Made-up words

MaxPower: /* Drunkening */

'''''[[The Simpsons]]''''' has used and coined many {{W|neologism}}s for humorous effect, many of which are only used once. The most famous example is Homer Simpson's signature annoyed grunt, "[[D'oh!]]".

Few of the following made-up words would qualify as neologisms from a strict lexicological perspective due to their extremely limited uses outside of the show. For those that have found their way into regular use, the route passes through the considerable fan-base where use of these words carries the prestige of pop-culture literacy among those who catch the references, just as among other cultural groups a clever parallel to a well-known phrase from the literary or rhetorical canon would be acknowledged.

The following is presented, then, as a glossary of words or phrases invented by the show which one or more characters use in regular speech, as though intended as real terms. This does not include names of characters, locations, or products.

|}
== A ==

=== ''Absotively notarino'' ===
A jokey way of saying "definitely not". "Absotively" is a portmanteau of "absolutely" and "positively". Possibly a variation on the spoonerized phrase "absotively posilutely".

In "[[Hurricane Neddy]]", [[Dr. Foster]] asks a younger [[Ned Flanders]] if he feels angry, to which the younger Ned replies uncertainly, "Absotively notarino".

=== ''Adultivity'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Adultivity}}
The state or condition of being an adult.

In "[[Much Apu About Nothing]]", [[Kearney]] believes that his fake "Charles Norwood" ID will verify this for him, thus allowing him to buy beer and cheap cigars: "Here's my ID, which confirms my '''adultivity'''."

=== ''Ahoy-hoy'' ===
[[Mr. Burns]]'s favorite greeting. It was originally suggested by {{W|Alexander Graham Bell}} as the greeting to be used when answering his new invention, the telephone. Thus, Mr. Burns using it to answer the phone is really a joke about his advanced age.

=== ''Ahoy there'' ===
Another of [[Mr. Burns]]'s greetings.

=== ''Al-key-hol'' ===
Marge's pronunciation of "alcohol" in "[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]" and "[[The War of the Simpsons]]".

:'''Marge:''' [[Homer]], go easy on the al-key-hol.

=== ''America Junior'' ===
A term for [[Canada]] coined by Homer in "[[The Bart Wants What It Wants]]".

:'''Homer:''' Why should we leave America to visit '''America Junior'''?

=== ''Amnesia ray'' ===
Mr. Burns' word for a revolver in the episode "[[Lisa the Skeptic]]".

=== ''Annual Gift Man'' ===
The fictitious translation of Santa Claus's supposed name in Japanese. In Japan he is supposedly thought to live on the Moon. {{ap|John|Cockamamie's}} (voiced by guest star [[John Waters]]) mentions the name in the episode "[[Homer's Phobia]]".

=== ''Appling'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Appling}}
The process of using Photoshop to add rosy "apple" to someone's cheeks and make them more attractive. [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] apples Mr. Burns face to make him appear more benevolent on the cover of a newspaper. Seen in "[[Fraudcast News]]".

=== ''Aserose'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Aserose}}
Possessing the qualities of a pine needle. This word was used in the [[Spellympics]] in the episode "[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can]]".

=== ''Assal Horizontology'' ===
A term for a medical procedure coined by [[Dr. Nick Riviera]] in "[[King-Size Homer]]".

[[Homer Simpson]] tries to gain weight to get on workers' compensation. While prescribing a diet consisting of a steady gorging process for Homer, Dr. Nick suggests that it be combined with '''assal horizontology'''. Presumably, he means lying down - or more likely, sitting on your ass in an almost horizontal position. Possible also that he means to gain so much weight causing Homer's ass to expand horizontally

=== ''Avoision'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Avoision}}
[[Kent Brockman]]'s conflation of the words avoidance and evasion in "[[Bart the Fink]]".

Brockman used the word on the air, and when someone attempted to correct him through his earpiece, Brockman angrily replied, "I don't say evasion, I say '''avoision'''." This is a reference to a William Shatner outtake where he argues with his director over "sabotage": "You say ''sabotage''. I say ''sabot-age''" (rhyming with the word ''badge'').

The term ''avoision'' originated in the literature of the anti-taxation movement in the U.S. in the 1970s; it was coined to get around laws against advocating or providing advice relating to tax evasion.

== B ==
=== ''Baditude'' ===
Attitude of a badass, as used by Bart in his introduction of Furious D, the racehorse in "[[Saddlesore Galactica]]": "He's the bad boy of racing. He's got attitude and baditude [Furious D whinnies] so show him some latitude and you'll win his gratitude. Only in America!"

=== ''Bagzooka'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Bagzooka}}
A bazooka that fires beanbags, as used by Lou in "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".

=== ''Banjoologist'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Banjoologist}}
An expert in banjo based musical styles.

In the episode "[[Home Away from Homer]]", Lisa listens to a radio program on obscure music, and hears the host refer to a guest as a '''banjoologist''', using "-ology" as the suffix for the study of a subject (or sometimes the subject itself, although this is technically incorrect).

=== ''Bartesque'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Bartesque}}
An invented French word that means "being like Bart" (i.e., mischievous).

:'''Bart:''' But it involves being a bit underhanded, a bit devious, a bit, as the French say: '''Bartesque'''.

=== ''Basegame'' ===
A variant of baseball, but without a ball, offered at Springfield Elementary while the school's only ball was being repaired. Used by [[Principal Skinner]] in "[[My Big Fat Geek Wedding]]".

=== ''Bathiola'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Bathiola}}
[[Mr. Burns]]'s name for a bath.

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' I'm going to take a '''bathiola''', and when I get back, one of you better be laughing.

=== ''Bazongas'' ===
A term for large breasts used by Marge in "[[Large Marge]]", after she accidentally got given a boob job.

:'''[[Marge]]:'''"What on Earth have you done?! My maguppies became bazongas!"

=== ''Beginualize'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Beginualize}}
A mixture of "actualize" and "begin", used by a counsellor teaching Marge and Maggie the C.R.I.E. method of baby independence when Maggie becomes too clingy. Episode: "[[Midnight Towboy]]".

:'''Counsellor:''' "Now her childhood can '''beginualize'''."

=== ''Beginulate'' ===
Used by [[Professor Frink|Professor John Frink]] as part of his pseudo-scientific jargon, merely as a more complicated verb form of "begin".

Its use appears in the "[[Treehouse of Horror XV]]" short ''[[Treehouse of Horror XV#In the Belly of the Boss|In the Belly of the Boss]]'':

:'''Frink:''' "Let the commencement... '''beginulate'''!"

=== ''Beheadbumped'' ===
Bumped on the head. Used in "[[The Wettest Stories Ever Told]]", when Ned Flanders is knocked unconscious by Homer's bowling ball from the roof.

=== ''Belly-Fruit'' ===
A term used by [[Brandine Spuckler]] for "baby", in "[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]". [[Cletus]] put the newest Spuckler baby up for adoption, but it turned out he had misunderstood Brandine so they returned to the adoption agency to reclaim the baby. When Brandine saw [[Selma]] holding the baby, she hollered, "Give me back my belly-fruit!"

=== ''Bembarassed'' ===
A mispronunciation of "embarrassed" spoken by [[Ralph Wiggum]] in "[[Smart and Smarter]]".

=== ''Be-musement Park'' ===
An amusement park that bemuses instead of amuses. Coined by [[Ned Flanders]] in "[[I'm Goin' to Praiseland]]".
:'''Ned:''' Oh, Maude, I've turned your dream of a Christian amusement park into a '''be-musement park'''.
:'''Homer:''' Don't say that, Ned!
:'''Ned:''' It is! It's a ''be''-musement park!

The phrase might also be intended as a play on letter grading from A-musement to B-musement. See B-movie. Whereas "B-musement" suggests the park is second rate and explains his strong spoken emphasis of the letter "b", "bemusement" suggests the attendees simply fail to understand the religious park's message.

=== ''Betsy Bleedingheart'' ===
A person or organisation who tries to get sympathy with the public.

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' A non-profit organization with oil; I won't allow it! An oil well doesn't belong in the hands of some '''Betsy Bleedingheart''' or Maynard G. Muskievote!

=== ''Big-boy cup'' ===
A regular drinking cup, such as an older boy or an adult man would drink from.

=== ''Blingwad'' ===
Unclassified transformed matter. Possibly a wad of bling.

:'''[[Krusty the Clown]]:''' I oughta replace it right now with that Chinese cartoon with the robots that turn into... '''blingwads'''! But I'm a lazy, lazy man.

(From the episode "[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]".)

=== ''Bloopy'' ===

A term used by Marge to describe Bart's bulging waistline

=== ''Blubber-in-law'' ===

This is a term used by Patty and Selma to denigrate Homer. It is a play on "brother-in-law", and the fact that Homer is fat.

=== ''Blue-icide'' ===

A term used by Patty when Marge's hair turned grey. It is a conflation of the words "blue" and "suicide".

:'''Patty:''' So it's true. Your hair committed '''blue-icide'''.

=== ''Blundering Numbskullery'' ===
Burns' insult to an assassin who can't do the job of killing Grampa Simpson.

:'''Assassin:''' [''after failing to kill Grampa''] D'oh! Not again!
:'''Burns:''' I can't take much more of your '''blundering numbskullery'''.

From the episode "[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]".

=== ''Blurst'' ===
A word typed by Mr. Burns' monkeys when they were sitting at typewriters attempting to write a book. They typed "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" to the disappointment of [[Mr. Burns]].

=== ''Bolognium'' ===
An element on a highly inaccurate Periodic Table at [[Springfield Elementary]]. Due to their inability to afford an accurate Table, they have to make do with a promotional one from Oscar Mayer, which advertises their product in the information. The atomic weight of Bolognium is known to be either "delicious" or "snacktacular".

=== ''Boni'' ===
Plural of "bonus" and a linguistic wordplay (In Latin, the plural of "bonus" is "boni"). Used by [[Mr. Burns]] in "[['Tis the Fifteenth Season]]".

:'''Burns:''' All right, everyone, it's time for your Christmas '''boni'''.

=== ''Bonus Eruptus'' ===
A medical condition coined by Dr. Nick Riviera that is described as "a terrible condition where the skeleton tries to leap out of the mouth and escape the body" in "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]".

The term came to be when a frantic [[Abraham Simpson|Abe Simpson]] demanded to see a quack. Abe's symptoms included being "edgy", having "ants in his pants" and being "discombobulated". Dr. Nick also warned Grampa that if he didn't calm down to receive treatment, Grampa would give himself skin failure. Dr. Nick's prescribed treatment for Bonus Eruptus was "Trans-dental Electromicide," which called for a golf-cart motor and a 1000-volt "Capacimator". High voltage is applied to the patient's teeth, presumably until he is either cured or dead.

This is a reference to the common cartoon trope of a skeleton escaping a character's mouth in fright, and possibly a reference to the Ray Bradbury short story "Skeleton".

=== ''Boom Potatoes'' ===
A term used by the [[Spuckler family]] in "[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]" to refer to hand grenades which [[Brandine]] had brought back from [[Iraq]].

=== ''Boostafazoo'' ===
Physical punishment or comeuppance.

:'''[[Bart]]:''' Burns needs some serious '''boostafazoo''', right Dad?

=== ''Boo-urns'' ===
What [[Smithers]] tells [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Burns]] the angry movie audience is saying after a screening of his film "A Burns for All Seasons".

During the episode "[[A Star Is Burns]]", Mr. Burns asks his faithful assistant [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] if the crowd is booing his blatantly egotistical motion picture. Smithers, ever the yes-man, replies that they are saying "'''boo-urns'''" (i.e. "Burns"), and not "boo". When Burns asks for clarification, the crowd replies that they are indeed saying "boo", and not "boo-urns". After the crowd replies, [[Hans Moleman]] says that, in fact, he ''was'' saying "boo-urns".

:'''Hans Moleman:''' I was saying "boo-urns..."

Recently, the expression Boo-Urns has been used by Australian Soccer fans, in particular, the supporters of Adelaide United FC when 'Boo-ing' an opposition player.

=== ''Bovine University'' ===

A euphemism for a meat-packing plant. The term was used by [[Troy McClure]] in the vintage pro-meat/pro-slaughter film ''[[Meat and You: Partners in Freedom]]'', which was shown to [[Lisa]]'s class during the episode "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]".

:'''Troy McClure:''' When the cattle are just right, it's time for them to "graduate" from Bovine University.

"Graduating" is an obvious reference to the cattle being slaughtered and processed. [[Ralph Wiggum]], however, not only completely swallowed the film's propaganda slant but also missed the meaning of the term and said that he was going to go to Bovine University when he grew up.

=== ''Brain medicine'' ===
A fictitious medicine mentioned by Homer in an attempt to get Bart and Lisa to open the car's glove compartment.

Homer asks Bart to "open the glove compartment and fetch him his '''brain medicine'''" in the episode "[[Homerpalooza]]". The brain medicine turns out to be tickets to Hullabalooza.

The term "brain medicine" was also used in "[[Lisa's Wedding]]" by an insane relative of Lisa's fiancée:

:'''Lisa:''' I love that painting. Judging by the clothes, I'd say... seventeenth century?
:'''Mrs. Parkfield:''' Actually, Lisa, it's just Uncle Eldred.
:'''Eldred:''' [''fishing in an empty fishbowl''] I get me '''brain medicine''' from the National 'Ealth!

=== ''Brassafrax'' ===
Presumably an extremely antiquated cry of submission (as in "Uncle!") used by Charles Montgomery Burns's mother in the episode "[[Homer the Smithers]]". When Smithers wants to regain Burns's trust, he tells Homer to call Burns's mother and transfer the call to his office. Smithers's plan is to rush in and rescue Burns from what will certainly be an awkward phone conversation.

:'''Smithers:''' Hello, Mrs. Burns? This is Waylon Smithers, Jr.. I have your son Montgomery on the line...
:'''Mrs. Burns:''' That improvident lackwit? Always too busy stridin' about his atom mill to call his own mother. I'll give him what-fors till he cries '''brassafrax'''!

=== ''Bumbled-bee'' ===
One of [[Mr. Burns]]' seemingly antiquated alternative expressions referring to an existing term (similar to "iced cream", the original name for ice cream). In "[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]", Burns takes a driving test and tells [[Selma]], who is in the process of lowering the soft top on his roadster, "Stop that, you [[#want-wit|want-wit]]! I could get stung by a '''bumbled-bee'''!"

== C ==
=== ''Cah-ta-hay Cheese'' ===
Bart's mispronunciation of "cottage cheese" in "[[The Heartbroke Kid]]". Bart was unaware of many healthy foods such as this when he was forced to live a less unhealthy lifestyle, and he consequently had no idea how to pronounce the food.

