Nerd Word of the Day: Ridonkulous

ridonkulousRidonkulous: adj. An exaggerated form of ridiculous. Most likely a blending of ridiculous and donkey.

What’s ridonkulous is that, while researching this word, I found SO many misspellings of the word ridiculous.. people were spelling it rediculous!   That’s rigoshdarneddiculous!

Thank you @animalntaz for the suggestion!

    Ride On Donkulous is a low budget feature about a boy who dreamt he was transported back into time through a series of events. When he awakens from his slumber he finds that he is in prehistoric time (dinosaur age) There he meets with a friendly herbivore, a Brachiosaurus, whom he soon befriends and names Donkulous

    The young boy is unable to recall what his name is so he sits down on a rock and assumes the position of the “Thinking Man” with Donkulous by his side. Soon the boy snaps out of his lingusitic haze and remembers that his name is Forester

    “Donkulous!” cried the boy. “Now I remember my name, oh Donkulous!” and the young Brachiosaurus raised his head and looked at the boy fondly and they hugged. “My name is Forester, I lived in Plains Michigan before a series of events plummeted me into this dimension.” Donkulous appeared to understand what the young boy was saying and both were very happy.

    Dear Marina,
    I’m glad you’re back home in California, and I hope today’s interview with Playboy went well. :grin:
    So, did Playboy ask if you will appear for a centerfold photo sesswion? I understand they pay very well for such shoots, and it would give you world-wide publicity. I hope you don’t choose to do such photos. You are earning money in other ways, and you are charming enough in your videos and in the photos on twitter and on your wewbsite. :grin:
    I received your book yesterday and enjoyed it very much! It had the same list price as your calendar, but it’s a better buy because there’s eighty photos, instead of just twelve in the calendar. (Don’t be “ridonkulous!” Of course, I bought the book in order to read the articles!) :razz:
    I hope your book becomes such a great bestseller, they ask you to do another book very soon! :razz:

    With the weird excitement of events Forester suddenly becomes sleepy and wants to take a nap but where(?) “Arf!” What is wrong Donkulous??? “Arf!” “Arf!” as if to say don’t you take a nap here or a sabertoothed tiger will appear from out of the woods and eat you up.

    I just found out that when you click on the usernames, it just goes to a page of their recent comments instead their linked site. When did that happen?

  • greatestpotential

    “There are women here(?)” Donkulous grinned “Where(?)” “Ovah yer showldah buddy” “Oh, Donkulous, you can talk!” and the two hugged again. Donkulous’s eyes glowed a deep lazer red like those robots eyes do from the Terminator movies.

    My dear teacher, I saw the word used in a tv show, the big bang theory, raj said that to penny when going out for an award of some sort, he was hoping to see penny wearing something more “Ridonkulous” I suppose he meant something more revealing, or maybe it was just me but the word was used then too. The episode was “the grifin….” something.

    Hi animalntaz,
    Marina commented about it a few weeks ago mentioning that the paged comments prevented Google from giving this site a higher ranking. A plug-in restores the ability to have the search engines give a better rating to this site.

    As you said, clicking on a username shows a page of recent comments for that user. When you click on the gravatar though, that is when you will see the user’s web site if they added one in their profile page, or if they left the website entry blank, then it will take you to the gravatar.com site.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/capman911 Capman911

    Thanks PK, again you saved the day. Here I have been bitching about having Marina change back the way the users name took you to our personal web site only to learn now why it’s done this way.

    Hello Teacher

    My friends and I have been using the word recockulous to exagerate ridiculous. I think it came out of “dic” in ridiculous. I have heard it used in other places in Toronto Canada, but I don’t think it has become a general usage.

    Have you ever heard someone say recockulous?

    Shame on you Marina, Shame on you.
    I was just on PedanticKarl’s YT – channel.
    And its is dedicated to you. But your not listed a friend, not even as a subscriber.
    How could you?

  • Rijk

    : ) (my little yeah with the pumpkins gets messed up in the edit function and i can’t fix it)
    hope the translation does it justice, some of the words can be translated in other words.

  • Rijk

    LOL :mrgreen:
    If you guys only knew what the little fellow said.

  • Rijk

    reads every comment and she considers every comment of great importance, no matter how critical .

    We are gonna find out if this is true.
    For I was critical again
    Lets see what happens. There are three possibilities.
    - nothing happens
    - I get a response
    - you get a new friend on your YT-channel

    or a combination of them.

    : )

  • http://wired.reddit.com/sexygeeks_2008/?s=top pedanticKarl

    Hey Rijk,
    Don’t blame Marina. The reason Marina is not listed as a Friend is because I never made a Friend request.

    Now, you might say, why did Marina not initiate a Friend request and why is she not a subscriber? As you stated, my channel is dedicated to Marina, and I explicitly said, “Don’t subscribe to my channel. Subscribe to Marina’s website instead. ” Look at my YT profile again. Now, why would Marina subscribe to herself? :smile:

    Also, I don’t expect Marina to subscribe to me or anyone else just for the sake of subscribing unless she wanted to. Marina has a mind of her own. Don’t mess with it. :mrgreen:

  • Rijk

    if I were her, I would do it as a sign of appreciation.
    I will mess with it, gonna nudge you a new friend. :mrgreen:

    In colloquial speech, Israelis use the term Bet knesset (assembly house). Jews of Ashkenazi descent have traditionally used the Yiddish term “shul” (cognate with the German schule, school) in everyday speech. Spanish and Portuguese Jews calles the synagogue an esnoga. :arrow: Persian Jews and Karaite Jews use the term Kenesa, which is derived from Aramaic, and some Arabic-speaking Jews use knis. Some Reform and Conservative Jews use the word “temple”.

    Uh, yeah. I saw “Most likely a blending of ridiculous and donkey” and thought “what?”. Then I specifically searched the comments to see if anyone else (like you) was on the same page as me.

    I always thought the ‘dic’ (dick) was replaced with “dong” (another term for penis–which perhaps derives from donkey…?), which sounds like “donk” when pronounced within the context of the whole word (and thus should probably be written without the g). In the same vein, I have totally heard ricockulous numerous times. (I live in Washington state, USA, decently far from Toronto)

    Hahaha, I love how you said not to mess with her mind.
    To me it came across as a warning… mess with it at your own risk. :-)
    I know Marina’s policy on courtesy Following, so I think it would apply to YT as well.
    By the way, everybody knows PK doesn’t do this to get attention from Marina, he does this for the love of it.(where’s not love, there’s nothing)
    If you replace the word people with Marina, in the next quote, I think we find a clue towards the meaning of PK’s channel:
    “…of the people, by the people, for the people!”

    That reminds of the time when a kid committed suicide because his best friend removed him from myspace top friends.

    I don’t think it’s a mix between donkey and ridiculous. I think it is a replacement of the second syllable, which sounds like a word, and replacing it with another word that has the same meaning: ie “dick” and “dong.” However, due to phoenetics, the “g” sound in the word was replaced by a “k” sound, because I don’t think there are many words in the English language that have a hard g followed by a vowel.

  • Emberzzz

    not ridiculous and donkey, but ridiculous and dong – replacing the “dic” sound in ri·dic·u·lous with “dong”
