English words that defy description – NSFW

In every language there seems to be some words that defy description beyond being just plain goofy. Here are some of the goofy words of the English language that I like with some definitional and spelling help from the Urban Dictionary, though the list is nearly endless and expanding all the time.

• bass-ackwards – a nicer way of saying ass backwards
• cadiwompus – not quite right or ass backwards
• diddlysquat – do not give a shit or don’t care
• dohickey – same as a whatchamacallit or a thingamabob
• dorkshit – an idiot
• dweeb – a nerd
• kitty-corner and catty-corner – diagonally opposite you (how felines got into this equation is beyond me)
• perdiddle – car with one headlight out
• pondscum– someone who does not respect women or a lowlife
• scrumpdilicious – thank you Dairy Queen for this one meaning “yummy”
• thingamabob – an item whose name you cannot recall
• thingamajig – same as above
• turdbrain – same as birdbrain, only more assertive
• whatchamacallit– when you don’t know the name of something and a name of a candy bar
• whippersnapper – a young know it all
• whosawhatsit – when you can’t recall an item or someone’s name
