Lexical dark matter

Medupical

Frostitute

Killingry

Phomance

The above is a list of words that are not to be found in any dictionary, however, they are words that can be used to enhance the evocativeness of what one is trying to convey. According to Erin McKean, founder of Wordnik.com such words could be said to belong to "lexical dark matter," a realm in lexiverse that is peopled by words and expressions which remain undictionaried (un-colonized by dictionaries) till the time when there is enough evidence of their usage.

The twentieth-century inventor, Buckminster Fuller used the term "killingry" to connote an entire apparatus for killing, a product of the military industrial complex. "Killingry" is formed by analogy with the word "weaponry."

A logical antonym of "killingry", according to composer John Cage would be "livingry".

"Phomance"? It could mean an incredible romance with Vietnamese food, or, phony romance.

What could "frostitute" mean? A person who sells his flesh for frosting?

We could invent words endlessly, but McKean suggests:

I’m not advocating using or creating new words just for kicks; use of neologisms should be judicious, lest you end up sounding like a bad science-fiction novel. If your new word enhances your readers’ experience, go for it.

Does this mean that I can't use "Islandic" as a substitute for "insular"?

"Fug" has ceded place to "cu&^"

According to linguist Ruth Wajnyrb's dictionary of slangs, Expletive Deleted, dirty talk cements fellowship within the group doing the talking and obscenity enhances one's vivacity.

This I find to be true, as I have been a half-hearted ear witness to many a dirty talk bonding on NYC subways. My experience tells me that Dominican Republican-American kids hailing from the Bronx specialize in this sort of bonding.

Sex, or adolescent sex, is the richest contributor to their slang.

Wajnyrb discusses ethnic variations of verbal filth. The Arabic and Turkish like elaborate and "surrealist" curses: "You father of sixty dogs."

Bosnians tear apart families: "May your mother fart at a school meeting."

Scots and African-Americans hold actual competitions of verbal abuse.

Here is a prize-winning entry:

I hate to talk about your mother, she's a good old soul,
She got a ten-ton pussy and a rubber asshole.

Wjnyrb's words of wisdom: "Fuck" (pronounced as "fug" by American G.I.'s in Norman Mailer's novel The Naked and the Dead) has ceded first place to "cunt."
