Another word would be roof, although it is debateble. It is listed in the dicionary as both "rufe" and "roof (oo as in book)." Which do ya'lls (ha) use? I use roof, not rufe.
I am pretty sure that at least everyone in my city does prounce the word ora-ggin. I wonder if I use the proper pronunciations for other cities and states. Hmmmmmmmm...
Actually, some of my friends and I have been inventing the words on this page during our english class. I have yet to find one, but if someone does, will they please list it?

This word, though somewhat grotesque is one of my all time favorites. Festering wound. Gives me chills.

picklechipsluva5 commented on the word jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bit, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in though.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast though slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
-Lewis Carroll
(A poem that preceeds Through the Looking Glass)

It is actually not a genuine "word," but one that was invented by my english teacher.

I absolutely agree. I, personally, am a huge fan of Napolean Dynamite, but I also enjoy plotlets in other movies, stories, etc..

I am not that concerned about finding my words in the dictionary. As you can see, I have a list titled, "Words that should be words, but aren't."

This word means a dependant clause. It, alone, would not be a complete sentence.
