Made up words....
Have a look at this webcomic update: http://www.xkcd.com/483 .
I haven't read a single prequel and can't remember anything specific from the sequels. But the graph seems to indicate that the new Dune books have a ton of made up words.

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Well, I'm not so sure it's made up now because I just googled it and google didn't correct my spelling, but it was not in Microsoft Word's dictionary, or the hard copy dictionary I have around.Freakzilla wrote:What's the word?A Thing of Eternity wrote: I just handed in an essay with a made up word.

The word is positivity. I thought that since negativity is a word, positivity should be one too.
Now I'm dissapointed that my word probably isn't made up... I'm going to have to try harder at this!

Sorry, Sloey, but I attended their one and only ever show in Columbus in '81.
The opening band was Phil Dirt and the Dozers.

I'm confused, I thought QTF meant "go get a quote to prove you're telling the truth"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=qft
1. Used on internet forums when quoting someone with similar views as yours.
2. Generaly used on internet forumafter quoting someone to make sure they cannot go back and change what they've already posted. Sometimes used to express you agree with the opinion. "QFT, brutha." is different from "QFT you fucking bitch!"
