Nerd Word of the Day: Aprilfooleryasphyxiation

april-foollery

Aprilfooleryasphyxiation: Feeling of asphyxiation one gets by too much April Foolery.

Due to the EXCESSIVE amount of April Fools jokes I have encountered today, I felt that this phenomenon demanded a word!

Thank you @whitetricycle for the suggestion! :-)

Posted from 30,000 feet.. so I might be a bit light-headed!

Other suggested words:  superaprililudification, hyperaprilioxegelis,  ApriliFried,  April-f’nanigans,  Hyp-aprilfoolian-ism,  April-Superfluousfoolsery and another favorite of mine –  hyperkalendsimbecility.

    Now this is a NerdWordOfTheDay that I can use in everyday talk. (Well, at least one day a year. :roll: )

  • http://twitter.com/Strabismus wordlover

    I know I’m probably the only one who hates this word. I’m NOT saying this out of jealousy!!! F’rinstance, the asphyxiation part is atrocious. Suffocation? WTF? Oh my sweet potatoes I’m gonna puke… :mad:

    OK :cool:

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    I know.. sorry wordlover! It struck me as cute. I added your words as runners up! Actually, I will look to you first in the future for these words!

  • http://twitter.com/Strabismus wordlover

    Compare my suggestions, if you will:
    superaprililudification from Latin super- (above, very) + aprili(s)- (April) + ludi- (play) + -fication (causative)
    hyperaprilioxegelism from Greek hyper- (above, excessive) + aprilio(s)- (April) + xegel(ō)- (to prank) + -ism(os) (conceptual/action marker)

    Oh well, can’t win ‘em all—or any of ‘em, in my case… :roll:

  • http://twitter.com/Strabismus wordlover

    Thanks. Please forgive my grouchiness. I’m voracious when it comes to editing and lexicography. I guess it’s linguist’s temper—if there is such a thing. But, I WILL grant you that the ones I designed are more arcane and probably wouldn’t be understood by the majority of your viewers. THAT’S the plus point Aprilfooleryasphyxiation has.

    Again, I’m sorry I’m so petulant with language issues… :oops:

    On second thought, maybe I was thinking TOO nerdy! :shock:

    Typical cruising altitude on a conventional airliner is between 25,000 feet and 40,000 feet. Lightheadedness is caused by the air in the Earth’s atmosphere which becomes consistently thinner as altitude increases. Read that somewhere on the internet.

    You did? But it’s just a coincidence that the video was made that high up ON April 1st. I mean, seriously. How much Aprilfooleryasphyxiation do you think goes on in airplanes when they’re in flight? :shock: Whoa! Not a good thought…

    @Marina, How is this classified as a Nerd word? When I was a techno-nerd, I or any of my fellow nerds ever used this word in Geekenese.

    @Student Body, Yes, Geekenese is a word. Well sort of. Well as much as “Aprilfooleryasphyxiation” could be.

    Geekenese (noun) : The language spoken by geeks or techno-nerds.
    The group of programmers were all speaking geekenese.

    by Ann Coulter

    04/01/2009

    Apparently, it’s OK for Obama to fire the head of General Motors, but Bush can’t fire his own U.S. attorneys.

    It is generally agreed that the Obama administration’s demand that Rick Wagoner resign as chairman of General Motors is the price of GM’s accepting government money.

    To promote the sales of GM vehicles, Obama says the government will stand by your GM car warranty. And all the taxpayers will get a lube job. The new GM owner’s manual will come with a disclaimer: “Close enough for government work.”…. :smile:

    Dear Marina,
    The word, “Aprilfooleryasphyxiation” sounds like you’re “all choked up” over April Fool’s jokes. The slang term “all choked up” has the meaning of being very sentimental. For example, I could get “all choked up” to know you’re safely back here in California with us. So, instead of being perjorative, the word could be something nice about April Fool’s day. :razz:
    Yesterday, Capman911 said you were adjusting your videos to teen level. So, will you dress like LA teenage girls this summer? That is, wear high-rise platform shoes with transparent bottoms, wear low-rise Daisy Duke short-shorts with thong underwear showing at the top, wear tiny halter tops held on by spagetti straps, wear only bright red lipstick, and wear all jewelry items made of oversized plastic? (Of course, you would look good wearing almost anything! :grin:
