vocabolisher

One who shortens and/or alters words in conversational mode, not so much out of laziness, but moreso to feel cool and to stand out from the crowd. The most popular vocabolishing method is shortening words to one syllable, often times adding an "s" to the end of the new word. However, in rare cases, sometimes a syllable is added to a word in order to make it sound more trendy. Unbeknownst to these "hip" vocabolishers, everyone around them is usually severely annoyed and wishes that they would just finish out the syllables or just hush up. This method is most widely practiced in the western portion of the United States but is slowly taking over the lips of youth everywhere.
Some examples of vocabolisher usage are as follows: possible = poss, definitely = def, deodorant = deodes, hell = hella, maybe = mabes, water = wats, Guatemala = Guats, whatever happens = whatever haps, Empire State Building = Emps (yes, it has been known to go this far)

I broke up with my last boyfriend because he was one of those vocabolisher people who couldn't finish what he started, and I'm not only talking about words.

Vocabubabble

Verb- What results when a person attempts to use as many large words in a statement with the intent of sounding more intelligent than he/she really is. Often paired with a thesaurus, Google, or Wikipedia, as well as a large amount of personal insecurity.

Words used in such a manner are often incorrect, and wielded most commonly by people in the 16-20 age bracket, as well as graduate students.

"The line between morality and legality is blurred in such extreme cases. People who commit acts of pedophilia now would continue to do so with no legal measures to discourage that, and vice versa. Legislating morality that isn't so clear-cut is a definite path to controversy and the institutionalization and coercion of our subjectivity. Whereas murder is a concept to which the vast majority of people are opposed, consensual sex between minor and adult is not a biological manifestation. I don't feel we would have significantly higher rates of pedophilia or other societally reprehensible practices; and, if we did, it would be willful; most importantly, it would displace the onus of responsibility from the government to the parent, which is more empowering and encourages active, instructive, and beneficial parenting (while also reducing the power of the state--always a good thing)."
