pedantic

The nitpickery of the english language that drives the less detail oriented insane...often mistaken as a tool to impress others when in fact it is annoying

I love it when you dominate our conversations through critiquing my word usage and completely avoiding the central arguments, you pedantic fuck.

pedanticism

Pedanticism is a practised by people so focused on errors that they sometimes end up missing the errors of their own.

Pendanticism is related to perfectionism in the fashion that the individual practicing this form of perfectionism always are experiencing the need to correct 'faults' until absolute 'perfection'.

If this person spots an error, they have to correct it, even if it would be deemed unneccessary by other individuals.

Sometimes the error they feel the urge to correct the errors that are not even there. This often leads to conflicts, where a more immature person might start peckering even further about inexistant errors.

Pedanticist:
OMG, nub u liek cnat spell! Taht word isnt spelld liek that!!

Victim for unmotivated correction:
Before you start peckering me with your inexistant errors, perhaps you should take a look at your own pedanticist-behaviours.

There are definitive downsides of pedanticism, as you can see.

bendantic

2. To be a male with any name that enjoys crossing their legs when the sit (girl style), has a strange fetish for cats, and uses really big words, thinking that it will impress women. Also, this person likes to swear at inanimate objects, such as sandwich meat and stairs, calling them mean, inappropriate names.

3. Derived from the word "pendantic"

1. "Dude you are so bendantic, rockin' that plaid shirt and leather sketchers"

2. "Why do you you cross your legs and like cats so much? Did you just swear at my door? You are soooooo bendantic."

pentastic

Holding back a build up of emotion and then just going forward and leaping into the unknown. The euphoria that creates a pentasm, like many feelings at once hitting you in the face .

The spark in the moment right before you do something for the first time.

Awesomeness.

"Although I haven't said anything to her about it, I think Jules might be the light of my life; It'll definitely be pentastic if I try to tell her though."

"I never tried painting before, but as soon as I grabbed the brush it was pentastic ."

Tendie-pendants

Individuals, usually older able-bodied teenagers or young adults, who live at home with their parents or family in a household without contributing financially or socio-economically in any form. Synonymous with terms such as "neckbeard" or "manchildren," tendie-pedendants rely solely on their family members for room-and-board, food, and decisions for their well-being. Most often they live at their Mother’s home and constantly demand their favorite food, “tendies,” (chicken tenders) in exchange for “good boy points" used in turn as disposable income.

Our Counterstrike: Global Offensive Team might be short two players tonight, Michael and Nicholas are Tendie-pendants who do not have enough good boy points to play tonight.

pedanticism

The incorrect word for pedantry. Used by ignorant people trying to sound smart by putting an "-ism" at the end of any word to make it a noun.

"Enough with the pedanticism and let us eat."
"The word is pedantry."

pedantic

Ostentatious regarding one's intelligence. Using this word also makes you this word.

Bob: I find the professor's voice mellifluous and her logic trenchant, even if a bit pedantic.

Jim: I find YOU a bit pedantic.
