    1.) “HANGRY” : (adj.) describing someone as hungry and miserable at the same time, usually making them very miserable.

    I wish this was a word because I often find myself being both hungry and miserable, so a word describing the two would fit perfectly in my life.

    2.) “AWKLENCE”: (noun) extreme awkward silence between two or more people, causing people to be uncomfortable.

    I wish this was a word because often times in my life I find myself having awkward silence during a conversation with another person.

    3.) “FOODMOTION”: (noun) the state of being in love with food, having strong emotions for food.

    I wish this was a word because I love food so much and it plays a big part in my daily life.

    “Geekin” : Laughing hard for an extensive period of time

    This is a term my friends and I use a lot when one of us can’t stop laughing over something. I think this would be a useful word because I often find myself laughing longer than I should.

    “Foodbaby”: The enlargement of the stomach after consuming lots of food

    This is a term I have heard many people use after feeling full and I think it should be a word because it accurately describes how you feel after eating too much

    “Carcolepsy”: A condition where the passenger in a vehicle falls asleep as soon as the vehicle starts moving.

    I think this would be a useful word to describe me because I am someone who falls asleep in the car often.

  4. Eliza Joseph says:

    “Caraoke” (verb) – to sing loudly and often badly while driving in a car

    I always sing in the car even though I am not the best singer. I call it caraoke.

    “Confuzzled” (verb) – to be confused

    I’m not sure how this happened but my friends and I often say “I am confuzsled” instead of “I am confused.”

    “Riboflabbin” (noun) – the fat attached to a peice of meet

    I always take the fatty part of steak off and it’s much more fun to call it riboflabbin.

  5. Madeline Gaskill says:

    “Squoze”: Past tense to squeeze something or someone
    I wish this was a word because it sounds like an actual word that’d you’d use after you gave someone a big hug.

    “Hecka”: Slang for extremely or very
    My friend uses this to describe something that he likes a lot or thinks in cool

    “Merp”: Describing a feeling of awkwardness
    I feel that in a conversation sometimes it can get uncomfortable and you feel this way

  6. Maria Pallozzi says:

    “D’Angeloed”: (adj.) When someone is intoxicated.
    I wish it was a word because it means you are toasty and well off for the night.

    “Bimple”: (noun) Back dimples.
    I wish it was a word because its fun to say.

    “Yish”: (adj.)
    simply means yes

  7. Anna Heindl says:

    1. Dovorntle- When a book uses so much detail to describe something that you can no longer create an accurate image in your head of what you should be imagining.

    Unfortunately, this happens often enough for me that it needs a word.

    2. Shmwoop- The last bits of unwanted cereal, when they are too soggy to eat

    This is a relevant, constantly occurring morning event for me and it needs a word.

    3. Pinecha- The satisfying crunch made specifically by fallen pinecones when they are stepped on.

    Who doesn’t love stepping on pinecones for the crunch? It needed its own word.

  8. Kaylie Petrillo says:

    Cellfish- someone who is being inconsiderate and constantly sits on their phone when with others.

    Many people are obsessed with their phones and never get off them. A way to describe this is being cellfish (cell phone/selfish)

    Hangry- Being angry because you are hungry .

    I use this word a lot and I think a lot of other people do as well. A lot of people tend to get very cranky when they haven’t eaten and this is a perfect word to describe that.

    Hiberdating- When a person ignores their friends and or family after getting a boyfriend or girlfriend.

    A lot of people get into relationships and then fall off the face of the earth for a while. Hiberdating explains this well since eventually they come back around again its like they were hibernating.

  9. Julia Montecalvo says:

    Hangry: when you are so hungry that your lack of food causes you to become angry, frustrated or both.
    -I get angry when I’m hungry and sometimes my mom says I’m hangry.

    Nonversation: a completely worthless conversation, wherein nothing is illuminated, explained or otherwise elaborated upon.
    – I feel when you talk to someone you don’t know you make small talk and pointless conversations.

    Foodbaby: when you eat so much, that your stomach looks pregnant.
    – every time me or my friends eat too much we always say how we have a food baby.

  10. Laura Romaniello says:

    Confuzzled- to be confused

    Shmammered- to be very, very drunk

    Betch- a more affectionate and equally sarcastic use of the word bitch

  11. Matthew Rakowski says:

    One word that I believe should be a word is confuzzled. Confuzzled is a word that means confused or puzzled, except the pronunciation is different and more fun to say. The second word i think shoud be a word is hungry. This word is a word to describe your mood when you are angry and hungry or when you are angry because you are hungry. This word should be a word because it is a common mood when someone is hungry. The third and final word that I think should be a word is meh. Meh is a word that is used to describe something that is just okay or average. This is a word that I use a lot for something that isn’t actually a word. It should be a word because it can be used to describe almost anything. A piece of food can be meh or your day can be meh. Whatever the use, it almost always works.

      I don’t know how to delete a comment to fix it but I am aware of the lower case I that I put by accident in my post. I just missed it when reviewing it

  12. Rachel White says:

    “Textpectation” – the anticipation felt when waiting for a reply.

    In our generation, this word is very relevant because most of the communication we experience is through text messages, direct messages, etc. It’s easy to know that most people have experienced the feeling of textpectation in this day and age.

    “Dudevorce” – when two guys end a close friendship.

    Bromance has always been a common phrase that people would use to describe two guys who have a very close friendship, so it only make sense that theres a word for when the bromance ends. I also just enjoy the word and how it sounds.

    “Askhole” – someone who always asks questions that are perceived as dumb.

    While were taught there are no dumb questions, theres always someone who asks the questions that you can’t help but judge. This word allows for a fun way to describe that person that we all know.

    Refill-An inch of snow.
    (The weather channel says theres going to be 5 refills today.)

    Season- Time to do something
    (It’s library season.)
    (Are you gym season?)

    Loose-When someone is acting extremely sloppy.
    (Someone walking around in the winter time with only a t shirt and shorts on and only one shoe would be described as Loose.)

    Yammed- When something is jammed into a tight space.
    (The car was full but I was able to be yammed in)

  14. Nicholas Cocivi says:

    Yam- To forcefully do something.
    “Yam that food, we have class in 5”

    Monday- Someone you can’t stand.
    “Hitler was just another Monday”