=== ''California Cheeseburger'' ===
A sandwich with a baby in the middle, first seen in "[[The Secret War of Lisa Simpson]]".

[[Chief Wiggum]] shows a group of touring kids a museum display of a hippie couple who are getting stoned and ready to take a bite of the "California Cheeseburger."

=== ''Capdabbler'' ===
A word made up by Mr. Burns in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]" for a song parodying Dr. Seuss's "The Grinch":

<blockquote>''"Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing They're not sad at all. They're actually singing! They sing without juicers They sing without blenders They sing without flungers, '''capdabblers''' and mendlers!"''</blockquote>

=== ''Car Hole'' ===
A common man's term for garage, coined by [[Moe Szyslak]] in "[[The Springfield Connection]]".

While "Car Hole" appears only twice in the series itself, it is often used by fans to jokingly refer to a garage, or garage-like structure. The phrase first appears in a conversation between Moe Szyslak and Homer Simpson, wherein Moe ridicules Homer for his use of the overly formal word, "garage".
:'''Homer:''' Hmm. I wonder why he's so eager to go to the garage?
:'''Moe:''' The "garage"? Hey fellas, the "garage"! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man.
:'''Homer:''' Well what do ''you'' call it?
:'''Moe:''' A '''car hole'''!

The phrase appears once more, as Homer Simpson expresses his shock, upon discovering a counterfeit jeans outfit has (inexplicably) taken up operation in his garage.

:'''Homer:''' [''gasps''] A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole!

=== ''Chazwazers'' ===
A fictitious Australian name for the bullfrog.

As the Simpsons depart from Australia, an [[Squeaky-voiced Australian teen|Australian equivalent]] of the [[Squeaky-Voiced Teen]] asks what the strange creature infesting his home country is called. Upon receiving its proper name, he responds, "What? That's an odd name. I'd have called them '''chazwazers'''."

=== ''Cheese-eating surrender monkeys'' ===
{{main|Cheese-eating surrender monkeys}}
A satirical and insulting phrase, referring to the collaborationist Vichy France regime's surrender in World War II.''' '''

'''Groundskeeper Willie''' (teaching French class): 'bonjourrrrrr, you cheese-eating surrender monkeys!"

=== ''Chestal'' ===
Of, or relating to, the chest.

:'''Bart:''' I'm all tense through the '''chestal''' area!

The word "chestal," in this sense, first became popular in the 1960s when Woody Allen used it in one of his [http://www.ibras.dk/comedy/allen.htm#Eggs stand-up comedy routines]. It then appeared in the episode "[[Bart's Girlfriend]]"

Also used: "neckal" and "scalpal".

=== ''Chester A. Arthritis'' ===
A condition resulting from excitement over studying President Chester A. Arthur. Lisa jokes about having just gotten over her "Chester A. Arthritis" before coming down with "Jebeditis".

:'''Professor Hollis:''' "Looks like you've come down with a serious case of Jebeditis."
:'''Lisa:''' "Just as I was getting over my Chester A. Arthritis."
:'''Professor Hollis:''' "Heh heh... y-you had arthritis?"

=== ''Chimpan-A'' ===

An ape. In a musical based on ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'', [[Troy McClure]]'s character claimed that he hated all apes from "chimpan-A to chimpanzee", as a pun on chimpanzee and the phrase "A to Z".

=== ''Chinese sky candy'' ===

Another word for fireworks in the episode "[[Trilogy of Error]]".

:'''Officer Lou:''' "There's enough Chinese sky candy here to put you boys away for a long time."

=== ''Chocotastic'' ===
One of the three neglected food groups, along with the Whipped group and the Congealed group, that Homer must concentrate on eating more of in "[[King-Size Homer]]".

This word has made its way into international culture, as there are Pop Tarts available in The Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe with the flavor of ''Chocotastic''. (Coincidentally, in the episode, Riviera recommends that Homer use Pop Tarts to replace bread in sandwiches.)

=== ''Clone-a-saurus'' ===
A dinosaur clone.

When Skinner wanted to write a story about a man who cloned a dinosaur and title it ''Billy and the '''Clone-a-saurus''','' Apu angrily yelled at him for using an idea that had already been used and giving it a bad title.

=== ''Clouseauesque'' ===
A combination of excessive clumsiness and ridiculously bad luck, in the manner of Peter Sellers' hapless {{W|Inspector Jacques Clouseau}}.
From the episode "[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]".

The French waiter, who accused Freddy Quimby of attacking him, says in the court room, "This is an outrage! I am not a clumsy '''clouseauesque''' waiter!" He then falls out of the window into an open truck of rat traps.

=== ''Commie-Nazis'' ===
Fictional villains [[Rainier Wolfcastle]]'s action hero [[McBain]] faces in [[Untitled McBain film|one of his McBain movies]].

While delivering [[UNICEF]] pennies to "the puny children who need them", the McBain's airplane is attacked. He picks up the radio and says, "McBain to base, under attack by '''Commie-Nazis'''." These "Commie-Nazis" combine Communism and Nazi ideology, and use a mix of the Swastika and Hammer and Sickle on a red background as their standard.

This phrase has long precedent in the form of "Commu-Nazi" as used by Walter Winchell. However, many viewers believe that this is simply a combination of two over-used action movie villains.

It may also be a reference to the Superman comics during World War II pitting the superhero against the "Japanazis", a cross between America's two principal enemies in the war.

=== ''Crackle-berries'' ===
Mr. Burns's name for peanuts in "[[The Regina Monologues]]".

:'''Mr. Burns:''' "Look, Smithers. Crackle-berries!"

=== ''Crantastic'' ===
A reference to an Ocean Spray advertising device, a portmanteau of ''cranberry'' and ''fantastic''. Said by the Squeaky-Voiced Teen as he is swept away by a tide of cranberry juice in "[[Homer and Apu]]".

=== ''Crap factory'' ===
Invented by Bart as a {{W|dysphemism}} for "stomach" after [[Nelson]] takes exception to his saying "tummy."

:'''Bart:''' "Its my tummy!" ''(Nelson glares at him)'' "I mean stomach! Gut! '''Crap factory'''!"

=== ''Craptacular'' ===
A portmanteau of "crap" and "spectacular."

Craptacular was used by Bart to describe the supposedly defective [[Christmas]] lights that Homer purchased in "[[Miracle on Evergreen Terrace]]". It is one of the more frequently used made-up words from ''The Simpsons'', and, like a few others, was in use before ''The Simpsons'' popularized it. Currently a yearly contest on Howard Stern show, where contestants eat and eat then weigh their waste over 24 hours.

=== ''Craptured'' ===
Homer's word for crap that has been raptured. He used it when he found Bart's room empty. Used in "[[A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again]]".

:'''Homer:''' Bart's been raptured! And his crap's been '''craptured'''!

=== ''Crayola Oblongata'' ===
The procedure of putting a crayon into the brain via the nasal cavity, a port-manteau of crayon producing company {{W|Crayola}} and the part of the brainstem called the medulla oblongata.

=== ''Crisitunity'' ===
A portmanteau created by Homer when Lisa tells him that the Chinese have the same word for "crisis" and "opportunity". The actual Chinese words for those terms are different but share a common character ([[wiktionary:危|危]][[wiktionary:機|機]] for "crisis", [[wiktionary:機|機]][[wiktionary:會|會]] for "opportunity").

From "[[Fear of Flying]]".

=== ''Cromulent'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Cromulent}}
A word meaning valid or acceptable, coined by [[David X. Cohen]] for the ''Simpsons'' episode "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]".

When schoolteacher [[Edna Krabappel]] hears the [[Springfield]] town motto "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word ''[[embiggens]]'' before moving to Springfield. [[Miss Hoover]] replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly '''cromulent''' word".

Later in the same episode, while talking about Homer's audition for the role of town crier, Principal Skinner states "He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance."

Based on the context in which Miss Hoover uses the word cromulent, we can interpret that she intends it to mean "legitimate", "applicable" or "appropriate." Principal Skinner seems to use it to mean "more than acceptable" or "more than adequate"; these usages would also (in an assumed lexical context) satisfy Miss Hoover's use of the word. Perhaps both characters intend it to mean "authentic", which would validate both uses of the word (e.g. "it's a perfectly authentic word" and "he embiggened that role with his authentic performance"). Lisa uses it later in that episode, when instead of telling the truth about Jebediah Springfield, she accepts that the myth and the made-up words have inspirational value. The word has a sort of recursive irony about it: as a made-up word it possesses none of the qualities that it describes.

Both "embiggen" and "cromulent" were quickly adopted and used by ''Simpsons'' fans. Cromulent has taken on an ironic meaning, to say that something is not at all legitimate and in fact spurious. Indeed the DVD commentary for "Lisa the Iconoclast" makes a point of reinforcing that "embiggen" and "cromulent" are completely made up by the writers and have since taken on a life of their own via the Internet and other media.

In the 2005 Xbox game ''Jade Empire'', the player meets a British-colonialist-styled outsider who uses made-up mispronounced words. When the player confronts the man with this, the man claims that one of the words he used was "cromulent".

=== ''Crotch dot'' ===
A red dot that appears on one's crotch, and is thought to be fatal (Chief Wiggum's uncle died of Crotch Dot). Seymour Skinner was suspected of having this disease, although in reality, it was a laser pointer used as a prank by Bart. From "[[The Dad Who Knew Too Little]]". Compare to "crotch rot", a slang term for jock itch.

:'''Chief Wiggum:''' "Hey you better get that red dot checked out, my uncle died of crotch dot!"

== D ==
=== ''Dash Hole'' ===
Another name for the cigarette lighter power socket.

This name was used by the automotive appliance salesman when asking Homer what he had plugged into his '''Dash Hole.''' From "[[Brake My Wife, Please]]".

=== ''Debigulator'' ===
A device for shrinking a person to microscopic size.

A Professor Frink-like character uses the debigulator to shrink Lisa to microscopic size in The Genesis Tub, one of the stories in Treehouse of Horror VII.

=== ''Deceleratrix'' ===
The service brakes on a car.

Mr. Burns attempts to drive a car for the first time while proclaiming he is sure the owners' manual will instruct him as to which lever is the [[#Velocitator|velocitator]] and which one is the '''deceleratrix'''. The word is formed by changing the word "decelerator" from the Latin masculine to feminine. From "[[Homer the Smithers]]"

=== ''Dickety'' ===
[[Grampa]]'s made-up word for twenty in the episode "[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]".

:'''Abe:''' Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause the [[Kaiser Wilhelm|Kaiser]] had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles...

The word may have a faux "old timer" feel because of its similarity to the words "dicker" and lickety as in "lickety split." Dicker is a word for bargain that's sometimes associated with rural or antiquated settings.

In the Latin American version the word used is "tijiri", which has no actual meaning or similarity to another word.

The German version is "zwickig", which also has no meaning, but sounds similar to "zwanzig" ("twenty").

The term pokes fun at the common habit of replacing words during the anti-German sentiment of World War I, such as the replacing of Sauerkraut with "Liberty Cabbage" (according to Grampa, Liberty Cabbage was, in turn, known as "Super Slaw").

=== ''Diddly'' ===
(Also spelled '''diddily'''), [[Ned Flanders]]' characteristic non-word.

Generally speaking, "'''diddly'''", though not in itself a made-up word, is used by Ned Flanders in what linguists call a filled pause, a non-word which a speaker uses to take up time or space in a sentence, and which are sometimes used for emphasis. Flanders often uses "diddly" as an {{W|alliteration}} in his sentences, i.e. "What can I diddly-do you for?" or "Dee-diddly-lighted!" Flanders also seems to use filled pauses as a crutch to avoid swearing, as in "son of a diddly...", until he finally snaps in "[[Hurricane Neddy]]" when the inept townspeople of Springfield, in a disastrous attempt to rebuild his house, push him too far: "Calm down, Neddilly-diddily-diddily-diddily... They did their best... Shoddilly-iddily-iddily-diddly... Gotta be nice... hostility-ilitybilitydility ''aaaw hell diddly ding dong crap!'' Can't you morons do ''anything'' right?!"

Occasionally, Flanders will use "diddly" as a {{W|tmesis}} such as in the episode "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]" in his note at the summer house to the Simpsons ("Wel-diddly-elcome", to which Homer responds "He actually ''wrote'' "diddly").

It was also used as a familial word when the 'Flanders Clan' has a reunion, Jose Flanders says when meeting Homer, "Buenos ding-dong-diddly días, señor" (although [[Lord Thistlewick Flanders]] has to be prompted to say it, and does so reluctantly).

In the Latin American version, "diddly" is often translated as "-irijillo", an overly elaborate and ridiculous diminutive (e.g. "Perfectirijillo").

=== ''Disease Box'' ===
A term for a box in which a contagious person sat and to which other people would come in order to try to contract the disease.

In "[[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]]", [[Maggie]] caught the chicken pox and [[Homer]] put her in a box so that the neighborhood kids could catch it before they grew up.

He noted that "As with all disease boxes, results may vary."

=== ''Doctorb'' ===
Homer, in need of a triple bypass, sees an infomercial showcasing the surgical "talents" of Dr. Nick. In the ad, Dr. Nick gives the (presumably) toll-free number as, "1-600-DOCTORB", going on to explain that "...The B is for 'bargain'!" It is pronounced / ˈdɔkˌtoːɻb/

=== ''Dodgerock'' ===
A game of dodgeball played with a rock instead of a ball. At least one (brief) match was played by Nelson Muntz and Milhouse.

=== ''Dollareydoo'' ===

A term to describe Australian Dollars. In "[[Bart vs. Australia]]", when the [[Bruno Drundridge|father]] of the [[Tobias Drundridge|Australian boy]], whom [[Bart]] had called collect, saw the bill for 900 dollars, he exclaimed "900 Dollareydoos?!" and asked his son if he had accepted the call from America. When the Australian boy replies that he'd only accepted the charges because he thought it was urgent, the father confronts Bart over the phone, only to learn his son had fallen victim to a prank.

It is likely that the term "Dollareydoo" is a reference to the aboriginal instrument from Australia, the Didgeridoo or didgeridu.

=== ''Don'ter'' ===
The opposite of a doer. Appeared in "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".

'''[[Bart]]:''' Hey, some people in this family are doers, and some ''[he looks at Lisa]'' are '''don'ter'''s.

=== ''D'oh!'' ===
{{main|D'oh!}}

An exclamation of annoyance often uttered by [[Homer]].

