A word used to make up for gaps in conversation, when the speaker is not certain what they want to say next. Can be very annoying if used excessively.
Prime examples include: er, um, erm, and uh

Person 2: Black holes are...um...they're uh...black holes, they...erm...er...
Person 1: You have no fucking clue, do you? You're just using filler words now.

Use of intensifiers such as - but not limited - to: 'very', 'so', 'big league' and 'much' in a way
that they could be removed and keep the sentence meaning intact. Superfluous use of intensifiers.

Look up any word: (search bar) any word

Combination of two words, where the first letter(s) of the first word is joined with the second word minus it's first letter(s). Based on the "Portmanteau".
Subject to rules/preferences.
1) If the first word starts with a vowel, a compound word is not possible.
2) The user can include only the first letter of the first word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the first word.
Ex. Street + Nuts = Suts, Stuts, or Struts.
3) The user can include only the first letter of the second word, or a string of letters leading up to the first vowel of the second word.
Ex. Super + Glue = Sue, or Slue.
There are two main mutually exclusive categories.
A "Prodrome" is itself an existing word, but by sound, not spelling.
Ex. Tall + Boy = Toy.
Ex. Man + Juice = Muice (sounds like Moose, therefore a Prodrome).
Ex. Cell + Phone = Cone (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced with a soft "C", therefore not a Prodrome).
A "Callidrome" is itself not an existing word by sound, spelling is irrelevant.
Ex. Fucking + Cunt = Funt.
Ex. Small + Pear = Sear (a word by spelling, but not when pronounced to rhyme with pear, therefore a Callidrome).
There are 3 sub-categories, not necessarily mutually exclusive of each other.
A "Synondrome" sounds identical to the second word.
Ex. Dirty + Dick = Dick.
An "Antidrome" sounds identical to the first word.
Ex. Cock + Block = Cock.
A "Collidodrome" keeps the entire second word.
Ex. Fat + Ass = Fass.

These are trendy words and terms used by clueless corporate fatcats. These BMW driving morons are lost and scared when walking through a manufacturing facility alone. They are normally in small groups. The only words they say are "ISO, synergy, delight customers, world class blah, blah, blah.., global, just in time, black belt, six sigma, you get the picture."
"I can't believe that Ben asshole. He comes in at 10:00, says a few buzz words, surfs the net, goes to lunch, comes back at 2:00, makes a phone call, schedules a meeting, says a few more buzz words, takes a horrendous stinking shit, surfs the net again and then goes golfing."
