Ingeborg S. Nordén's definitions

AC/DC

A hard-rock band from the 1970s. Subject of many rumors related to Satanism, partly because of their song titles (e.g., Highway to Hell) and partly because of their name (wrongly believed to stand for "AntiChrist, Devil's Child").

Actually, I've heard that AC/DC took the name from a label on one member's vacuum cleaner.

hugry

A blend of hug and hungry, describing a desire/need to be hugged.

Watching scary movies makes me hugry.
If I feel hugry enough, I sometimes grab the nearest pillow and give it a squeeze.

arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.

Comfy

An informal shortening of comfortable. It often implies casual, friendly comfort: an adult wouldn't normally call a seat on the city bus "comfy", but he might describe his favorite chair that way.

Karin's guest bedroom was so comfy that her friends joked about being spoiled rotten whenever they stayed overnight.

awww

Used to express a sentimental reaction to warm fuzzy experiences. (The number of W's at the end is arbitrary, but at least two or three normally occur in this word.)
