28 Words Rejected From The Oxford English Dictionary That You Might Want To Use

I am imagining the situation right now and I lol-ed

Aka the corridor dance

The only solution is for one person to say "you stand still". Then walk around the still one.

I used to polkadodge a lot but now I am very decisive and confident which is the way to prevent it. I'm not particularly confident and decisive in my life in general but I've learnt what to do so I don't end up doing the dance after feeling emotionally scarred by these social traumas!!!!!!

Yess

What's the criteria for rejection? 'Wibble-wobble' has been a phrase in use for a long time. Wibble, used by itself would be a natural evolution of use.

I can imagine the Doctor from Doctor Who using this.

I've been using this for a while. I assumed it was a legit meaning of the word!

The word wibble is already in the dictionary, although not with the above definition.

Isn't there another word for that already? That I cannot think of just now.

commonsenseables (n).

Who are these heartless people!

Yep, this is a real word as far as I'm concerned.

I am currently bored attending a nonference

All of Seinfeld. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

There's actually a food truck that runs in my area that is called Locavore. I still think it's a funny word/name. In my head it means someone who eats trains.

Oh, me?

...someone who eats crazy things

OF COURSE it's rejected. Because it's a miss-spelling of LOCAVORE which is in the dictionary. (Portmanteau of Loca- as in local & the -vore of carnivore, herbivore, insectivore, etc.)

I'll be we'll see this on actually added to the dictionary before long.

It’s called impatience

I f*****g hate people who do that. Just get to the line and stop and then wait for the green and go.

People think that if they slowly move forward, then the light will turn green faster. I don't believe it, obviously.

So, the fancy word for evil eye or death stare?

Actually this would be spot-on, why the rejection?

Wurfing is what I am doing right now.

Ooops. Let's leave this one alone.

Basically Scotland everyday

This happen on february. Jacked up my orange tree. Now it's sickly. Hmph! :(

I'm Furgleing right now on BP

I thought furgle was the stuff that collects in pockets that is not dust, not fur, and not useful???
