Origin of Words via Lame Conversations
This is an example of a conversation that took place between two friends in which one of them rediscovers a word that was discovered (created) in the 1600’s.
Guy 1: Fuck, dude, Guy 3 is such a douche ever since he started dating Girl 25.
Guy 2: I know. All he does is think about himself. He never even calls anymore. Not to mention that when I call I have to leave him a message that will undoubtedly go ignored.
Guy 1: Oh shit, there he is. He’s coming over. Play it cool… like we don’t miss his friendship.
Guy 3: Hey, Guy 1… Guy 2. Sorry I haven’t returned any of your calls and stuff. I’ve been real busy with with Girl 25. You know how it is?
Guy 2: Yeah, sure…
Guy 1: We totally need to hang out. We miss you, man.
Guy 3: Yeah, but not now. I have to go back home. Me and Girl 25 are watching the America’s Next Top Model marathon. I’ll call you guys sometime, maybe. Later.
Guy 3 exits.
Guy 1: Fuck, all Guy 3 cares about is himself.
Guy 2: Yeah. Like his all into himself.
Guy 1: Yeah, he’s soo fucking into his self. Like, self…ish…You know? Did I just invent a word? Self-ish?
How it Really Happened…
Word Inventor: Hey, Thesaurus Guy, I’m making a word book; a dictionary.
Thesaurus Guy: Oh cool. Like my thesaurus book?
Word Inventor: Yeah, kind of… but with definitions to words ‘n’ stuff.
Thesaurus Guy: Tight.
Word Inventor: What is? Nevermind. Anyway, I need a word that means the opposite of considerate.
Thesaurus Guy: Oh, that’s easy. One antonym coming right up! Give me sec…
Word Inventor: Haha. You’re great. Thanks, dog.
Thesaurus Guy: Dog? Where? Who? Ok! I got it. How’s about selfish?
Word Inventor: Selfish? Ok, that sounds good. Hahahaha. I’ve never heard that word. It is a word, right?
Thesaurus Guy: It is now!
Thesaurus Guy and Word Inventor giggle like little girls for fifteen minutes at their newfound power.
