I’ve determined after some brief googling that there needs to be invented a more fun word for plant, because all the current alternatives suck
I want a word that is to plants like creatures is to animals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Creeper is pretty cool, but that’s only some plants
Suggestions would be appreciated

i woke up from dream where someone was annoyed at me for making 'zilibrant overgeneralisations'.
zilibrant is not a word, but if it was what would it mean? would it be a synonym for something else, or a word with a new specific meaning?

may I introduce my word idea to the tumblr public? ..
Art boner
Definition:
When you see some art that is so awesome you get an art boner
Or.. when you think of- or hear of an absolutely amazing art idea.
Phrase examples:
Dude, your art gives me an art boner every time.
Holy shit! that was the greatest idea I’ve ever heard- my art boner went limp after you decided to scrap it though.
Thank you for coming to my Ted-talk

New 2023 words...!
Hot off the presses at Dictionary.com.
Noting with interest the addition (and why did it take so long?) of Godwin's Law.
Also possibly of interest for certain members of a certain fandom: "Jawn." :)

Words that should exist
A word for those unfunny, overused, and unwanted jokes/comments that strangers make. While the perpetrator probably thinks these jokes/comments are a nice bit of human interaction, the receiver finds them annoying and tiring. Cultural expectations mean the receiver feels compelled to answer back, as the perpetrator technically isn't being rude, but they will resent the effort.
Examples:
When an item doesn't scan properly, to cashier: 'Haha it didn't scan guess it's free'
To random women minding their own business: 'Smile!'
'Oh thanks!' while taking away your treat you placed near them
In response to a cute pig video 'Mmm bacon'
At someone washing a car 'You can do mine next!'
At someone who is cleaning 'Missed a bit!'
When asked by a waiter how their food was after the meal 'Oh I hated it!'
In response to 'what would you like?' 'A million dollars!'

Breaking down the old version and embracing the possibility of a better you is excruciating and nobody talks about it enough. Imagine leaving what you once thought was your home forever and never looking back because it stopped you from seeing the world.
