy's got issues".

I go through phases where I love words. Every once and a while, I'll come across a word, usually one more commonly used, and I'll get stuck on analyzing it. It will start to sound strange after a bit, then I start to wonder why such an awkward meeting of sounds every became a word that people used every day. I wouldn't call myself a logophile; I'm really just a strange person with too much time on my hands a majority of the time I'm writing something.

I think I would like to start making up definitions for these words that appear on comments and then begin using them in my everyday speech. I may even start a separate blog to document these words, or just the ones I find extremely amusing.
