After researching it a bit, I found that it was indeed "car hole". Well sir, I wrote the most recent entry, after I thought the proper term was "car hold" too. "Car hole" sounds like it cound mean any number of things. Is it "car hold" or "car hole"? Most reliable online Simpsons resources (like SNPP) have "car hole", but this keeps getting edited.Īnd why does it have exclaimation points now? I always thought of it as "car hold" since the wording is self explanitory. (I don't see a way that "Blunch Black of Blotre Blame" could take on a lexicographical usage, for example) Dystopos 21:31, 2 November 2005 (UTC) Reply By this account, "Kwik-E-Mart" might have a case, but the rest of these suggestions should be nixed, along with some of the items in the article itself. eponyms "gerrymander" and "sideburn" or genericides like kleenex or xerox). Arteitle 13:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC) Reply Proper nouns aren't properly neologisms unless they are used more broadly as words (e.g. Granted, some are just fun to read 'cause they remind you of that "great episode." - Fitch Many of these are presently listed under various Fictional brands articles (e.g. What's unique is that the words on this list are usable in our world, and some of them are. The 'fictional items' in the show are already listed, either in List of vehicles in The Simpsons and List of fictional characters within The Simpsons but we could start a List of locations on The Simpsons too. It seems that since those proper nouns are considered fictional to us, we couldn't use those words in ours. Krusty Brand Products, (In fact, Krusty can be used as an adjective), We already have "Malk" and "Tomacco", so I don't see why we can't have: Should we allow proper nouns in this list? This "article" is silly enough as it is, so I don't see why not. OED shows neologism to also include coined phrases not just coined words so i have moved it to a more appropriate title. Fitch Your right, I was unsure if our definition of neologism as "coined word or phrase" was accurate. Please take out 'phrases' or find a word that means 'made up phrases'. Now there will be tons of 'phrases' from the show, which is not what the intention of the list was. And while we're at it, make it a List of… - Fitch I love that Alkivar put in the compact TOC, but the in the rename/move of the page added 'phrases on The Simpsons,' leaving it open to misinterpretation. 12.103.251.203 21:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC) Reply if you are going to be academic about the simpsons, at least s/made-up words/ neologisms/ in the title.Īgree totally. The idea shouldn't be to have as many words as possible, but to have ones which really are "made-up words". "blurst" is one which really irritates me-it was a deliberate typo for gosh sakes, not a made-up word! The fake show titles don't fit, "boo-urns" is a stretch, etc, etc. was just going to say the same thing, but see it's already been done :) The topic is worth writing about, but about half of these words don't qualify for obvious reasons and not every "non-real-word" in the show is worth mentioning. (Bolonium, Car Hole, Dickety, Tomacco) Either way this page needs to go through some judicious pruning. I think the page should just reflect nonsensical words used repeatedly in the series or introduced as words or terms. since they are just proper nouns within Simpsons episodes. I agree about the puns and play on words (BBBQ, Nucular) and would include the entries BiMonSciFiCon, CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet, Thrillho, etc. I wouldn't mind excluding phrases (and giving them their own page) or fixing the title/opening paragraph to include them. Is it really necessary to list every nonsensical word or phrase that has ever been used on the show? - DynSkeet (talk) 12:16, J(UTC) Only a few seem to have actually been used other than by fans to each other for instance, "cromulent" and "embiggen". Although some entries are indeed made up, such as "assalhorizontology", others are just puns or jokes based on existing things like "achy breaky pelvis". The intro seems to suggest that what follows will be words such as "D'oh" that gained widespread use. I don't think the article's title (or opening paragraph) appropriately describes its content.
