It's the part of the ice cream that gets weird when you leave the container out on the counter and then refreeze it.<br /><br />Usage: "Hey, mom, can you give Luke the froddity?

The first is "qua-nong" (alternately spelled "cue-nong"). It's derived from the sound effect that occurs when something dramatic or surprising occurs on classic episodes of Star Trek. Our current usage:<br /><br />"The bathroom door wasn't locked, and I ended up walking in on someone!"<br />"Qua-nong!"<br /><br />The other word is kirchkening, which is meant to represent teeth chattering.<br /><br />Usage:<br /><br />"Wow, it's kirchkening in here. Turn up the heat!"<br /><br />OR<br /><br />"I almost got into a car accident this afternoon!"<br />"Yikes!

I even put them in urbandictionary, because I'm that big of a nerd. To my way of thinking a fictzophrenic is a person who hears the voices of their characters and then writes about them. In other words, a writer of fiction. <br /><br />However, I also think douchewaffle is a great word.R.S.
