craptastic, craptacular, etc.: adj. for anything so terrible it's entertaining...

and from the Critic...
Fanticrap: a combination of crap and fantasy

[J m HofMarN]

I LOVED THE CRITIC! That and Doctor Katz professional therapist.

I think the exact quote you're thinking is "I dubbed it fantacrap"

[Chyld]

Isn't a squig a part of a ship?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is it? My definition involved a large bouncing mushroom-based creature bred by Night Goblins as hunting beasts...

[Vwing]

Fantacrap was great, I'm so upset they took the Critic off the air, that was a really good show. Also I think JM is right in the spelling of it, barend spelled it Fanticrap, JM spelled it Fantacrap. I'm going with Fantacrap, cause fantasy with crap, there's no i anywhere in there. Can I get a second opinion on this?

[J m HofMarN]

Chyld- I think it is... maybe I'm thinking of a Jig... I never heard of your definition but I dont do many video games anymore.

VWing- I'm pretty sure it is as well, that's how I heard it pronounced at least.

[Jane Sherwood]

Most of what I like to say are completely normal words, but for some reason I seem to be the only person who uses them (at least in regards to the people I'm around on a daily basis)...and I'm very fond of things like "bloody" and "piss-poor"...

Brilliant - I never hear anyone around me say this. At all. I once said this to someone and their response was basically "This is the South, nobody says 'brilliant!'" I use this for everything I like. Repeatedly.
Eh - Usually accompanied by a head-tilt and arched eyebrow.
Smeg - I've been saying this ever since I first started watching Red Dwarf.
Utter(ly) - Usually said twice for further effect.
Mad - At some point, I started saying this all the time instead of crazy, nuts, or other words like that. I blame the Cheshire Cat and Mad Hatter.
Shpadoinkle - Do I really need to explain?
But still! - I like saying this when I go off about something, suddenly change my tone and/or thought on the topic, then rush back to it.
Woot/wootage/woo-tage/Huzzah and woot! - Several variations of one celebratory exclamation.
Nifty/niftiness/Of The Nifty - I've been saying this every since I started reading Sluggy Freelance.
Random/randomness - Where would I be without it?
Muchly - Just because.
Effulgent - I don't actually use it, but the rampant fangirl in me just won't let it go (any Spike fan will understand this).

And a couple things I made up:

Secominute - Kind of like saying "just a second" or "just a minute," only somewhere in-between.
Miracle of Miracles, Nightmare of Nightmares - That means I'm not sure if it's a very good thing or a very bad thing, or it’s something really bad that wasn't likely to happen. So far I've only actually used it once, but I really like how it sounds.

I'll add more later if I can think of them.

Like I said, hurray for british explatives!

w00t is actually old EQ slang, short for wonderful loot. It's kinda just become an apprasing interjection like gnarly, awesome, radical, etc...

[Jane Sherwood]

Ohhhhhhh...so that's where it's from! I was wondering about that!

[J m HofMarN]

I never knew Woot originated there either. Thanks for that delectable tidbit. On an interesting note, this is merely the first phase of this project. Phase two will occur when this second page of posts is filled.

I do have a few catch phrases
Puffins/Puffins are Supreme Because, let's face it, they just are
Chips are Good...I like Chips I used to say this all the time whenever there was an awkward silence
Only on Tuesdays I usually use this as an answer to a question to which it doesn't make sense. Say its Friday, and somebody asks 'do you always talk like that'. It's funny to watch their exp​ressions.
Phrasz/Ptaa/Orange words of no meaning that I say at random intervals to annoy people. Well, orange has two meanings, but I don't use it to mean either of them.
Bah! My way of dismissing something that I don't like
Meyh Similar to Bah! but less angry, more bored/I don't care.

I think that's it for now. As a matter of interest to Jane's use of Smeg. My friend had a RD shirt that says "In space, no-one can hear you smeg". I found it to be absolutly disgusting.

As the obligatory retaliation to Sime's comments on puffins:

LEMURS, GODDAMMIT! - I still say lemurs are better.

Also:

BFK - It's my Big Fucking Knife!
Wibble - For lack of anything better to say.
BOX! - I type this in the largest available font and "scream" it every time there's a lull in the conversation when I'm IMing one of my friends. She cracks up every time.

*Content Warning*
My friend has the best thing to say when the conversation just comes to a halt. He'll get this really excited look on his face and say "So I was balls deep in this 12 year old..." We all know he's messing aroung, but it's quite funny to see people who aren't sure if he's serious or not.

And Jane, would wibble be in reference to Blackadder Goes Fourth?

[Chyld]

Lets add another few to my list:

Graham: My knife of choice. A standard kitchen knife my mum gave me for the remarkable lack of large amount of heavy cooking I'd be doing in a catered hall of residence...

Indeed: The standard "conversation filler" for when someone says something, in RL or over MSN, that I cannot be arsed to think of a proper answer for.

Toy Soldiars: Not a term I use, but its what my roommate keeps referring to my wargaming minatures as. I've threatened Graham on him, but still he doesn't take them seriously.

Snakebite: 45% lager, 45% cider, 10% blackcurrent squash/cordial/concentrate (delete as you call it). My standard pint of choice.

Night of the Beans: A ritual I created on another forum, where every sentence uttered must incorporate the word "bean" or "beans". The more inappropriate the better. I was quoting a Garfield cartoon when it started...

Peebles (noun): An invention of a ladyfriend of mine, little geometric-shaped creatures with antenna and smily faces.

Peebles (general): A word used by said friend, calcualted to send me into giggles when I'm heavily stoned...

My mate from Holland, however, has an entire colloquial vocabulary of his own...

And Jane, would wibble be in reference to Blackadder Goes Fourth?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Indeed it would be. Only I don't do the underwear and pencils thing.

For some time I would use the word "crazy!" to describe something that was insanely wonderful. Only the proper intonation must be used to indicate the positive nature of the word. I still use it from time to time. Also, trabies is the name of a disease that I invented during one amusing Psychology class, so on occasion, lulls in conversation are broken up by my saying, "I have trabies" in a Gollum voice. Or sometimes I just make my eyes go funny and ask "Do you think I'm weeeeiiiiird????", also in a Gollum voice of course.