In scripts and episode titles, '''D'oh''' is referred to as "'''annoyed grunt'''"1.

It may be argued that "D'oh" is not a Simpsons neologism, as actor [[Dan Castellaneta]] based the phrase on James Finlayson's similar utterance in many Laurel & Hardy films; however, Finlayson did not exclaim the term as Castellaneta does, but used it as more of a muttered whine.

=== ''Don't have a cow, man!'' ===
An exclamation and catchphrase of Bart that implies that the subject should calm down, or not get worked up about something. It was brought into pop culture mainly by merchandise, as is evidenced by the fact that it is only uttered by Bart on the show a handful of times in the first season ("[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]" and "[[The Call of the Simpsons]]"), and therefore were not self-parodying uses.

In the third season's "[[Bart the Murderer]]", Eat My Shorts and Don't Have a Cow are horses in a race. It isn't used again by Bart until the eighth season. In "[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]", in response to Homer's cartoon debut, Lisa explains, "you can't be cool just by spouting off a bunch of worn-out buzzwords." Bart replies, "don't have a cow, Lis!" In "[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]", Bart sings it along with "eat my shorts!" as part of his musical introduction in the variety show spin-off.

Occasionally, another character has uttered the line. In another self-parodying use, Apu, a vegetarian, shows off his t-shirt with the saying surrounding an actual cow in a no symbol in the seventh season's "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]". In the seventh season's "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", After Bart's complaining that Lisa is acting like him to get friends, Lisa is overheard to say "Don't have a cow, man!" (and later "¡Ay, caramba!") to which Marge replies, "you haven't said that in four years. Let Lisa have it."

In the 19th season's "[[Apocalypse Cow]]", after raising a young bull to adulthood and saving it from the slaughterhouse, Bart comments that he can finally say he "had a cow".

=== ''Drunkening'' ===

=== ''Electromicide'' ===
According to [[Dr. Nick Riviera]], the only treatment for [[#Bonus Eruptus|Bonus Eruptus]].

Dr. Nick's procedure is trans-dental '''electromicide''', a process of introducing severe electrical currents into the body through the mouth. The word electromicide is possibly a conflation of the prefix electro- with homicide.

=== ''Embiggen'' ===

From a famous saying by [[Jebediah Springfield|Jebediah Springfield/Hans Sprungfeld]]: "A Noble Spirit '''Embiggens''' the Smallest Man", evoking the manner in which its antonym, [[wiktionary:belittle|belittle]], was coined by Thomas Jefferson.

:'''Kent Brockman:''' Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?

:'''Homer Simpson:''' Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. '''Forfty''' percent of all people know that.

=== ''Glaven'' ===
A word used by [[Professor Frink]] when he's muttering. In one episode while he's shocked he says, "Great '''glaven''' in a glass!" or "Good glaven!" It is most often heard when Frink is in pain like "Oh, so much pain in the glaven!" (pronounced / ˈglejvn̩/) This is probably an adaptation of [[Jerry Lewis]]'s interjection "froyndleyven!", which, in turn, is presumed to be Yiddish semi-nonsense roughly meaning "happytime!" (cf. standard German "Freund", ''friend''; "Freude", ''joy''; "Leben", ''life''). The similarity to Slavic words for 'head' (golova, glava, glowa) does not account for the vowels or 'n' and is probably coincidental. Lewis's portrayal of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nutty_Professor Nutty Professor] is considered by many ''Simpsons'' fans to be partial inspiration for Frink's character, and Lewis did a guest voice in one episode as Frink's father.

:'''Frink:''' That meteor is headed straight for us, with the fire, and the impact, and the hundred percent chance of pain!... Pain in the glaven!!

Alternate spelling: glavin or glayvin.

But when Moe answers the phone, Bart preempts the original purpose of the call and substitutes one of his trademark prank-calls. Instead of asking for his father "Homer Simpson," Bart asks for "'''Homer Sexual'''." With the prank thus launched, Bart quickly hands the phone to the Principal, who is shocked and dismayed to hear [[Moe Szyslak]]'s resulting tirade.

Later, when Homer marks Skinner as a possible mate for Selma, an imaginary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heads-up_display heads-up display] seen from Homer's point of view (a spoof of ''The Terminator'' movies) identifies Skinner as a possible "homer-sexual."

Though not exactly the same, Homer proclaims it is time to "get Homererotic" when he is having himself photographed in suggestive poses for a gift portfolio for Marge.

More recently the term "homersexual" has been used as a parody antonym for the expression metrosexual (which means a heterosexual with stereotypical gay habits); in this context, "homersexual" refers to a gay person with stereotypical straight habits.

=== ''Hypohemia'' ===
Mr. Burns's rare blood disease, for which he needed a transfusion of Bart's blood in the episode "[[Blood Feud]]". The word stems from a combination of ''hypo'' (Greek prefix for "under" or "below") and ''hemia'' (Greek for "blood"). The proper term for lack of circulatory fluids, however, is ''hypovolemia''.

== I ==
=== ''Iddly'' ===
Sometimes spelled "iddily", this is another one of Ned Flanders's words, similar to "diddly" and "doodly", though not used as often.

In "[[Hurricane Neddy]]", Ned uses the phrase "Shoddily-iddily-iddily-diddly."

In "[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]", Ned murmured, "Iddly diddly" to himself over and over again while in the hot tub.

A condition resulting from excitement over Jebediah Springfield.

Professor Hollis: "Looks like you've come down with a serious case of Jebeditis."
Lisa: "Just as I was getting over my Chester A. Arthritis."
Professor Hollis: "Heh heh... y-you had arthritis?"

=== ''Jebus'' ===
According to [[Matt Groening]], ''The Simpsons'' writers have an ongoing competition to write a line that "most represents Homer at his singularly most stupid". Most likely the current champion is Homer's faux term for Jesus, first mentioned in the episode "Missionary: Impossible." When asked to be a missionary, Homer replies, "I'm no missionary, I don't even believe in '''Jebus'''!". When the plane that is carrying Homer is taking off, he cries, "Save me Jebus!"

The Old Testament of the Bible mentions a people called the Jebusites, residing in Jebus, which was renamed Jerusalem after being conquered by the Israelites.

In popular usage on many discussion boards, such as [http://www.fark.com Fark.com] and [http://talk.guardian.co.uk/ Guardian Unlimited Talk], it is often deliberately used by posters as an implied "cut" or "chop" against Christians, particularly fundamentalist Christians from the Southern United States. Sometimes spelled "Jeebus" in this context.

Jebus has often been the Papua New Guinean patois for Jesus.

A deliberate misspelling of the word "cancel." When Marge led a group opposed to the violence of [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]] and Krusty the Clown's showing of the series, a protester held a sign labelled "Kancel Krusty."

=== ''Killbot Factory'' ===
[[Kent Brockman]]'s openly-declared "more alarmist" name for the United States Army, an institution Brockman shockingly describes as a place where "hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill!" The term "killbot" has gone on to be widely used in ''[[Futurama]]''.

=== ''Klassic'' ===
A deliberately-misspelled version of the word "classic" seen in [[Krusty Komedy Klassic]]. It was misspelled to alliterate with Krusty's name, but the audience booed and threw things at him because the initials were KKK (which is also the name of a white supremacist group). Krusty himself noticed the troublesome initials seconds before getting booed and noted to himself, "KKK? That's no good!".

=== ''Knifey-Spooney'' ===
A fictional Australian barroom game seen in the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]". The game appears to consist of one person claiming that a spoon is actually a knife while his opponent attempts to contradict him as convincingly as possible. In a parody of a scene from the movie ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]'', [[Bart]] is playing with a pocketknife when he is confronted by an [[Australian man|Australian local]] who says, "You call that a knife?" The Aussie then shows Bart a spoon and says, "''This'' is a knife!" Bart matter-of-factly counters by saying, "That's not a knife. That's a spoon." The Aussie then backs down, puts the spoon away and says, "All right, all right, you win. I see you've played Knifey-Spooney before."

=== ''Knifey Wifey'' ===
A name used by Chief Wiggum for any woman who is known to have attacked her husband with a knife.

'''Wiggum:''' Here we are, [[123 Fake Street]]. Home of knifey wifey.

=== ''Knowitallism'' ===
'''Knowitallism''' (also ''Know-it-all-ism'') is a fictitious word made up by the faculty of Springfield Elementary School to describe [[Lisa Simpson]]'s precocious personality. The students break into the school's vault and find their permanent records and when Lisa reads that her teachers have labelled her as suffering from "knowitallism", she exclaims, "That's not even a word!"

=== ''Knowledgeum'' ===
The Springfield Knowledgeum, a science museum "Where science is explained with brightly-colored balls", was visited by the Simpsons in episode "[[This Little Wiggy]]" .

=== ''Komedy'' ===
A deliberately-misspelled version of the word "comedy" seen in [[Krusty Komedy Klassic]]. It, like "Klassic", was misspelled to alliterate with Krusty's name, but the audience booed and threw things at him because the initials were KKK (which is also the name of a white supremacist group). Krusty himself noticed the troublesome initials seconds before getting booed and noted to himself, "KKK? That's no good!".

=== ''Krisis'' ===
A word used by Kent Brockman to assist in alliteratively describing the crisis that occurred at Kamp Krusty when it descended into a state of anarchy after a general revolt by abused campers.

=== ''Kwyjibo'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Kwyjibo}}
'''''Kwyjibo''''' / ˈkwɪdʒiˌbo/ is a word made up by Bart during a game of Scrabble with his family. In the episode "[[Bart the Genius]]", Bart puts "kwyjibo" on the board, scoring 116 points (22 points plus Triple Word Score plus 50 points for using all seven of his letters.) When Homer demands Bart say what a kwyjibo is, Bart replies, "A big, dumb, balding North American ape... with no chin." Marge adds in, "...and a short temper." At this point, Homer chases Bart away, causing him to exclaim, "Uh oh! Kwyjibo on the loose!"

'Kwyjibo' was used as one of the aliases of the creator of the Melissa worm, and is the name of a yo-yo string trick. 'Kweejibo' is a handmade clothing company in San Francisco.

Recently, Yahoo's online version of Scrabble was advertised on the Yahoo home page with a visual representation of letter tiles spelling out K-W-Y-J-I-B-O. Kwyjibo is also the name of a puzzle involving a Scrabble board in [[The Simpsons: Scene It?|The Simpsons Scene It]].

A lame female (a pun on Cinderella).

'''[[Bart]]:''' Skanks for nothin', '''Lamarella'''.

How an early Springfield settler describes a buffalo after seeing one for the first time, in the episode "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]". In the film ''Young Jebediah Springfield'', which relates the founding of Springfield, the group of migrants see a wild buffalo, with one of them proclaiming, "It's some sort of '''land cow'''!" Presumably a reference to sea cows, a term for manatees.

In the video game ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'', when driving with [[Cletus Spuckler]] he will yell "Move it, Land Cow!" upon hitting something.

=== ''Land Monster'' ===
An alternative name for groundhog, coined by an Adam-like Homer in the episode "[[Simpsons Bible Stories]]".

:'''[[Benzine girl|Girl]]:''' The '''leatheroleum''' covers were worth the extra money. Oh... you can smell the {{W|benzene}}.

=== ''Liberty Log'' ===
Liberty log, according to Abe Simpson, was the name given to sushi during the second World War, and no one ever heard of it. This is similar to the term Freedom Fries.

=== ''Little Horse'' ===
A racing greyhound. The phrase started in ''"[[Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]"'' on a banner outside the Springfield Dog track, which read: ''Just Think of Them as Little Horses''. Homer adopts the phrase...

:'''[[Homer Simpson]]:''' Come on, you '''little horse'''!

=== ''LSD'' ===
Love for my son and daughter. In "[[Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily]]", Marge, apparently clueless about the drug that shares these initials, tells a social worker that LSD is the only thing she's high on.

=== ''Lupper'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Lupper}}
When Bart and Lisa embarrass their parents while having brunch, Homer decides to leave and go to Moe's, stating he will see them at "'''lupper'''" (a portmanteau of lunch and supper). This rather obvious parallel portmanteau has appeared before in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Comics Archie Comics] and in the television sitcom ''Seinfeld''.

== M ==
=== ''Magumbos'' ===
A term for large breasts, spontaneously coined by [[Krusty the Clown]] in "[[Large Marge]]" when [[Marge]] flashed her enhanced figure to a crowd: "Wow! Look at those magumbos!" Fortuitously, it was the same as [[Stampy]] the elephant's safety word, "magumbo", which meant that Krusty's exclamation saved Stampy from getting shot by the police and [[Bart]], [[Milhouse]] and [[Homer]] from being devoured by Stampy.

=== ''Magguppies'' ===
A euphemism for breasts. In "[[Large Marge]]", Marge says to the doctors who gave her a boob job, "What on Earth have you done?! My maguppies became bazongas!".

=== ''Malonga Gilderchuck'' ===
A fictitious Australian word, used in describing how the bullfrogs are all over the place; presumably it is a generic term for an arbitrary, but common, location. Lisa and Marge are in the general store, and the shopkeeper is sweeping away all the bullfrogs, remarking, "These bloody things are everywhere. They're in the lift, in the lorry, in the bond wizard, and all over the malonga gilderchuck."

=== ''Malparkage'' ===
The state or condition of being illegally parked. In "[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]" Barney had left Homer's car illegally parked on the plaza at the World Trade Center. Homer then received a letter regarding this violation:

:"Dear motorist, your vehicle is illegally parked in the borough of Manhattan. If you do not remedy this '''malparkage''' within 72 hours, your car will be thrown into the East River at your expense."

This could be a reference to George Orwell's Newspeak, featured in his book ''1984'', where '''mal''' is a prefix for mistake, bad, or wrong. The following is a bureaucratic jargon quote (not actually Newspeak, but using Newspeak prefixing) from ''1984'' asking the protagonist to fix an error in Big Brother's speech on Africa:

:"times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported Africa rectify"

(Translated into standard English: "There is an error in the reporting of Big Brother's speech in the ''Times'' of 17 March 1984 with regards to Africa; it needs to be rectified.")

"Mal-" is also a Latin root word meaning "bad," and is used in several English words such as "malfunction," "malignant," and "maladjusted."

It could also be a play on the legal term "malpractice" in medical law.

=== ''Mazuma'' ===

A meth lab which Homer mistook for a restaurant in "[[The Food Wife]]".

:'''Homer:''' Marge! This isn't a food restaurant! It's a meth restaurant! A meth-taurant!

=== ''Microcalifragilistics'' ===

[[Homer]]'s mispronunciation and misspelling of tomatoes. ("[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]").

