I coined a new word today

Posted on 01/12/2018 6:10:47 PM PST by Secret Agent Man

You know when people answer a question iffy and you cannot really tell if its a statement or another question? Like they answer but their ending has their voice going up slightly, and they aent exactly sure about their response?

Questment. They have just answered your question with a questment.

I’d say “questiment”.

But yeah, does kind of sound like a breath mint.

And you need a punctuation mark to go with it.

Something like ~?*

It took me years to figure out that my wife simply refuses to actually agree on anything. Anything at all.

Me: We could go out to eat. What would you like?
She: I don’t know. What would you like?
Me: Maybe Chinese?
She: Or how about Mexican?
Me: Sure. Mexican would be fine.
She: Or pizza?
Me: I like pizza. Let’s do pizza.
She: Have you heard about the new Thai place?
Me: Would you like to go to the Thai place?
She: You seem to want Chinese?
Me: I don’t care. I just want to go somewhere.
She: We could stay in?

Hate to break it to you, but you are a few years too late:

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=questment

“Act of asking a question and making a statement at the same time.”

That would explain almost everything that comes out of the mouths of these two dudes:

It’s how women think and communicate differently.

Women often compartmentalize their viewpoints and verbalize them this way.

Pay attention to these queues: I feel, I think, I want, I should. Men will rarely express conflicting statements prefaced this way, while women often do. They are expressing their inner conflict and are seeking your input.

For example, she might say she feels like eating out so she does not have to cook, but thinks it might be a bad idea because of traffic. She may want pizza, but probably should not because she’s eaten too much calorie-dense food lately and ought to get something more healthy.

Your job is to answer ALL of these. If you only answer one or two, it means you’re not listening or understanding her.

I absolutely hate women who speak with that inflexion at the end of every sentence that sounds like every statement is a question. It makes my teeth itch. When I hear a man do it I have an overwhelming urge for violence. I must say “questment” is awkward and does not flow right

Hmmm. I had no idea that an “urban dictionary” even existed. I suppose they assume new means urban.

New Word: Trumpify—To be changed by the policies of President Donald Trump. Use “Mary voted for Hillary but now she has been Trumpified.”

Isn’t your questment really a questswer?

You know, Retsyn was just cottonseed oil and a copper sulfide. New word indeed.
