Making a new word

Mooga · 10-21-2008, 04:17 PM

I think "bullshitery" should be an official word.
Any idea how I would go about making it official?

It's bullshittery, actually.

Circuitous · 10-21-2008, 06:58 PM

And it's not new.

Mooga · 10-21-2008, 07:22 PM

Bullshittery is a real word!?

fishBurger · 10-21-2008, 08:34 PM

Sure is.

Add the suffix -ery to the noun bullshit and depending on context you've got [the art of] or [a collection of] or [the qualities of] bullshit.

Much like douchebaggery.

'Real' words can be made with suffixes, etc., like "bullshittery".

I think official status rests with the dictionary, which depends on how much the word is used.
