New Glish
I just want to add a new word to our collective lexicons: "nutsest". And I'm doing it in this forum because I think slang has rendered the traditional tenets of the English language a bit archaic.
For instance, if a woman is more pretty than other pretty women, then we say she is the prettiest of the group, right?
If weirdo is more starnge than other screwballs, we say he's the strangest.
Well Gee was just tellin me about one of the new episodes of MTV Cribs, with one of the N'Sync dudes. Apparently he a bunch of features and aspects of the crib that were nuts. So I wanted to ask him what was the most nuts part of the crib. Now, English rules would force me to ask, "What's the nuttiest part of the crub."
But, see, nuttiest doesn't articulate, AT ALL, what I'm trying to get at by asking the question. I don't wanna know what was the cookiest part of the crib, I want to know what's the dopest/most extravagant/ridiculous part of the crib.
And I'm glish-gangsta. I take liberties in that way. So I used "nutsest"...and Gee rode with it like a rider.
You can also say "ridiculousest", "seriousest", "gangsta'est"...New Yorkers are fond of saying things are "nervous", so they can "nervousest".
You have permission. Run wild with it.
