Neologisms!

by AndyC on Feb.01, 2007, under Language

That’s “newly coined words” to the rest of you!

I added a couple of new phrases to my vocabulary today.  The first  is “Business-Provocative”, from The Ridiculous Business Jargon Dictionary.

Business-provocative [adj.] Work attire that is sexy to the point of being inappropriate. “I see Kim has decided that the dress code for today is business-provocative.”

And the second is gaysted, describing a state of inebriation sufficient to do something that would normally be considered gay (from www.kottke.org).  This is a portmanteau of “gay” and “wasted”.