=== ''Money Fight'' ===
This is like a snow-ball fight, only with wads of cash in place of snow-balls. It can be done with two or more people within close range of each other. Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers decide to have a money fight in the middle of a difficult conversation concerning the power plant's safety budget.

=== ''Moo-Moo'' ===
A childish term for milk. When Milhouse was drinking milk from a baby bottle, he switched to a cup, noting that "Men don't get their '''moo-moo''' from a baba; they get their '''moo-moo''' from a big-boy cup!".

=== ''Mormon Hold 'Em'' ===
Another word for bigamy which according to Judge [[Constance Harm]] (in the episode "[[Brawl in the Family]]") is legal by Nevada law. It is a reference to both the stereotype that Mormons are in polygamous relationships and the poker variant "Texas hold 'em."

A term coined by Judge [[Constance Harm]] (in "[[The Parent Rap]]") for parents who are lax about disciplining their children: "Kids are running wild, [[Kent Brockman|Kent]], and I blame Mr. and Mrs. Never-Spank!"

== N ==
=== ''Neglecterino'' ===
Ned Flanders' typically cuddly and innocent term for a neglected child. The line was originally pitched by Matt Groening to be "abuserino", but was dismissed as sounding too harsh.

=== ''Neighborino'' ===
A Ned-Flanderized version of the word "neighbor." Possibly inspired by comedian Louis Nye on the ''[[Steve Allen]] Comedy Hour'' (1967), whose character Gordon Hathaway greeted Allen by saying "Hi, ho, Steve-a-reeno."

May also be inspired by Kimmy Gibbler's "Hola, Tanneritos" from the sitcom ''Full House''.

=== ''Nervous Pervis'' ===

The general who is divulging this information then terminates the cameraman.

=== ''Nucleon'' ===
Homer's stated place of work; mispronunciation of nuclear power plant.

A '''nucleon''' is actually a term for the particles of matter within a nucleus.

=== ''Nulecule'' ===

According to Homer, the mother of all atomic particles.

Moe is a contestant on the '''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire''' clone show '''Me Wantee''' and as his lifeline, calls Homer for help on which of "electron", "neutron", "proton" or "bonbon", is not an atomic particle. Homer begins a diatribe, "Well, it all starts when a '''nulecule''' comes out of its nest..." then Lisa grabs the phone and tells Moe that the correct answer is "bonbon". Moe follows Lisa's advice and wins $500,000. Moe then passes on the million dollar question and the Millionaire babes burn other half of the million dollars in a wheelbarrow.

The true essence of a '''nulecule''' and how it gets pregnant (and who or what gets it pregnant) and gives birth to atomic particles has not yet been explained.

=== ''Nuisancefon'' ===
Mock German, meaning a phone which causes distress.

In the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]", Bart dials several Southern Hemisphere countries attempting to discover in which direction their toilets flush. One of those countries is [[Argentina]], where Bart winds up dialing a man who appears to be [[Adolf Hitler]]. When the man can't answer his phone in time, he laments, "Ach! Das Beinfon ist ein... Nuisancefon!"

A euphemistic exclamation Marge uses when something bad happens.

:'''Marge:''' Aaah, nutty fudgekins!

=== ''Ny Mets'' ===

=== ''One Way Passage to the Boneyard'' ===
Horatio McCallister's word for an upcoming doom.

:'''[[Horatio McCallister]]:''' Arr, Burns, your scurvy schemes will earn ya a '''one way passage to the boneyard'''.

=== ''Osaka Flu'' ===
A variation on influenza, that originated in Osaka, Japan, hence the name.

In "[[Marge in Chains]]", a factory worker in Osaka came down with it, but showed up to work anyway. He then coughed a visible cloud of germs into a box, which was sent to Springfield, along with several other contaminated boxes, starting a town-wide epidemic that infected many citizens including Homer, Bart, Patty, Selma, Principal Skinner, Chief Wiggum, and Todd Flanders.

Its main symptoms are fever and coughing, but it can also cause lethargy, loss of consciousness (such as with Skinner) and delirium (such as with Todd).

Several citizens tried to protect themselves from the Osaka flu, such as Mayor Quimby who secretly left town to go to the beach, and Mr. Burns who tried to seal himself in a dome, only for Homer to already be there.

A crowd of infected people demanded a cure from Dr. Hibbert, but he told them that the only cure was bed rest and anything else would be a placebo. They ransacked his van to search for "placebos" and released a swarm of killer bees, one of which a man ate. He thought it had cured him, but then it stung him.

=== ''Ovulicious'' ===
A portmanteau of "ovulation" and "delicious." (''See [[#Sacrilicious|sacrilicious]]''.)

When [[Apu]]'s wife Manjula gives birth to octuplets, Apu confesses to secretly giving his wife fertility drugs. Several of the Simpsons admit that they had done the same, and Homer says "Mine tasted like strawberry." He pops one of the pills into his mouth, moaning "Mmm, '''ovulicious'''!".

== P ==
=== ''Paleosexologist'' ===
In "[[C.E. D'oh]]", Dr. Hibbert is teaching the classmates at [[Springfield Extension School]] about the theory of stripping, but was interrupted by Homer. The most likely definition would be the historical studies of sex.

=== ''Paraplegiarino'' ===
[[Flanders]]' euphemism for a paraplegic. From ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''.

'''[[Flanders]]:''' Uh, Homer? I don't mean to be a [[#nervous pervis|nervous pervis]], but if he falls, couldn't that make your son a '''paraplegiarino'''?

=== ''Pasghetti'' ===

:'''Edna Krabappel:''' Well, children, our new ultra-hard Posturefect chairs have arrived. They've been designed by eminent '''posturologists''' to eliminate slouching by the year 3000.

=== ''Pox Box'' ===
A term for a box in which somebody afflicted with chicken pox sat and other people would come and try to contract it.

In "[[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]]", Maggie caught the chicken pox and the Simpsons threw a "pox party" so that the neighborhood kids would catch chicken pox before they were grown.

Homer put Maggie in a box and said, "Introducing the Pox Box!".

=== ''Presbylutheran'' ===
Formally ''The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism'', it is the Protestant church attended by the Simpson family. Presbylutheranism was formed as a result of a schism with the Presbyterian and Lutheran churches over the right for worshippers to attend church with wet hair (a tenet the Presbylutheran church has since abandoned). A group of Presbylutheran ministers were also responsible for the approval of the stop-motion ''Gravey and Jobriath'' (a parody of ''Davey and Goliath'', possibly referring to the singer Jobriath); we see one episode in which Gravey builds a pipe bomb to blow up a Planned Parenthood. See [[Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism]].

=== ''Pretzeled Bread'' ===
Mr. Burns' word for pretzels.

=== ''Pricetaggery'' ===
''"To spoil the fun of buying something by noticing the exorbitant price"''; when Mr. Burns decides to make amends for his ingratitude after receiving the gift of life from Bart's blood, he takes Smithers shopping and then berates him for his '''pricetaggery'''.

=== ''Prudissitude'' ===
One of the cardinal virtues in Presbylutheran ethics, prudissitude is the disposition to be shocked or embarrassed by matters relating to sex or nudity. Expressions of prudissitude are commonly made out of concern "for the children". In the episode, "[[In Marge We Trust]]", Marge raises her concerns about Rvd. Lovejoy's ministry, telling him that "Sermons about Constancy and Prudissitude are all very well and good, but the church could be doing so much more to reach people."

=== ''Pull a Homer'' ===
''"To succeed despite idiocy"'', or rather, to have great amounts of dumb luck. After Homer does so in the episode "[[Homer Defined]]", this phrase becomes a temporary fad in the Simpsonverse.

== Q ==
=== ''Quantum Tunnel'' ===

A tunnel (that will be invented in the future) which does not physically exist, but traffic may pass through, by some quirk of physics. Future Homer drives his hovercar through the '''Quantum Tunnel''' on his way to Moe's Bar. It may be that the Quantum Tunnel replaced the '''Warren G. Harding Memorial Throughhole'''.

The name may be a reference to the real phenomenon of {{W|quantum tunneling}}.

=== ''Quetzalzacatenango'' ===
During the episode "[[El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer]]", Homer samples many different chilis proudly served by Springfield residents at the annual chili cook-off. Chief Wiggum prepares an especially spicy concoction for Homer containing, "The merciless insanity peppers of '''Quetzlzacatenango'''... grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum." "Quetzal" is a Central American bird and the currency of Guatemala. "Tenango" means in K'iche "land of". Acatenango is a volcano in Guatemala. "Quetzaltenango", also known as "Xela", is the second largest city in Guatemala. "Quetzalcoatl" was an Aztec deity.

== R ==
=== ''Rageohol(ic)'' ===
A fictitious substance that creates rage. From the episode "[[I Am Furious (Yellow)]]", in which Homer admits: "I'm a rageoholic! I just can't live without '''rageohol'''!"

Like workaholic, the word is based on alcoholic, using "oholic" as a suffix for "addicted to."

=== ''Rastafy'' ===
To make more Rastafarian. Used by an animation executive designing Poochie, the unpopular character added to Itchy and Scratchy, as a byword for coolness. Rastafy was previously used by hip-hop artist The D.O.C. in his song 'It's Funky Enough'.

=== ''Raytheist'' ===
Disbelief in the existence of Ray. Used by Ned Flanders in the episode "[[Don't Fear the Roofer]]". [[Ray Romano]] guest stars as [[Ray Magini]], whom Homer quickly befriends, but everyone else believes that Ray is a figment of Homer's imagination.

=== ''Rear Admiral'' ===
Its full name is '''The Dreaded Rear Admiral:''' a fictitious school bully prank mentioned by [[Milhouse]] in "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". From the context, it sounds like it may be related to the {{W|Wedgie}}, but according to the writers, it doesn't actually exist.<ref name=Rear>[http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/1F04.html Summary of THOH IV at <nowiki>simpsonsarchive.com</nowiki>]</ref>

:'''Milhouse:''' If I lean over, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet willies, or even the dreaded '''rear admiral'''!

=== ''Rebigulator'' ===
In the "Genesis Tub" part of the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]", Lisa asks if she will ever be able to become normal size after Professor Frink uses the Debigulator on her. In response Frink says, "Why that would require some sort of '''rebigulator'''!".

=== ''Re-Dorkulated'' ===
In "[[The Blunder Years]]", a hypnotist turns [[Professor Frink]] into a suave ladies man, which suggests strongly that Frink's character is modeled on Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professor/Buddy Love very closely. When the spell wears off Frink says, "Oh dear, I've '''redorkulated'''." Literally, the word means, "to become dorky again."

=== ''Re-Neducation'' ===
When [[Ned Flanders]] gains control of the world in "[[Treehouse of Horror V]]", this phrase is used to refer to the process of "fixing" those who have escaped Ned's control. The process involves mechanically forcing clients to smile and performing frontal lobotomies.

=== ''Retirony'' ===
In the episode "[[Homer vs. Dignity]]", [[Chief Wiggum]] explains to a [[Unnamed financial planner|financial planner]] that '''retirony''' means he'll get shot three days before retirement. Seemingly a portmanteau of 'retire' and 'irony'.

Based on a common cliché in crime and action films, examples of retirony are one of the show's longest-lasting running gags, as illustrated by these instances:
*"[[Saturdays of Thunder]]" — Homer watches a [[Rainier Wolfcastle|McBain]] movie, where McBain's doomed partner (an analogue to Danny Glover in ''{{W|Lethal Weapon}}'') is killed right before retirement.
*"[[Homer and Apu]]" — When [[Homer]] smashes the hidden camera hat used to spy on [[Apu]], [[Kent Brockman]] tells him that the hat had one day left until retirement.
*"[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]" — A man working at a marquee sign puts up a message reading "Today: Bachelor Auction. Tomorrow: I Retire, Ya Bastards!". Just after he finishes putting up the exclamation point, the man topples off of his ladder and falls to the ground.
*"[[Natural Born Kissers]]" — When a police dog sniffs a pair of Homer's underwear, it runs away, prompting Wiggum to say that the dog had one day left until retirement.
*"[[Homer to the Max]]" — A tree falls onto a police car, destroying it. Wiggum notes that the car had one day left until retirement.
*"[[Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"]]" — Marge crashes into a prison, freeing some inmates, and Wiggum tells her, "Those prisoners were one day away from being completely rehabilitated."

=== ''Reverse Vampires'' ===
Vampires that only come out during the day and sleep at night. First, mockingly suggested by Lisa in the episode "[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]" as to the reason why parents were going to bed early. Later added to Bart's Grand Conspiracy Theory diagram along with the Saucer People and the Rand Corporation. ("We're through the looking glass, people" comments Milhouse, quoting a line from the film ''JFK'').

In the ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' episode "Bus of the Undead," Master Shake refers to a supposedly vampiritic bus as a reverse vampire.

=== ''Reversifying Glass'' ===
According to Cletus's wife (and sister), Brandine, "mirror" is just "a big city word for '''Reversifying Glass'''" (From the episode "[[The Seven-Beer Snitch]]").

=== ''Rhinoceros pox'' ===
A condition resulting in horns growing all over the body. It was seen as an effect of the "anti-booze" serum in "[[The Last Barfighter]]". The name is likely a parody of the actual disease "chickenpox".

=== ''Riding the Midnight Train to Slab City'' ===
[[Moe Syzlak]]'s euphemism for "dead". (From "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".)

=== ''Rock and/or Roll'' ===
[[Reverend Lovejoy]]'s bizarre term for rock 'n' roll music. Heard in "[[Bart Sells His Soul]]" when [[Bart]] pranked the [[First Church of Springfield|church]] by slipping "{{W|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida}}" (a classic rock tune by {{W|Iron Butterfly}}) into the music for a Sunday service by disguising it as a hymn, "[[In the Garden of Eden]]" by "I. Ron Butterfly". Shortly after the organ solo began, Lovejoy became suspicious and said, "Wait a minute ... This sounds like '''rock and/or roll'''!"

== S ==
=== ''Sacrilicious'' ===
Homer's description of his act after eating a waffle that Bart threw on the ceiling, which he was praying to as if it were God. In the episode's DVD commentary, the writers stated that it was related to a disgusting candy on the ceiling of the writing room. The word is a portmanteau of the words ''sacrilegious'' and ''delicious''. From the episode "[[Homer Loves Flanders]]".

=== ''Sally Housecoat'' ===
C. Charles Montgomery Burns' condescending dismissal of ordinary, middle or working-class women. Used along with "Johnny Lunchpail" From the episode "[[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]".

=== ''Sandal-wearing goldfish tenders'' ===
The Japanese, as described by [[Mr. Burns|Mr. Burns']] grandfather in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]".

