Give it time.

I've invented a word.

I'm so sure I invented "Ginormous", but I remain uncredited.

So this is my notarized letter to myself:

Fanchastic.

I heard that word for the first time in freshman year, in the context of "Do you like ginormous cock?" That question was asked by a gay guy to straight guy.

[jonsalmon]

I can't answer for how people use it. Should the person who invented gun powder be blamed for all of World War II? I invented it in eighth grade, plenty of time for it to make it to California by your freshman year.

[shakinlikeatree]

I said that once in elementary or middle school, I'm sure.

[jonsalmon]

Inability to pronounce the word doesn't count.

[shakinlikeatree]

unless yours sounds like gin(liquor)-normous and not jai(rhymes with guy)-normous=, I'm pretty sure I got it right. But hey, we grew up in the same area, maybe I somehow got it from you.

[jonsalmon]

Oh, ok. Well, maybe not. This is why I'm copyrighting fanchastic... so I won't have to wonder anymore.

[perihelia]

I've used this word before. Perhaps there's some sort of time rift such that you just created the word now and then disseminated it into the past.

[jonsalmon]

That's clearly the only explanation.

Oh, come on! I was using that in elementary school, way before Texas. Gigantic plus enormous - every schoolkid must stumble upon this. Consider:

Ridiculous
Ridongulous
Ricockulous
Ripenisculous (this one's mine, it'll catch on some day)

so uh... I don't see anyone posting on last night's Entourage episode.

They use this very word and even call into question its legitimacy as a word. Infringement indeed...

I knew it would travel fast.
