Mendageous

Pronunciation: mend ayj us

Sentence: Grandma Gilda had always been a mendageous type of person. Her true age was never known...she'd been twentynining it for as long as we could recall. Although offered senior's discounts at shops, she was indignant that people would think she was really that old. She took care of herself and acted young, but let's be honest, Mother Nature and Father Time exact their toll on us all. And it did not help that she told us stories of the War and the Great Depression. When Gilda turned 75, we had a big party for her in a local licensed restaurant. Her best gift by far was having the waiter card her...unbeknownst to her that we'd paid him twenty bucks to make a fuss of requiring proof of age. She was thrilled!

I predict that the number of votes my word gets today will be directly proportional to the average age of the players of this game. I also predict that because of this reference, everyone will mistake me for someone my father's age (wouldn't be the first time). - ErWenn, 2007-05-29: 13:44:00

I tried to stop my age from increasing when I turned 25, but I was only able to keep it up for a year. - ErWenn, 2007-05-29: 13:45:00

Well, the one difficulty is that this word only works one way (i.e. older pretending younger) whereas ostensibly the word ought to be able to apply both ways. That'll skew your prediction, since even those of us who get the reference might not vote for it because we're being sticklers... - Scattercat, 2007-05-29: 14:09:00

Appropriage

Created by: Filthy

Pronunciation: ə-ˈprō-prē-'āj

Sentence: Shirley took umbrage at the bartender's accusation of appropriage.

Etymology: Appropriage= appropriate (to take or make use of without authority or right AND/OR especially suitable or compatible) + age (an individual's development measured in years). Often mistakenly affixed with the prefix 'in-', the word 'appropriage' makes use of two distinct meanings of its first root word ('appropriate'). Specifically, the person committing the offense of appropriage is appropriating the rights and privileges afforded to someone of a different age; they are thus also pretending that their behavior is age-appropriate. The term has its origins in law enforcement slang. It was used to refer to an attempt at entry into adult establishments while under the legal age for entry, or into high school events by someone exceeding the socially appropriate age-range. The term only extended into the vernacular after suburbanite parents started to apply the law enforcement slang to refer to adults lying about their age for reasons of vanity. Purists insist on applying the original slang meanings, but lying about one's age for any reason has come to be an acceptable use of 'appropriage'.

Is it just coincidental or is Edna Sky's name an anagram for ask deny

Hey Texmom, Thanks for the positive feeback! ~ James

LOVELY word, misagery...intuitive,impeccable etymology, and unlike my word, mercifully brief.