=== ''Saxamaphone'' ===
Homer's word for Lisa's favorite instrument.

He also seems to be unable to pronounce several other instruments. In "[[Lisa's Sax]]" where Homer tells Lisa the story of how she got her sax, he suggests a few other potential instruments: ''oboe-ma-bo'', ''vio-mo-lin'' and ''tuba-ma-ba''.

This is an example of Mytacism, or "Too frequent use of the letter m, or of the sound represented by it."

During Lisa's absence in "[[Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily]]", Homer attempted to "play" Lisa's baritone saxophone in her memory by singing "'''Saxamaphone'''" to the tune of the initial motif from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony into the instrument.

=== ''Scalpal'' ===
Relating to the scalp. See also [[Made-up words#Chestal|chestal]].

:'''Skinner:''' What kind of parents would allow such a lapse in '''scalpal''' hygiene?

=== ''Science Pole'' ===
A long pole, usually made of metal, used for scientific purposes.

:'''Scientist:''' Frink, are you mad?! Put down that '''science pole'''!

=== ''Scientician'' ===
An incorrect name for a scientist. From the "educational" film ''[[Meat and You: Partners in Freedom]]'', featured in "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]":

:'''Jimmy:''' Uhh, Mr. McClure? I have a ''crazy'' friend who says it's wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?
:[[Troy McClure|'''Troy''']]: No, just ignorant. You see, your crazy friend never heard of "The Food Chain." Just ask this '''scientician'''.
:'''"Scientician":''' ''[Looks up from microscope]'' Uh -
:'''Troy:''' He'll tell you that, in nature, one creature invariably eats another creature to survive.

Probably a combination of the words 'science' or 'scientist' and the -cian ending of such words as 'dietician', 'physician', or 'statistician'.

=== ''Scotchtoberfest'' ===
{{Main|Scotchtoberfest}}
'''''Scotchtoberfest''''' is a fake Scottish festival which was featured in the episode "[[Bart's Girlfriend]]". It was invented by Principal [[Seymour Skinner]] to catch Bart red-handed in the act of perpetrating a prank, as is Bart's perennial wont. [[Groundskeeper Willy]], the Scottish school janitor, plays the bagpipes whilst wearing a kilt. Bart lifts his kilt with helium balloons, and since Willy wears his kilt without underpants, at least one woman faints at the sight.
:'''Skinner:''' There's no such thing as '''Scotchtoberfest'''.
:'''Willie:''' [''sounding genuinely surprised''] There's not?! Ya used me, Skinner. Ya used me!

It is a play on [[Oktoberfest]] held in [[Munich]], Germany originally every October, but moved to September for better weather.

=== ''Screamapillar'' ===
{{main|Screamapillar}}
A caterpillar that screams nearly all the time, even as it sleeps. Without constant reassurement, it will die, and it is sexually attracted to fire. It is endangered and illegal to kill one, despite the fact that it is a menace and that there are so many ways it can be killed. As Homer puts it, "You sure God doesn't ''want'' it to die?"

=== ''Scrod Basket'' ===
The fictional town of Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport is called "America's scrod basket" in "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]". Conversely, Springfield is "America's Crud Bucket", according to Newsweek. Scrod means "A young cod or haddock, especially one split and boned for cooking as the catch of the day," so a scrod basket could be a type of fish container, or, in this context, a place producing lots of fish (Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport appears to be on the coast, so this is feasible). This could also refer to fish and chips, a meal that is often served in coastal towns in a plastic basket with scrod as the fish - hence "scrod basket."

*'''Lisa:'''So where are we going anyway? '''Marge:'''Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport. Apparently it's America's Scrod basket. '''Bart:'''I thought Springfield was America's Scrod basket. '''Marge:'''No, Springfield is America's crud bucket. At least, according to Newsweek.

=== ''Senseless Dunderpate'' ===
A useless stupid person, according to Mr. Burns, who used the term in reference to [[Homer]] in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]".

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' My name is the return address, you senseless dunderpate! Smithers, who is this nincompoop?

"Dunderhead" is a derogatory term for a person of lesser intelligence, and "pate" is an old-fashioned word for "head". Having Burns call someone a "dunderpate", therefore, is yet another reference to his advanced age and his propensity for using archaic words and expressions.

=== ''Sentimonies'' ===
A synonym for "sentiments". [[Homer Simpson]] uses it when agreeing with Moe about immigrants' poor English, despite proving himself to have a poor grasp of the language himself.

=== ''She U.I.'' ===
A D.U.I. (driving under the influence) committed by a woman.

:'''Chief Wiggum:''' This D.U.I. is a She U.I.! ("[[Co-Dependent's Day]]")

=== ''Shinning'' ===
A play on the mispronunciation of the word "Shining" as a reference to the sixth sense, as in the Stephen King novel and Stanley Kubrick film ''[[The Shining]]''. It appears in episode "[[Treehouse of Horror V]]". But as Willie stated that it was so they wouldn't get sued.

:'''Groundskeeper Willie:''' Boy, you read my thoughts! You've got the '''Shinning'''.
:'''Bart:''' You mean ''Shining''.
:'''Groundskeeper Willie:''' Shhh! Do ya' want to get sued?

=== ''Shirkaday'' ===
In "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", while he and Mr. Burns are riding a tandem bicycle, Smithers is stung by a bee and goes into anaphylactic shock. To save his lackey, Mr. Burns employs an insult-based motivational technique to inspire Smithers to pedal them both to the hospital. As they collapse upon arrival at the hospital, with his last gasp Mr. Burns calls Smithers a "wretched '''shirkaday'''." From "to shirk," meaning to avoid duty or responsibility, plus "workaday."

=== ''Shirt-wiener'' ===
A shirt tail sticking out of an open pants zipper, from "[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]". While hunting for a winning photo to be hung in the school lobby for the rest of the year, the Springfield Elementary Photo Club saw that Principal Skinner's zipper was down and his shirt tail was sticking out. Nelson declared, "Look! The Principal has a '''shirt-wiener'''!" Much photo snapping quickly ensued, to the chagrin of Skinner.

=== ''Shiva H. Vishnu'' ===
An expression of surprise used by Apu, a Hindu. Obvious reference to "Jesus H. Christ".

=== ''Simpson butt'' ===
According to Homer in "[[Sleeping with the Enemy]]", this is a body type that every Simpson has, characterised by a round butt.

=== ''Sisterectomy'' ===
The act of removing one's sister as mentioned in Bart's prank phone calls in the episode "[[My Sister, My Sitter]]".

=== ''Skanks for nothing'' ===
A ruder version of "thanks for nothing".

=== ''Skittlebrau'' ===

:'''Homer:''' "I'm feelin' low, Apu. You got any of that beer that has candy floating in it, you know, Skittlebrau?"
:'''Apu:''' "Such a product does not exist, sir! You must have dreamed it."
:'''Homer:''' "Oh. Well then, just gimme a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles."

=== ''Smarch'' ===
{{Main|Smarch}}
The 13th month of the year, which exists only on Springfield Elementary's misprinted calendars. Many Simpsons merchandise calendars also feature Smarch as a "bonus" month.

'''Homer: '''Lousy '''Smarch''' weather!

=== ''Smashy Smashy'' ===
Used to inform others of your intentions to wantonly destroy an object or objects, or to encourage others to do so.

After smashing a window with cameras behind it.
Bart: Smashy, smashy.(smashes a random window)
Marge: Hmm, I don't approve of that.

From the episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land".

=== ''Smeckler's Powder'' ===
A fictional treatment option suggested in jest by Bart in "[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]", to mock Grampa's and Grandma Jackie's competing suggestions for a medicinal response to Maggie's frightened reaction to flashbulbs, candles, and a darkened room during her birthday party. Said suggestions included: "Lister's Carbolic Unguent" on a wad of cotton, placed in Maggie's ear (from Grampa); a "balsam specific" (from Grandma Jackie); and a "curative galvanic belt" (facetiously from Grampa). This is a reference to unregulated (pre-FDA) early 20th Century pharmacological quackery.

=== ''Smell Ya Later'' ===
Phrase coined by Nelson Muntz in the episode "[[Bart to the Future]]". Another way to say 'see ya later' or 'goodbye.'

:'''Bart:''' I can't believe 'smell ya later' replaced 'goodbye'.

=== ''Smendler'' ===
A word made up by Mr. Burns in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]" for a song parodying Dr. Seuss's ''The Grinch'':
:''"Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing They're not sad at all. They're actually singing! They sing without juicers They sing without blenders They sing without [[#Flunger|flungers]], [[#Capdabbler|capdabblers]] and '''smendlers!'''"''

The word is also used by Professor Frink's father after being given an unspecified type of hors d'œuvre possibly containing fish.
:'''Frink's father:''' Mmmm, that's a good '''smendler'''.
:'''Professor Frink:''' Oh, I've waited so long to hear you say that again! ...What does it mean? Is it dirty?

=== ''Smitily'' ===
An adverb which describes of triumph over another knight in battle, to the point where a doctor needs to be called. Origin is allegedly pure Flanders. Said by Ned to Smithers in "[[Lisa's Wedding]]".
 
''Zounds, I did thee mightily smitily!''

=== ''Smokesperson'' ===
A spokesperson for a cigarette company, such as Laramie Cigarettes' [[Menthol Moose]], or Joe Camel.

The American Cancer Society has used this term frequently in a recent anti-smoking ad campaign parodying "American Idol" entitled "America's Next Smokesperson".

Also used to describe Nick Naylor in the 1994 book ''Thank You For Smoking: A Novel."''

=== ''Snacktacular'' ===
In the episode "[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]", '''Snacktacular''' is offered by [[Edna Krabappel]] as an acceptable atomic weight for the element [[Made-up words#Bolognium|Bolognium]] as taken from a promotional periodic table provided by Oscar Mayer.

=== ''Snitchy'' ===
A person who snitches on others.

'''[[Milhouse]]:''' Bart did it! That Bart right there!

'''[[Bart]]:''' Milhouse!

'''[[Reverend Lovejoy]]:''' Milhouse, you did the right thing. Bart, come with me for punishment. You too, '''snitchy'''.

=== ''Snuggle dungeon'' ===
Marge's term for a BDSM dungeon.

In "[[What Animated Women Want]]", Homer bought a bunch of BDSM equipment, and Marge was dismayed at him creating a "snuggle dungeon".

=== ''Sophistimacated Doowhackey'' ===
Homer's term for a complex machine, used to describe Frink's matter transporter. i.e. "Bart, this is a ''highly'' '''sophistimacated doowhackey'''," proving that he can't even get the word "doohickey" right.

=== ''Speedholes'' or ''Speed Holes'' ===
In "[[Homie the Clown]]" while dressed as [[Krusty the Clown]], Homer is shot at by mob assassins (under the direction of Fat Tony) as he visits a car dealership. Asking about the new bullet holes peppering the vehicle he is interested in (after they shoot and miss), Homer is told by the quick-thinking salesman that they are '''speedholes''' to make the car go faster. (Homer responds knowingly, "Oh, yeah. Speed holes!") Later in the episode, Homer 'installs' speedholes in his existing car with a pick-axe, to the bafflement of Ned Flanders. The word has been picked up by many fans to jokingly describe the condition of run-down cars (specifically, those with holes in the body).

In reality, Buick cars are famous for having holes in the front fender, on either side. Originally they were used as air intakes but today the holes are decorative. However, more holes do indirectly imply a faster car, as on current models eight holes (four on each side) indicates a V-8 engine and six holes indicates a V-6.

=== ''Spiritual De-pantsing'' ===
[[Apu]]'s description for his karmic fall from grace, suffered in Episode 1F10, "[[Homer and Apu]]". In response to [[Marge]] asking him if he would accompany her to the Kwik-E-Mart for milk, Apu said, "I cannot go there. That is the scene of my '''spiritual de-pantsing'''."

=== ''Spokesrebel'' ===

A corporate mascot designed to appeal to the anti-authoritarian streak in children and teens. [[Lindsey Naegle]] used the term to refer to [[Scammer & Z-Dog]], the mascots of a line of snack machines that she was pitching to [[Principal Skinner]]: "These two '''spokesrebels''' were invented by the marketing team that came up with 'Hip-hopsicles', the urban popsicle!" ("[[The Heartbroke Kid]]")

=== ''Squozen'' ===
From "[[Lemon of Troy]]" as Milhouse's declaration of having squeezed all of the lemons at his lemonade stand.

:'''Milhouse:''' Gasp! We've squozen our whole supply. To the lemon tree!

=== ''Stabby'' ===
From ''"[[Grift of the Magi]]"'' and ''"[[The Italian Bob]]"''; the state or condition of being likely to stab.

:FAT TONY: I don't get mad. I get '''stabby'''.

:MARGE ''[on Sideshow Bob]'': He's getting that stabby look again.

=== ''Steamed Hams'' ===
An alternate name for hamburgers. In one of the segments from "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", a mishap in the kitchen forces Principal Skinner to tell Superintendent Chalmers they were having steamed clams. After Skinner sneaks back from Krustyburger with lunch, Chalmers confronts him on the change in menu. Skinner tries to pass off that he in fact said ''''steamed hams'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>, a regional term from upstate New York synonymous with hamburgers. When Chalmers retorts that he is from Utica, and has never heard the term, and that the nickname "steamed hams" made no sense because the burgers were "obviously grilled", Skinner's final stab at alleviating his discomfort is "oh, no, it's an ''[[Albany]]'' expression". To this, an inexplicably satisfied Chalmers replies, "I see," and ceases the questioning immediately. This is probably Skinner's best performance at dealing with Chalmers; at the end of the night, Chalmers remarks "Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham."

In the French Canadian version, Skinner tries to pass a hamburger off as "un ham vapeur," claiming that it's a regional dialect from the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec. Chalmers tells Skinner he's from Jonquière and has never heard the term "ham vapeur," but Skinner tells him that it's an Alma expression.

=== ''Stinkables'' ===
A generic term that appeared in the "Trash of the Titans" episode, referring to any article that emits a foul or unpleasant odor. When telling the voters what the garbagemen will do, one of the things is "Air out your 'stinkables'".

=== ''Successmanship'' ===
The practice of success through the use of "Megatronics"; Homer enrolls in Stark Richdale's extension class '''Successmanship''' 101, which gives him the "Megatronics: The 48 Tips to Corporate Success" tools needed to take over the SNPP. From "[[C.E. D'oh]]".

