Interesting. How shall we define whadagadabo?

I'd treat it as a portmanteau sort of word. Wha-daga-dabo.

Wha - self explanatpry as in Wha?, a surprised exclamation.
daga - a pointy thing you shiv people with.
dabo - Latin for "I will give", Do,Dare,Dedi,Datum


So, as far as I can tell, it's the cowardly response you give when you are mugged, just as the thug pulls a knife on you...

Muckcluck

I think, perhaps, you mean 'mukluk', which is a very comfortable slipper type thing very popular for keeping one's feet warm in the depths of the Canadian winter.

My personal favorites are Palimpsest (a document that's been written over twice), Quincunx (which I never knew there was a term for!) and Zenzizenzizenzic (The eighth power of a number; 256 is the Zenzizenzizenzic of the number 2).

Yeesh!

We can make them real words. We can make up definitions for them and start using them. If Bling Bling can make the dictionary so can these words.

Bling Bling made the dictionary? I need a new language.

 

[Ferret]

Yup, that'd be nice. There should be list of new words at the Collins dictionary webiste If i could find it.
