Filler word

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 1: What's a black hole?
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.

trump word

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.
"He's a very terrific guy, so terrific, in fact I owe a lot to him."

"1) He very highly regards himself

2) Dude, very is a trump word"

The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.” - Donald Trump

Compound 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.
