Transending The English Language

[new-dictionary]

Welcome to New Dictionary!

This is a gimmick blog dedicated to expanding language, the average word in English has 2-3 synonyms, I'm here to increase that average and give you the words to finally express that really niche experience.

I will either post a word or a definition. If I post a word people are free to submit their definitions in the replies and reblogs and vice versa. You may use the askbox if you specify the word you are defining or the definition you are a word submitting for. You may also use the askbox to submit your own ideas to be added to the dictionary. Want to make a suggestion? The template is HERE.

All suggestions will be voted on in a public poll. Polls will be made after two weeks of definitions being live. Definitions can be fandom specific if you wish.

I will be making a document with all the new words and definitions.

Run by @deity-of-the-forgotten (I use they/them and ve/vir pronouns)

Definitions that humiliate minority groups (especially trans women fuck u terfs) will be deleted and blocked.

Live polls:

No live polls.

Live submissions:

Definition 1 (ends sep 20)

The dislike options will be combined. Challenges will be accepted should this percentage be greater than the people who agree.

Should dislike win overall, a second poll will commence with any submitted challengers. Should there be no challengers or the second poll also has wins for disliking all possible words/definition substitutions the word will not be added to the dictionary.

Relationshipbaiting

Thank you for your submission :)

In the future I’d advise people to clarify what the definition/word is because it won’t be uncommon for me to run multiple at the same time :)

1. Resterification

Etymology: from the prefix 're' and 'sterilise'

[new-dictionary]

There should be a word for when you really want to eat a food, and you can eat the food, except it's just an absolute chore to eat and you can't enjoy it.

Also love your blog

Thank you so much! It’s slowed down a bit lately because of my personal life but I’m trying to pick it back up again. I’ll add this one to the lot in a few days (I want to space out the polls a little)

Sometimes I wonder if I should say words or phrases because many of the definitions I get feel like they fit the phrase definition better.

yeah yeah queerbaiting is awful but what's the term for the thing they do to het ships where the characters get together in canon but then turn into such a cliche white picket fence married couple about it that it's worse than if the writers had just left it in the subtext