:[''Homer leaves the class and is reading the Successmanship book while driving'']
:'''Homer:''' "Step One, 'Live every day as if it were your last.'"
:[''cut to next scene: Homer sobbing inconsolably on the curb'']
:'''Homer:''' "Step Two..."

"Megatronics: The 48 Tips to Corporate Success" is a direct reference to the book "The 48 Laws of Power." Megatronics also appears to be an oblique reference to the engineering discipline mechatronics.

=== ''Suck Shack'' ===
Bart Simpson's name for Springfield Elementary. In "[[How the Test Was Won]]", Bart laments, "I can't believe we have to start another year at school. I never learned anything at that suck shack." Later in the episode, when Superintendent Chalmers is preparing students for a high stakes standardized test he explains, "Your scores on this test will determine how much money this suck-shack gets for years to come."

=== ''Sunblocker'' ===
A large screen that blocks out the sun over a large area. The Springfield sunblocker was dreamt up and built by [[Mr. Burns]] in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]". It was destroyed by angry residents in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]".

*'''Lisa:''' But you have recruiting ads on TV. Why do you need subliminal messages? '''Smash:''' It's a three-pronged attack: subliminal, liminal, and superliminal. '''Lisa:''' Superliminal? '''Smash:''' I'll show you. [opens the window, and shouts at Lenny and Carl, who are standing on the corner] Hey, you! Join the Navy! '''Carl:''' Uh, yeah, all right. '''Lenny:''' I'm in.

=== ''Suspicious Aloysius'' ===

=== ''Swedish Lunchbox'' ===
What [[Grampa Simpson]] used to call a suitcase in his youth.
:'''Grampa:''' Back in my day, a suitcase was called a '''Swedish lunchbox'''!
From the episode "[[Jaws Wired Shut]]".

=== ''Swishifying'' ===
The effect of the modern world, what with its TV and diet sodas, on the youth of today, as stated by keen-eyed observer of humanity [[Moe Szyslak]] in the episode "[[Homer's Phobia]]". Suggested remedies involve killing men, or, better yet, a deer, which [[Barney]] declares is "like killing a beautiful man".

== T ==
=== ''Tasty-Fake'' ===
A food product designed to look like something other than what it actually is.

In "[[All's Fair in Oven War]]", Marge enters the Ovenfresh Bakeoff with "Dessert Dogs" - hot dogs which are actually made of cookie dough "dogs", meringue "buns", cherry sauce "ketchup", and caramel "mustard". When she presents the idea to an experienced contestant, he refers to the idea as a "tasty-fake". It might be a reference to the Delaware Valley's popular Tastykake snack cakes. [http://www.tastykake.com/]

=== ''Taxitude'' ===
[[Lucius Sweet]]'s word referring to taxation, heard in "[[The Trouble with Trillions]]".

:'''Lucius Sweet:''' This is an egregious miscarriage with the taxitude!

=== ''Tex Avery Syndrome'' ===
An eye condition caused by high amounts of blood pressure in the eyeballs, which can be induced by stress. It is likely a reference to how Tex Avery's animated characters would have their eyeballs bulge out to enormous distances from their heads when they were shocked, surprised, scared or enamored.

:'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Now, Simpsons, I must warn you, any stress could increase the blood pressure in Marge's eyeballs, leading to what we call "Tex Avery Syndrome".

=== ''Texas Left'' ===
A direction that is referred to as "down" in the rest of the country.

=== ''Texas Penny'' ===
A hundred dollar bill. When Moe bets the Rich Texan a hundred dollars on whether Homer can defeat him in an arm-wrestling contest, the Rich Texan throws his hundred dollar bill on the bar and claims it is a Texas penny.

=== ''Texas Snowball Fight'' ===
An ice cream fight where you throw ice cream like snowballs.

=== ''Third World Loser Country'' ===
A term used by [[Moe Syzlak]] in "[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]" to describe a third-world nation.

=== ''Topwise'' ===
A direction in which one might seek to rotate the middle side of a Rubik's Cube.

=== ''Tracted'' ===
The opposite of "distracted", according to Homer. In "[[Diatribe of a Mad Housewife]]", when Marge wanted Homer to read her book, "[[The Harpooned Heart]]", Homer stated he couldn't get distracted. The prefix "dis" represents the opposite of the word to which it is attached, such as: disgrace - grace.

Since "distracted" means to not concentrate, then "tracted" apparently means to concentrate.

:'''Homer:''' No, gotta read Marge's book. Can't get distracted. "Distracted"... that's a funny word. Does anyone ever get "tracted"? I'm gonna call the suicide hotline and ask them.

=== ''Tramampoline'' ===
Homer's mispronunciation of "trampoline" in "[[Bart's Inner Child]]".

=== ''Traumedy'' ===
Perhaps spelled 'Traumady', '''Traumedy''' is a portmanteau of 'trauma' and 'comedy' identified by Dr Hibbert in the episode "[[Faith Off]]" as a syndrome of horrifying yet amusing injuries. Also a pun on the term "dramedy".

=== ''Tromboner'' ===
A term for one who plays the trombone. [[Dewey Largo|Mr. Largo]] the music teacher asks Lisa if she finds something funny about the word "tromboner" after she chuckles at a prank [[Nelson Muntz]] plays on [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]".

== U ==
=== ''Unblowuppable'' ===
The state or condition of being unable to be blown up. Describing his model rocket, Homer said: "The word '''unblowuppable''' is thrown around a lot these days, but I think I can say for certain that ... " and was then cut off by the rocket blowing up. ("[[She of Little Faith]]") This may refer to the people who confidently predicted that the ''Titanic'' was "unsinkable".

=== ''Unfaceuptoable'' ===
Used by Mayor Quimby to describe the dire straits the town found itself in after Homer became Sanitation Commissioner, requiring the implementation of the town's all-purpose contingency plan.

:'''Mayor Quimby:''' We must face up to the unfaceuptoable!

Most likely a reference to "enduring the unendurable" in Emperor Hirohito's [[Wikipedia:Gyokuon-hōsō|Gyokuon-hōsō]] speech.

=== ''Unky'' ===
'Unky Herb', the term [[Herb Powell]] wants Bart and Lisa to call him, since "Uncle" is too formal and "Unky" is cuter.

=== ''Unpossible'' ===
Spoken by [[Ralph Wiggum]] in the episode "[[Lisa on Ice]]", as a synonym of "impossible."

:'''Ralph:''' [''Upon Principal Skinner informing him that he's failing English class''] Me fail English? That's '''unpossible'''!

"Unpossible" appears in [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] play ''Richard II'', Act 2, Scene 2.

The word first came into contemporary use in Walt Kelly's comic strip ''Pogo''.

=== ''Up and Atom'' ===
Radioactive Man's catchphrase, used when he is about to spring into action. Coined in the episode "[[Radioactive Man]]". It is a play on the phrase, "Up and at them!"

=== ''Uppity Box'' ===
Cletus' term for an elevator (from the episode "[[Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife]]")

=== ''Velocitator'' ===
Mr. Burns's archaic name for a car's accelerator pedal. Burns attempts to drive a car for the first time while proclaiming he is sure the owners manual will instruct him as to which lever is the '''velocitator''' and which one is the [[#Deceleratrix|deceleratrix]].

=== ''Volleybrick'' ===
Volleyball played with a brick instead of a ball.

== W ==
=== ''Walking Bird'' ===
Another name for a turkey. In "Lisa v. Malibu Stacy," Grampa Simpson drones on with a rambling story about Thanksgiving:

:"I just used [my washtub] that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a '''walking bird'''. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called 'baseball'..."

=== ''Want-wit'' ===
A term used by [[Mr. Burns]], evidently as a synonym for "idiot"; literally, someone who is wanting (or lacking) in wits. In "[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]", Burns takes a driving test and tells [[Selma]], who is in the process of lowering the soft top on his roadster, "Stop that, you '''want-wit'''! I could get stung by a [[#bumbled-bee|bumbled-bee]]!"

=== ''Wellity'' ===
A goofy way of saying the word "well".

It was used by Homer to gloat in "[[Viva Ned Flanders]]" when he was glad that Ned was the one asking him for advice instead of the other way round. He said, "Wellity, wellity, wellity", which annoyed Ned.

=== ''Well-Wisher'' ===
Someone who does not wish you any specific harm.

When Homer asks the guys in the bar if they are his soulmate, Moe responds with, "I'm a well-wisher, in that I don't wish you any specific harm."

=== ''Whup-Tushie'' ===

:'''Marge:''' "It's time we opened up a can of Whup-Tushie on this situation."

=== ''Why You Little...'' ===
What [[Homer]] yells when he's about to strangle [[Bart]].

=== ''Widget'' ===
Mr. Burns's word for a generic object that is mysterious to him.

Note: this actually is not a made-up word [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/widget].

=== ''Wiggle Puppy'' ===
An imaginary dog made up by Ralph Wiggum, who can wiggle his tail to fly.

:'''Marge:''' Is that normal?

:'''Chief Wiggum:''' Oh, he's just playing Wiggle Puppy. I tell ya, that dog has had some amazing adventures...

=== ''Woozle Wuzzle'' ===
Spoken by [[Bart]] on Krusty's TV show after his rendition of his catchphrase, "I didn't do it!" for the umpteenth time yielded only a short, quiet laugh, a cough and some crickets. From the "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" episode.

Initially said earlier in the episode by Homer, hoping to exploit his other children for financial gain, as a suggestion for something funny for Lisa to say:

:'''Homer:''' Come on, Lisa, say something funny.
:[''holds a tape recorder with a microphone'']
:'''Lisa:''' Like what?
:'''Homer:''' Oh, something stupid like Bart would say. "Bucka Bucka" or "Woozle Wuzzle": something like that.

"Woozled" is also a colloquial term for "drunk; intoxicated with alcohol". "Wuzzled" is a possible variation.

=== ''Word hole'' ===
Used by Chief Wiggum in "[[Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming]]" to mean mouth.

:'''Bob:''' There. That's the last condom wrapper.
:[a jet flies by, blowing all the neatly piled trash away]
:'''Bob:''' Oh, I renew my objection to this pointless endeavor! Informally now and by affidavit later. Time permitting.
:'''Wiggum:''' Shut your word hole! We've got to get this place clean for the air show.

== Y ==
=== ''Yellow Fatty-Beans'' ===
What Grampa calls bananas. At the end of one of his trademark long, pointless speeches, he says, "...and that's why today, bananas are called '''yellow fatty-beans'''. Any questions?".
From the episode "[[Natural Born Kissers]]".

=== ''Yoink!'' ===
After appearing many times on ''The Simpsons'', "'''Yoink'''" has gained widespread usage as a verbal exclamation made when removing or stealing an object from its owner or rightful place. It can also be used as a verb: "I '''yoinked''' it." First used by Homer in "[[Duffless]]", when he snatches the wad of money he saved, by not drinking for a month, from Marge. Coined by ''Simpsons'' writer George Meyer. [http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/other/interviews/meyer00.html]

It is possible that "Yoink" is a verbal imitation of the sound effect (performed by a violin) which has been used to illustrate that something is being unceremoniously removed or stolen. The most recognizable example of this would be during the intro to "The Jetsons" where George holds out a dollar bill and "Yoink", Jane grabs the whole wallet instead. "Yoink" is a verbal declaration that a transaction has taken place, frequently to the consternation of the party relinquishing the article.

:''See also:'' [http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/guides/yoinks.html The Yoink List.]

=== ''You-know-what-icide'' ===
Spoken by Marge in "[[You Kent Always Say What You Want]]", and she was referring to suicide because she was afraid [[Kent Brockman]] would commit the deed after losing his job after the mishap with Homer.

== Z ==
=== ''Zazz'' ===
Used to describe that certain ''[[wikt:je ne sais quoi|je ne sais quoi]]'' that Bart has as an anchor of ''Kidz News'', and that Lisa, a much better investigative reporter, does not. From the episode "[[Girly Edition]]":
:'''Lisa:''' What is ''''zazz''''?
:'''[[Lindsay Naegle]]:''' Zing! Zork! Kapowza! Call it what you want, in any language it spells mazuma in the bank!
:'''Lisa:''' 'Zork'? What is 'zork'?
:'''Lindsay Naegle:''' I didn't say 'zork'. The point is, the camera loves him!

"Zazz" may possibly be a play on the word "pizzazz", meaning flair, zest or energy. [[Mr. Burns]] used the term to describe what happened when a [[Ping-Ping|male panda]] walked into a [[Panda-Monium!|prank]] that Burns had [[Homer]] (disguised as a [[Sim-Sim|female panda]]) play at the zoo: "Well done, monkey. That other panda gave some unexpected '''zazz''' to the festivities, eh?" ("[[Homer vs. Dignity]]")

=== ''Zuh'' ===
Exclamation used when one cannot comprehend a complex situation or statement. Used by [[Bart Simpson]], in the episode "[[The PTA Disbands]]", when Milhouse says to Bart: "Bart, you'll never get Krabappel and Skinner together again.
They're like two positively charged ions." Bart responds, "'''Zuh'''?"

The word was also used by Homer in the episode "[[The Frying Game]]" when he could not think of anymore similar-sounding exclamations.

'''Homer''' (upon seeing the corpse of Mrs. Bellamy): Wha? Muh? Buh?...Zuh?

"'''The Girl Who Slept Too Little'''" is the second episode of [[Season 17|broadcast season 17]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the three hundred fifty-eighth episode overall. It originally aired on September 18, [[2005]]. The episode was written by [[John Frink]] and directed by [[Raymond S. Persi]].

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis|After a protest against construction happening on [[Evergreen Terrace]], the construction gets swapped with the [[Springfield Cemetery]], which [[Lisa]] can now see from her bedroom window. Nightmares cause Lisa sleepless nights, and she starts to sleep with her parents. Lisa is then admitted to therapy to help her get over her fears.}}

== Plot ==
Noise from construction cause everyone in [[Springfield]] to protest. Soon [[Mayor Quimby]] moves it to where the [[Springfield Cemetery]] used to be and the cemetery is moved to the backyard of The Simpsons' house. [[Lisa]] is the only member of the family who has her room close to it. Lisa then can't sleep at night and ends up making a habit of sleeping with her parents. The next night Lisa meets a gravedigger resembling [[Groundskeeper Willie]] known as [[Gravedigger Billy]]. After a hand comes out of a tomb Lisa goes to Marge and Homer's room and makes a promise that if they go to the [[Springfield Stamp Museum]] Lisa will sleep in her room. When they get they're they find [[Lenny]] making a fortune using his yard as a parking lot much to Homers jealousy (not remembering having campaigned against the museum before.).

