ridonculous

Adj. A situation or circumstance that is jack-ass stupid, inane, or frivolous in the extreme.

"Christopher was late because he set his wake-up alarm on his cell phone, but then shut his phone off before he went to bed to save his battery power; it's this type of ridonculous behavior that makes Christopher totally unreliable."

NOTE: This word is an amalgam of "ridiculous" and "donkey" (a.k.a. "jack-ass" in the pejorative sense), and implies that human idiocy or stupidity adds to or magnifies a situation or circumstance's quality of being "ridiculous" on its own.

ridonculous

In the election of 2000 I was reading the paper one morning in early December and read something about how they hadn't counted all the ballots yet in Florida and I simply said out loud, "That is ridiculous. That is so ridiculous, it's ridonculous!" This, I believe, is the first time anyone ever used the word, to the best of my knowledge. It has spread like disease, though. I do think, however, we need to try and not overuse it. Some things are still simply ridiculous, not wholly ridonculous.

"You're an iron-clad beast-like machine with jaws of steel."
"I am not."
"Then you're Michael Jackson."
"OK, now that's just ridiculous."
"OK, then you're rhinocerous-like triceratops."
"THAT is riDONCulous!"

ridonculous

Adj. If something is so completely profound and out of line that the word ridiculous is an understatement, it is at this time that you use the word reDONculous. Usually the word is used, followed after obscene and ludicrous statements or comments. It can also be a positive attribute to add extreme emphasis.
