I'm surprised nobody says cantankerous more. I know some people who are.

Very fucken awesome.

I also think fucklaudery should be used more, but that's not really a word in the dictionary.

Hoopla comes from the French "Houp-La!" basically meaning "Get over there, brat!" It was usually mothers yelling that at their kids, back in the day.

Neat, Jamie.

Chucklefuck, it seems like a good blend of words.

random question, does anyone know of a word that means both surprised and appalled or intrigued and appalled; I need to know becuase I feel this way so much.

See here?

Also, how would you use "jamie" in a sentence? I'm unfamiliar with that slang.

Re: Words That Need to Be Used More

Frippery.

I've only seen it once before, and that was in a fanfic. Had to look its definition up, something I normally don't have to do with words. Too few people I know are aware of it, let alone actually use it.