At the museum there is a lecture for [[Milton Burkhart]]'s book "[[The Land of the Wild Beasts]]" and an ad based on the book for a restaurant, The Hillside Wrangler. Lisa then feels that she can sleep in her room with the cemetery but is already afraid and sleeps in Homer and Marge's room. Homer and Marge then come back from a night with [[Apu]] and [[Dr. Hibbert]] and Marge tells Lisa she is breaking her promise (via "I Spy") however Homer mistakes it for the real game. Marge and Homer then spend a night in Lisa's room to find out how scary it really is and they contact a psychologist.
[[File:TGWSTlisacreatures.png|200px|thumb|right|The creatures in Lisa's 'nightmare'.]]
Marge and Homer then try to contact a psychologist at the psychiatric clinic [[Sit 'n' Weep]] on Psychiatry Row, where are many other psychiatric clinics, such as [[99¢ Shrink]]. There they find out that it is expensive and her fears are mostly going to be solved by herself as she was not nurtured enough as a baby and had to all but raise herself since they were so busy with Bart. Lisa, however, does not want to go see a therapist and goes with [[Bart]] and [[Santa's Little Helper]] to overcome her fears at the cemetery but Bart leaves and SLH runs away. Lisa then changes her mind but the gate is locked and Lisa is left alone. Luckily [[Chief Wiggum]] and [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]] are here but Chief Wiggum becomes alone and afraid. He takes off his clothes, and finds a Walkman under his arm. He plays it and dances off into the mist.

Later it is revealed that he got scared and climbed and hid in a nearby tree. Lisa in the meantime sees [[Dr. Nick]] who is pretending to be [[Dr. Octopus]] using arms he acquired while grave robbing, and tells Lisa she has a check-up on Tuesday and Lisa replies with "we go to [[Dr. Hibbert|a better doctor]]". Afterwards, Lisa is confronted by an owl and runs, soon tripping over and injuring her head on a tombstone. She then faints. Marge and Homer get home to find that Lisa has gone to the cemetery. They panic and are angry at Bart who was only watching cartoons and could not care less. Lisa then finds herself in a dream where she is swallowed by a skeleton pretending to be an elderly woman. She then finds herself stuck on a spider's web and confronted by a giant spider with Bart's head. The spider then tells her to meet her new "boyfriend".

A slug resembling [[Milhouse]] slithers forward and attempts to impress her with his slime buildings. Lisa screams and appears in a different location. She is in the "Land of the Wildbeasts". The beasts come across as funny to her and teach her that it is ok to be scared, regardless of how 'smart' you are. Marge and Homer then find Lisa and wake her up and they go home, happily ever after. Chief Wiggum is still clinging to the tree in the nude. Lou can not get him out of the tree and resorts to using a pizza bagel to get him down. In a flash, Wiggum is fully clothed and ready to go.

== Production ==

"The Girl Who Slept Too Little" was intended to be the season finale for [[Season 16]]. However, it wound up becoming a Season 17 episode as a result of [[The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star]] getting delayed following the death of Pope John Paul II, resulting in it becoming Season 16's actual finale, and this episode getting pushed back.

{{qf|Marge}} It's so sweet of you to take us out like this, Homie. Come on, kids, three cheers for your father! Hip hip--
{{qf|[[Lisa]]}} Mom, don't.
{{qf|Marge}} Hip hip--
{{qf|Bart}} We heard you the first time.
{{qf|Marge}} Hip hip--
{{qf|[[Homer]]}} Hey, I'm trying to drive here!

{{qf|Homer}} Two hours? Why'd they build this ghost town so far away?
{{qf|Lisa}} Because they discovered gold right over there--
{{qf|Homer}} It's because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everybody does everything.
----
{{qf|[[Bloodbath Gulch tour guide|Tour guide]]}} Founded by prostitutes in 1849, and serviced by prostitute express riders who could bring in a fresh prostitute from St. Joe in three days, [[Bloodbath Gulch]] quickly became known as a place where a trail hand could spend a month's pay in three minutes.
{{qf|Homer}} Three minutes? ''[whistles appreciatively]''
{{qf|Marge}} I never realized history was so filthy.
{{qf|Tour guide}} First on our tour is the whorehouse. Then we'll visit the cat house, the brothel, the bordello, and finally, the old mission.
{{qf|Marge}} Oh, thank heaven.

----
{{qf|Homer}} Hey robot, get your fat, metal ass down here!

----
{{qf|[[Grampa]]}} Can't get a good sarsaparilla like this back in Springfield. It angries up the blood.

{{qf|Grampa}} Up yours!
----

{{qf|Grampa}} How long do I have to live, Doc?
{{qf|Dr. Hibbert}} ''[chuckles]'' I'm amazed you're alive now.
----
{{qf|Homer}} It's not an operation, Moe. The doctor says it's just a procedure.
{{qf|[[Moe]]}} Nah, nah, no. Makin' polenta, that's a procedure. You're talkin' about deadly, life-threatening surgery, here.

{{qf|Homer}} I've been on that one. The taffy shop.
{{qf|Captain McCallister}} Good enough.

{{qf|Captain McCallister}} Welcome aboard [[The Ship of Lost Souls]].
{{qf|Homer}} The name on the back says "Honeybunch".
{{qf|Captain McCallister}} Arr, I've been meaning to paint over that.

{{qf|Homer}} Well, back on land, my name was Homer Simpson. And I guess it is here, too.
----
{{qf|Marge}} Aren't you going to give him the Last Rites?
{{qf|Reverend Lovejoy}} That's Catholic, Marge. You might as well ask me to do a Voodoo dance.
{{qf|Lisa}} Doctor Hibbert, I thought you'd located another kidney for Grampa.
{{qf|Dr. Hibbert}} {{Ch|Larry Hagman}} took it. He's got five of them now. And three hearts. We didn't want to give them to him, but he overpowered us.
{{qf|Grampa}} Don't worry about old Grampa. I'm going to a better place: Shelbyville Hospital. ''[tries to get out of bed but he can't]'' Oh, who am I kidding, I'm a goner.
----
{{qf|Bart}} Try not to move, Dad. You swallowed a lot of motor oil.

{{qf|Homer}} Oh, wake up, Ned. You think Maude isn't dating in [[Heaven]]?
{{qf|Ned}} You think she would?

{{qf|Ned}} Sherlock Holmes is a character.
{{qf|Homer}} He sure is!
----
{{qf|Homer}} So how'd you do tonight, Romeo?
{{qf|Ned}} Well, I just can't relate to the women of today, Homer. Ah, it's probably me. I'm about as exciting as a baked potato.
{{qf|Marge}} You're darn right you are! And you've got lots of other great qualities, too.

Made-up words

2026-10-20T01:58:31Z

MaxPower: /* Crayola Oblongata */

'''''[[The Simpsons]]''''' has used and coined many {{W|neologism}}s for humorous effect, many of which are only used once. The most famous example is Homer Simpson's signature annoyed grunt, "[[D'oh!]]".

Few of the following made-up words would qualify as neologisms from a strict lexicological perspective due to their extremely limited uses outside of the show. For those that have found their way into regular use, the route passes through the considerable fan-base where use of these words carries the prestige of pop-culture literacy among those who catch the references, just as among other cultural groups a clever parallel to a well-known phrase from the literary or rhetorical canon would be acknowledged.

The following is presented, then, as a glossary of words or phrases invented by the show which one or more characters use in regular speech, as though intended as real terms. This does not include names of characters, locations, or products.

|}
== A ==

=== ''Absotively notarino'' ===
A jokey way of saying "definitely not". "Absotively" is a portmanteau of "absolutely" and "positively". Possibly a variation on the spoonerized phrase "absotively posilutely".

In "[[Hurricane Neddy]]", [[Dr. Foster]] asks a younger [[Ned Flanders]] if he feels angry, to which the younger Ned replies uncertainly, "Absotively notarino".

=== ''Adultivity'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Adultivity}}
The state or condition of being an adult.

In "[[Much Apu About Nothing]]", [[Kearney]] believes that his fake "Charles Norwood" ID will verify this for him, thus allowing him to buy beer and cheap cigars: "Here's my ID, which confirms my '''adultivity'''."

=== ''Ahoy-hoy'' ===
[[Mr. Burns]]'s favorite greeting. It was originally suggested by {{W|Alexander Graham Bell}} as the greeting to be used when answering his new invention, the telephone. Thus, Mr. Burns using it to answer the phone is really a joke about his advanced age.

=== ''Ahoy there'' ===
Another of [[Mr. Burns]]'s greetings.

=== ''Al-key-hol'' ===
Marge's pronunciation of "alcohol" in "[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]" and "[[The War of the Simpsons]]".

A term for [[Canada]] coined by Homer in "[[The Bart Wants What It Wants]]".

:'''Homer:''' Why should we leave America to visit '''America Junior'''?

=== ''Appling'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Appling}}
The process of using Photoshop to add rosy "apple" to someone's cheeks and make them more attractive. [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] apples Mr. Burns face to make him appear more benevolent on the cover of a newspaper. Seen in "[[Fraudcast News]]".

=== ''Aserose'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Aserose}}
Possessing the qualities of a pine needle. This word was used in the [[Spellympics]] in the episode "[[I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can]]".

=== ''Assal Horizontology'' ===
A term for a medical procedure coined by [[Dr. Nick Riviera]] in "[[King-Size Homer]]".

[[Homer Simpson]] tries to gain weight to get on workers' compensation. While prescribing a diet consisting of a steady gorging process for Homer, Dr. Nick suggests that it be combined with '''assal horizontology'''. Presumably, he means lying down - or more likely, sitting on your ass in an almost horizontal position. Possible also that he means to gain so much weight causing Homer's ass to expand horizontally

=== ''Avoision'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Avoision}}
[[Kent Brockman]]'s conflation of the words avoidance and evasion in "[[Bart the Fink]]".

Brockman used the word on the air, and when someone attempted to correct him through his earpiece, Brockman angrily replied, "I don't say evasion, I say '''avoision'''." This is a reference to a William Shatner outtake where he argues with his director over "sabotage": "You say ''sabotage''. I say ''sabot-age''" (rhyming with the word ''badge'').

The term ''avoision'' originated in the literature of the anti-taxation movement in the U.S. in the 1970s; it was coined to get around laws against advocating or providing advice relating to tax evasion.

== B ==
=== ''Baditude'' ===
Attitude of a badass, as used by Bart in his introduction of Furious D, the racehorse in "[[Saddlesore Galactica]]": "He's the bad boy of racing. He's got attitude and baditude [Furious D whinnies] so show him some latitude and you'll win his gratitude. Only in America!"

=== ''Bagzooka'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Bagzooka}}
A bazooka that fires beanbags, as used by Lou in "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".

=== ''Banjoologist'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Banjoologist}}
An expert in banjo based musical styles.

In the episode "[[Home Away from Homer]]", Lisa listens to a radio program on obscure music, and hears the host refer to a guest as a '''banjoologist''', using "-ology" as the suffix for the study of a subject (or sometimes the subject itself, although this is technically incorrect).

=== ''Bartesque'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Bartesque}}
An invented French word that means "being like Bart" (i.e., mischievous).

:'''Bart:''' But it involves being a bit underhanded, a bit devious, a bit, as the French say: '''Bartesque'''.

=== ''Basegame'' ===

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' I'm going to take a '''bathiola''', and when I get back, one of you better be laughing.

=== ''Bazongas'' ===
A term for large breasts used by Marge in "[[Large Marge]]", after she accidentally got given a boob job.

:'''[[Marge]]:'''"What on Earth have you done?! My maguppies became bazongas!"

=== ''Beginualize'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Beginualize}}
A mixture of "actualize" and "begin", used by a counsellor teaching Marge and Maggie the C.R.I.E. method of baby independence when Maggie becomes too clingy. Episode: "[[Midnight Towboy]]".

:'''Counsellor:''' "Now her childhood can '''beginualize'''."

=== ''Beginulate'' ===
Used by [[Professor Frink|Professor John Frink]] as part of his pseudo-scientific jargon, merely as a more complicated verb form of "begin".

Its use appears in the "[[Treehouse of Horror XV]]" short ''[[Treehouse of Horror XV#In the Belly of the Boss|In the Belly of the Boss]]'':

:'''Frink:''' "Let the commencement... '''beginulate'''!"

=== ''Beheadbumped'' ===
Bumped on the head. Used in "[[The Wettest Stories Ever Told]]", when Ned Flanders is knocked unconscious by Homer's bowling ball from the roof.

=== ''Belly-Fruit'' ===
A term used by [[Brandine Spuckler]] for "baby", in "[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]". [[Cletus]] put the newest Spuckler baby up for adoption, but it turned out he had misunderstood Brandine so they returned to the adoption agency to reclaim the baby. When Brandine saw [[Selma]] holding the baby, she hollered, "Give me back my belly-fruit!"

=== ''Bembarassed'' ===
A mispronunciation of "embarrassed" spoken by [[Ralph Wiggum]] in "[[Smart and Smarter]]".

=== ''Be-musement Park'' ===
An amusement park that bemuses instead of amuses. Coined by [[Ned Flanders]] in "[[I'm Goin' to Praiseland]]".
:'''Ned:''' Oh, Maude, I've turned your dream of a Christian amusement park into a '''be-musement park'''.
:'''Homer:''' Don't say that, Ned!
:'''Ned:''' It is! It's a ''be''-musement park!

The phrase might also be intended as a play on letter grading from A-musement to B-musement. See B-movie. Whereas "B-musement" suggests the park is second rate and explains his strong spoken emphasis of the letter "b", "bemusement" suggests the attendees simply fail to understand the religious park's message.

=== ''Betsy Bleedingheart'' ===
A person or organisation who tries to get sympathy with the public.

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' A non-profit organization with oil; I won't allow it! An oil well doesn't belong in the hands of some '''Betsy Bleedingheart''' or Maynard G. Muskievote!

=== ''Big-boy cup'' ===
A regular drinking cup, such as an older boy or an adult man would drink from.

=== ''Blingwad'' ===
Unclassified transformed matter. Possibly a wad of bling.

:'''[[Krusty the Clown]]:''' I oughta replace it right now with that Chinese cartoon with the robots that turn into... '''blingwads'''! But I'm a lazy, lazy man.

(From the episode "[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]".)

=== ''Bloopy'' ===

A term used by Marge to describe Bart's bulging waistline

=== ''Blubber-in-law'' ===

This is a term used by Patty and Selma to denigrate Homer. It is a play on "brother-in-law", and the fact that Homer is fat.

=== ''Blue-icide'' ===

A term used by Patty when Marge's hair turned grey. It is a conflation of the words "blue" and "suicide".

