    Everybody uses some slang and some people even create words. Some words that I found have been used a lot but don't actually exist would include:

    - funnest
    - brang
    - irregardless

    I don't just mean stuff like "lol" but actual 'words' that people believe really exist but don't.

    Just bored I guess. Check out this site: Phobia List and take a look at all of those phobias!

    Here is an excerpt...

    Sharing my boredom with you guys - I wonder if those are all real dictionary words or just "Internet words" - heh.

    The "Internet dictionary" but even a real dictionary, I think would say that it's a "nonstandard" because it doesn't actually make sense if you disect what it is meant to be - a combination of irrespective and regardless.

    Even if it's in a dictionary, it's not really a word, why? Maybe because MS Word doesn't think it is! BAM!

    Read this: Is Irregardless a Word? - just a little on the comic side. :p
