Malliteracy

A condition in which someone consistently writes words and phrases incorrectly; distinct from Illiteracy in that a malliterate person can read and write but simply gets words and phrases wrong.

Malliteracy usually occurs when a person writes words and phrases he or she has only heard but never read, such as:

1. Alot (instead of "a lot.")
2. Alright (instead of "all right.")
3. One in the same (instead of "one and the same.")
4. Pacifically (instead of, "specifically.")
5. Dominate (used as an adjective instead of "dominant.")
6. Volumptuous (instead of "voluptuous.")

(As an aside, if you read an online dating profile from a woman and she uses both of those last two words in the same profile, the odds are extremely high that she's under 5'5" tall and weighs over 300 lbs)

I had a hell of a time trying to read my friend's email, because his malliteracy made it almost impossible to figure out which words he was trying to use.

Flumper

This word is a portmanteau of 'flabby' and 'dumper'. A flumper generally occurs when an obese person loses most of the excess weight, but the posterior retains its obesity, resulting in an average or even slim individual with a backside that sags grotesquely.

"She was damn hot when she was walking toward us, but after she passed by, I looked over my shoulder and saw she had a terrible flumper."
