My attempts at changing the english language:

[conuly]

Gigglesnorts: most people who have seen this word seem to use it. That is still not very many people, but I will call this early, unintentional experiment an success.

FLAM: Not really my word, but again, it seems to be spreading around NC and beyond. Updates later.

Mihi: Only Phy and one or two latin geeks use it :(

New additions:

Iste: This disreputable, from latin.
Ipse: An intensifier. I ipse think that's bullshit. I myself think that's bullshit.

And a question. If I added a random dialectal word (meaning an uncommon word not in my dialect) to my internet language every week, how long until I got attacked by wild beasts? Would one a month be better?

/me knew of the origin of 'chortle', but 'gigglesnort' has a decidedly...different...tone. And besides, my laugh is a bit more of a giggle than a chuckle. :)

*grins*

Embarassed as I am to mention it, I can't actually giggle. I cackle, I make loudass hyena noises, I don't giggle.

I giggle.

And trust me, my girly side ain't pretty.

Well...
