Vocabubad

To lose most of the words in one's vocabulary and / or the ability to form real sentences for a few days following an MDMA binge; the mental equivalent of the physical damage caused by hangovers; the results of a brilliant night out.

"How was Hype last night?"

"Good, man, he was erm, I did the thing.."

"There's no point asking Tom, he's got a serious case of the vocabubads."

tiktok vocabulary

Cringe words and phrases that stemmed from the TikTok app such as "no❤️", it's the _______ for me, these comments did not pass the vibe check, and words surrounded by an "✨" emoji on both sides to signify emphasis. Phrases like this

vocabulary hijacking

Choosing a word because it evokes a specific emotion rather than because it is accurate.

After 9/11 the word "terrorism" became a much more emotional term for Americans than before, when it was equally deplorable yet much more theoretical in most people's minds (i.e. something that happens elsewhere). Consequently, politically active people engaged in vocabulary hijacking by applying the term "terrorist" to their opponent's activities (e.g. environmental "terrorists", government-sponsored "terrorists", anti-choice "terrorists").

prison vocabulary

A vocabulary that includes obscure polysyllabic words that are often used incorrectly and/or out of their proper context. Specifically with people who don’t have the elloquence or articulate speech to match it.
Named so, because it was first observed with Mike Tyson after he finished a prison sentence for rape. One could imagine him sitting in his jail cell with nothing to do but read his dictionary.

From Tv: Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

Martha: Did he just use the words impetuous and Impregnable
Lucius: Thats his prison vocabulary

vocabularista

Someone who knows all of the words, never play against them in Scrabble, a word nerd. LIkely they know their grammar, too.

She's a total vocabularista, I swear I have to go to the dictionary every time I talk to her, but she's not making them up, they're in there, every last weird sounding word that I've never hear of before.
