Future wife- if you're reading this, I do not love you the same way I love cookies. Although it's close, one of you has the edge.
You know, the Ancient Greeks were very forward thinking.* As you may already know, they were smart enough to come up with different words for love: Agape, Eros, Storge, and a couple other ones that sound like types of wine. Pretty smart I'd say.
But they also drank a lot of lead, didn't have bubble gum, and thought the sun was brought into the sky every day by a guy flying around in a chariot pulled by fire horses. So I thought I'd do everyone a favor and bring some specificity to loving things by coming up with some new words we can use when we love stuff.
Here's a starting point:
Ruv - A word to use when you love your pet. I figure we might as well use the commonly accepted "cartoon dog" way of speaking here. As in: "I ruv you Poocher McBarksy"
P'ove - When food is really good, and you love it. Everyone loves pizza, and I always appreciated Pizza Hut's name for the failed lunch treat the "P'zzone". Might as well combine "pizza" and "love" to form a word that means a love of food. As in: "I p'ove this toast!"
Not enough of us p'oved the P'zone. |
Dee-Eh - The way a parent loves their child. Mostly because we're genetically inclined and narcissistic enough to unconditionally love something that possesses half of our DNA. Hence half of "DNA". As in: "Judy, I'm only overlooking the fact that you failed all of your classes, lit the car on fire, called Grandma "a baboon" and still refuse to get your mother a birthday card because I dee-eh you."
Entertain-O - Conversely, as the provider of television and video games/internet, children love their parents. As in: "Gimmie Sponge-Bob and in exchange you will have my entertain-O"
Boobz - For all the bros out there, so they can express just how hot they think their babes are without classing it up with a word like "love". Figured we may as well just keep it pronounced the same way as boobs but just spell it with a "z". Don't want to make it any harder than it is for them. As in: "Whoa, I totally boobz you".
DeGenerous - For girls to express their platonic love. I know we already have the word platonic, but let's face it- that word sucks. It sounds like a combination of "Pluto and tonic", or "Plate Tectonics". I have found that all women, young and old, large and small love Ellen. Us guys already have "bro" and "homey" and "dawg" and "comrade" etc. so I figure coming up with another one would be redundant. As in: "I DeGenerous to go shopping with you, you're my DeGenerous!"
Ka-Pow - I would ka-pow to be Batman. As in: "I would ka-pow to be Batman"
Ultra-Fire-Meteo - the ultimate level of Love. Like soul-mate love. So when you Ultra-Fire-Meteo someone, that's like An Ultra-Firework Meteor of Love. As in: "I know the ladies will want hear how much they are Ultra-Fire-Meteoed."
*It must suck to be a present Greek and have that shadow cast over you. They have a ton of philosophizing and society creating to do to catch up. It must create quite a complex.
