NEW WORDS by Ifeanyi KOH

In my opinion, words such as 'IMPOSSIBILITY' and 'IMPOSSIBLE' should be expunged from the English Dictionary. They don't exist in the real sense!

Mind you, which of these new words by yours truly do you deem fit as a worthy replacement for the afore mentioned words:
1. Netpal /'netpal/ n formal
someone you met and made friend with on the internet.
Who's that you're chatting with? C'mon dear, she's just my netpal.

2. Chinkowood /'tsinkowud/ n informal
any film of chinese making.
Jackie Chan is my favourite Chinkowood actor!

Here are some other sound-words by some anonymous individuals. They should be considered too.

* Mtchew /no transcription/ disapproving
the spelling of the sound that sb makes when he/she supposedly hisses. I hate beans, mtchew!

* Qi qi qi qi... /khi:khi:khi:khi:/ n
the sound that some people make when they are laughing. This they do by intermittently forcing air through a little space between the tongue and upper part of the mouth.
Qi qi qi qi... qi qi qi qi... Mr. Bean won't kill me with laughter -he's just too funny!

You can add yours...
