Knowmb : noun : [nom] or [k-nom]
Definition: A knowledge bomb.
It's when someone throws out some random fact or stat or smartness thingamajig that just blows your mind. Well your mind was blown because you got hit with a knowledge bomb, or a knowmb, as I heard a fourteen-year-old kid say the other day at a family member's scouting function. Amazing stuff, those knowmbs that kids are throwing around these days. Or so I hear.

Vigivigi
Vigivigi : noun : [vee-jee-vee-gee]
Definition: Criticism of the likeliness of something happening in real life as it happens in the movies.
You all know a person that sits there while watching a movie and complains about how "unrealistic" things are. (If you don't want any spoilers, then read no further!) Like in the second Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr., he survives a fall down a huge waterfall, one that frankly would kill most anyone. Or in the Avengers, which I watched the other day with some friends, which has all sorts of things from one-eyed Sam Jackson getting shot with no damage to his person to Cap 'Merica surviving a bomb that throws him out of a building. Anywho, people just need to accept that movies are movies. SPOILER ALERT: THEY NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED. THEY ARE FICTION. With that in mind, lets end all the vigivigi and get back to enjoying our films.

Swirt
Swirt : noun : [swurt]
Definition: A long-sleeved shirt.
This word was born (for this dictionary at least) just a few minutes ago. I was (well, am) wearing a new long-sleeved shirt and I asked my brother what he thought of my sweater-shirt-long-sleeved-thing. I didn't really think to call it a "long-sleeved shirt" right at first, so what ended up coming out of my mouth sounded something like "sweaaaaatiirt-thing" and then I tried again and narrowed it down to "swirt". Which the auto-correct on the computer keeps changing to swift. Darn auto-correct.

Whoppercule
Whoppercule : noun : [wop-er-kyool]
Definition: The collective mass of Whopper candies when they are all stuck together.
You know how when you leave Whoppers or Milk Duds or other candies in the car (or other hottish location) for too long they stick together? Well that, my friends, is a whoppercule. Like this whoppercule here.
That happened when one of those huge whopper cartons got left out in the car all day. One solid mass of pure whopperness. Still a delicious solid mass of whopperness though. No worries, no flavor lost; just combined. Literally.

Blurp
Blurp : noun : [blurp]
Definition: A single, isolated hiccup.
I'm pretty sure you all know what I mean by this. It's a hiccup that only happens once. A single time. In many ways I think blurps are even more annoying than hiccups. Because they tend to happen just randomly. Today it happened maybe four or five times to me, but over the course of the whole day. It just makes me feel a bit weird. Just a bit.

Pangover
Pangover : noun : [pang-oh-ver]
Definition: The aches and pains one has after going through something strenuous.
Think working out. Like as hard as you've ever worked out. Or taking a huge hit in football or really doing anything that really takes its toll on your body. Well you know how you wake up the next morning and you're as sore as can be? Ladies and gentlemen, this is a pangover. A hangover of pain, if you will. And unfortunately for some (like myself) we have lots of pangovers. Not very fun, if you ask me. Not very fun at all.

Bladdertude
Bladdertude : noun : [blad-er-tood]
Definition: The state of anger and frustration involved with needing to go to the bathroom.
Basically it's when you have to go to the bathroom so bad that you just get angry. At everything. And your frustration is just pouring out until you are relieved of your burden. That, my friends, is a blattertude. Though in some people it is also manifest in large amounts of silliness and uncontrollable laughter. This form of bladdertude most often occurs in younger children. Like tweenagers. They have that kind of bladdertude. It's a little weird if you ask me, but to each his own I suppose.