:'''Patty:''' So it's true. Your hair committed '''blue-icide'''.

=== ''Blundering Numbskullery'' ===
Burns' insult to an assassin who can't do the job of killing Grampa Simpson.

:'''Assassin:''' [''after failing to kill Grampa''] D'oh! Not again!
:'''Burns:''' I can't take much more of your '''blundering numbskullery'''.

From the episode "[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]".

=== ''Blurst'' ===
A word typed by Mr. Burns' monkeys when they were sitting at typewriters attempting to write a book. They typed "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times" to the disappointment of [[Mr. Burns]].

=== ''Bolognium'' ===
An element on a highly inaccurate Periodic Table at [[Springfield Elementary]]. Due to their inability to afford an accurate Table, they have to make do with a promotional one from Oscar Mayer, which advertises their product in the information. The atomic weight of Bolognium is known to be either "delicious" or "snacktacular".

=== ''Boni'' ===
Plural of "bonus" and a linguistic wordplay (In Latin, the plural of "bonus" is "boni"). Used by [[Mr. Burns]] in "[['Tis the Fifteenth Season]]".

:'''Burns:''' All right, everyone, it's time for your Christmas '''boni'''.

=== ''Bonus Eruptus'' ===
A medical condition coined by Dr. Nick Riviera that is described as "a terrible condition where the skeleton tries to leap out of the mouth and escape the body" in "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]".

The term came to be when a frantic [[Abraham Simpson|Abe Simpson]] demanded to see a quack. Abe's symptoms included being "edgy", having "ants in his pants" and being "discombobulated". Dr. Nick also warned Grampa that if he didn't calm down to receive treatment, Grampa would give himself skin failure. Dr. Nick's prescribed treatment for Bonus Eruptus was "Trans-dental Electromicide," which called for a golf-cart motor and a 1000-volt "Capacimator". High voltage is applied to the patient's teeth, presumably until he is either cured or dead.

This is a reference to the common cartoon trope of a skeleton escaping a character's mouth in fright, and possibly a reference to the Ray Bradbury short story "Skeleton".

=== ''Boom Potatoes'' ===
A term used by the [[Spuckler family]] in "[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]" to refer to hand grenades which [[Brandine]] had brought back from [[Iraq]].

=== ''Boostafazoo'' ===
Physical punishment or comeuppance.

:'''[[Bart]]:''' Burns needs some serious '''boostafazoo''', right Dad?

=== ''Boo-urns'' ===
What [[Smithers]] tells [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Burns]] the angry movie audience is saying after a screening of his film "A Burns for All Seasons".

During the episode "[[A Star Is Burns]]", Mr. Burns asks his faithful assistant [[Waylon Smithers, Jr.]] if the crowd is booing his blatantly egotistical motion picture. Smithers, ever the yes-man, replies that they are saying "'''boo-urns'''" (i.e. "Burns"), and not "boo". When Burns asks for clarification, the crowd replies that they are indeed saying "boo", and not "boo-urns". After the crowd replies, [[Hans Moleman]] says that, in fact, he ''was'' saying "boo-urns".

:'''Hans Moleman:''' I was saying "boo-urns..."

Recently, the expression Boo-Urns has been used by Australian Soccer fans, in particular, the supporters of Adelaide United FC when 'Boo-ing' an opposition player.

=== ''Bovine University'' ===

A euphemism for a meat-packing plant. The term was used by [[Troy McClure]] in the vintage pro-meat/pro-slaughter film ''[[Meat and You: Partners in Freedom]]'', which was shown to [[Lisa]]'s class during the episode "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]".

:'''Troy McClure:''' When the cattle are just right, it's time for them to "graduate" from Bovine University.

"Graduating" is an obvious reference to the cattle being slaughtered and processed. [[Ralph Wiggum]], however, not only completely swallowed the film's propaganda slant but also missed the meaning of the term and said that he was going to go to Bovine University when he grew up.

=== ''Brain medicine'' ===
A fictitious medicine mentioned by Homer in an attempt to get Bart and Lisa to open the car's glove compartment.

Homer asks Bart to "open the glove compartment and fetch him his '''brain medicine'''" in the episode "[[Homerpalooza]]". The brain medicine turns out to be tickets to Hullabalooza.

The term "brain medicine" was also used in "[[Lisa's Wedding]]" by an insane relative of Lisa's fiancée:

:'''Lisa:''' I love that painting. Judging by the clothes, I'd say... seventeenth century?
:'''Mrs. Parkfield:''' Actually, Lisa, it's just Uncle Eldred.
:'''Eldred:''' [''fishing in an empty fishbowl''] I get me '''brain medicine''' from the National 'Ealth!

=== ''Brassafrax'' ===
Presumably an extremely antiquated cry of submission (as in "Uncle!") used by Charles Montgomery Burns's mother in the episode "[[Homer the Smithers]]". When Smithers wants to regain Burns's trust, he tells Homer to call Burns's mother and transfer the call to his office. Smithers's plan is to rush in and rescue Burns from what will certainly be an awkward phone conversation.

:'''Smithers:''' Hello, Mrs. Burns? This is Waylon Smithers, Jr.. I have your son Montgomery on the line...
:'''Mrs. Burns:''' That improvident lackwit? Always too busy stridin' about his atom mill to call his own mother. I'll give him what-fors till he cries '''brassafrax'''!

=== ''Bumbled-bee'' ===
One of [[Mr. Burns]]' seemingly antiquated alternative expressions referring to an existing term (similar to "iced cream", the original name for ice cream). In "[[Goo Goo Gai Pan]]", Burns takes a driving test and tells [[Selma]], who is in the process of lowering the soft top on his roadster, "Stop that, you [[#want-wit|want-wit]]! I could get stung by a '''bumbled-bee'''!"

== C ==
=== ''Cah-ta-hay Cheese'' ===
Bart's mispronunciation of "cottage cheese" in "[[The Heartbroke Kid]]". Bart was unaware of many healthy foods such as this when he was forced to live a less unhealthy lifestyle, and he consequently had no idea how to pronounce the food.

=== ''California Cheeseburger'' ===
A sandwich with a baby in the middle, first seen in "[[The Secret War of Lisa Simpson]]".

[[Chief Wiggum]] shows a group of touring kids a museum display of a hippie couple who are getting stoned and ready to take a bite of the "California Cheeseburger."

=== ''Capdabbler'' ===
A word made up by Mr. Burns in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]" for a song parodying Dr. Seuss's "The Grinch":

<blockquote>''"Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing They're not sad at all. They're actually singing! They sing without juicers They sing without blenders They sing without flungers, '''capdabblers''' and mendlers!"''</blockquote>

=== ''Car Hole'' ===
A common man's term for garage, coined by [[Moe Szyslak]] in "[[The Springfield Connection]]".

While "Car Hole" appears only twice in the series itself, it is often used by fans to jokingly refer to a garage, or garage-like structure. The phrase first appears in a conversation between Moe Szyslak and Homer Simpson, wherein Moe ridicules Homer for his use of the overly formal word, "garage".
:'''Homer:''' Hmm. I wonder why he's so eager to go to the garage?
:'''Moe:''' The "garage"? Hey fellas, the "garage"! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man.
:'''Homer:''' Well what do ''you'' call it?
:'''Moe:''' A '''car hole'''!

The phrase appears once more, as Homer Simpson expresses his shock, upon discovering a counterfeit jeans outfit has (inexplicably) taken up operation in his garage.

:'''Homer:''' [''gasps''] A counterfeit jeans ring operating out of my car hole!

=== ''Chazwazers'' ===
A fictitious Australian name for the bullfrog.

As the Simpsons depart from Australia, an [[Squeaky-voiced Australian teen|Australian equivalent]] of the [[Squeaky-Voiced Teen]] asks what the strange creature infesting his home country is called. Upon receiving its proper name, he responds, "What? That's an odd name. I'd have called them '''chazwazers'''."

=== ''Cheese-eating surrender monkeys'' ===
{{main|Cheese-eating surrender monkeys}}
A satirical and insulting phrase, referring to the collaborationist Vichy France regime's surrender in World War II.''' '''

'''Groundskeeper Willie''' (teaching French class): 'bonjourrrrrr, you cheese-eating surrender monkeys!"

=== ''Chestal'' ===
Of, or relating to, the chest.

:'''Bart:''' I'm all tense through the '''chestal''' area!

The word "chestal," in this sense, first became popular in the 1960s when Woody Allen used it in one of his [http://www.ibras.dk/comedy/allen.htm#Eggs stand-up comedy routines]. It then appeared in the episode "[[Bart's Girlfriend]]"

Also used: "neckal" and "scalpal".

=== ''Chester A. Arthritis'' ===
A condition resulting from excitement over studying President Chester A. Arthur. Lisa jokes about having just gotten over her "Chester A. Arthritis" before coming down with "Jebeditis".

:'''Professor Hollis:''' "Looks like you've come down with a serious case of Jebeditis."
:'''Lisa:''' "Just as I was getting over my Chester A. Arthritis."
:'''Professor Hollis:''' "Heh heh... y-you had arthritis?"

=== ''Chimpan-A'' ===

An ape. In a musical based on ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'', [[Troy McClure]]'s character claimed that he hated all apes from "chimpan-A to chimpanzee", as a pun on chimpanzee and the phrase "A to Z".

=== ''Chinese sky candy'' ===

Another word for fireworks in the episode "[[Trilogy of Error]]".

:'''Officer Lou:''' "There's enough Chinese sky candy here to put you boys away for a long time."

=== ''Chocotastic'' ===
One of the three neglected food groups, along with the Whipped group and the Congealed group, that Homer must concentrate on eating more of in "[[King-Size Homer]]".

This word has made its way into international culture, as there are Pop Tarts available in The Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe with the flavor of ''Chocotastic''. (Coincidentally, in the episode, Riviera recommends that Homer use Pop Tarts to replace bread in sandwiches.)

=== ''Clone-a-saurus'' ===
A dinosaur clone.

When Skinner wanted to write a story about a man who cloned a dinosaur and title it ''Billy and the '''Clone-a-saurus''','' Apu angrily yelled at him for using an idea that had already been used and giving it a bad title.

=== ''Clouseauesque'' ===
A combination of excessive clumsiness and ridiculously bad luck, in the manner of Peter Sellers' hapless {{W|Inspector Jacques Clouseau}}.
From the episode "[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]".

The French waiter, who accused Freddy Quimby of attacking him, says in the court room, "This is an outrage! I am not a clumsy '''clouseauesque''' waiter!" He then falls out of the window into an open truck of rat traps.

=== ''Commie-Nazis'' ===
Fictional villains [[Rainier Wolfcastle]]'s action hero [[McBain]] faces in [[Untitled McBain film|one of his McBain movies]].

While delivering [[UNICEF]] pennies to "the puny children who need them", the McBain's airplane is attacked. He picks up the radio and says, "McBain to base, under attack by '''Commie-Nazis'''." These "Commie-Nazis" combine Communism and Nazi ideology, and use a mix of the Swastika and Hammer and Sickle on a red background as their standard.

This phrase has long precedent in the form of "Commu-Nazi" as used by Walter Winchell. However, many viewers believe that this is simply a combination of two over-used action movie villains.

It may also be a reference to the Superman comics during World War II pitting the superhero against the "Japanazis", a cross between America's two principal enemies in the war.

=== ''Crackle-berries'' ===
Mr. Burns's name for peanuts in "[[The Regina Monologues]]".

:'''Mr. Burns:''' "Look, Smithers. Crackle-berries!"

=== ''Crantastic'' ===
A reference to an Ocean Spray advertising device, a portmanteau of ''cranberry'' and ''fantastic''. Said by the Squeaky-Voiced Teen as he is swept away by a tide of cranberry juice in "[[Homer and Apu]]".

=== ''Crap factory'' ===
Invented by Bart as a {{W|dysphemism}} for "stomach" after [[Nelson]] takes exception to his saying "tummy."

:'''Bart:''' "Its my tummy!" ''(Nelson glares at him)'' "I mean stomach! Gut! '''Crap factory'''!"

=== ''Craptacular'' ===
A portmanteau of "crap" and "spectacular."

Craptacular was used by Bart to describe the supposedly defective [[Christmas]] lights that Homer purchased in "[[Miracle on Evergreen Terrace]]". It is one of the more frequently used made-up words from ''The Simpsons'', and, like a few others, was in use before ''The Simpsons'' popularized it. Currently a yearly contest on Howard Stern show, where contestants eat and eat then weigh their waste over 24 hours.

=== ''Craptured'' ===
Homer's word for crap that has been raptured. He used it when he found Bart's room empty. Used in "[[A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again]]".

:'''Homer:''' Bart's been raptured! And his crap's been '''craptured'''!

=== ''Crayola Oblongata'' ===
The procedure of putting a crayon into the brain via the nasal cavity, a port-manteau of crayon producing company {{W|Crayola}} and the part of the brainstem called the medulla oblongata.

=== ''Crisitunity'' ===
A portmanteau created by Homer when Lisa tells him that the Chinese have the same word for "crisis" and "opportunity". The actual Chinese words for those terms are different but share a common character ([[wiktionary:危|危]][[wiktionary:機|機]] for "crisis", [[wiktionary:機|機]][[wiktionary:會|會]] for "opportunity").

From "[[Fear of Flying]]".

=== ''Cromulent'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Cromulent}}
A word meaning valid or acceptable, coined by [[David X. Cohen]] for the ''Simpsons'' episode "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]".

When schoolteacher [[Edna Krabappel]] hears the [[Springfield]] town motto "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word ''[[embiggens]]'' before moving to Springfield. [[Miss Hoover]] replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly '''cromulent''' word".

Later in the same episode, while talking about Homer's audition for the role of town crier, Principal Skinner states "He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance."

Based on the context in which Miss Hoover uses the word cromulent, we can interpret that she intends it to mean "legitimate", "applicable" or "appropriate." Principal Skinner seems to use it to mean "more than acceptable" or "more than adequate"; these usages would also (in an assumed lexical context) satisfy Miss Hoover's use of the word. Perhaps both characters intend it to mean "authentic", which would validate both uses of the word (e.g. "it's a perfectly authentic word" and "he embiggened that role with his authentic performance"). Lisa uses it later in that episode, when instead of telling the truth about Jebediah Springfield, she accepts that the myth and the made-up words have inspirational value. The word has a sort of recursive irony about it: as a made-up word it possesses none of the qualities that it describes.

Both "embiggen" and "cromulent" were quickly adopted and used by ''Simpsons'' fans. Cromulent has taken on an ironic meaning, to say that something is not at all legitimate and in fact spurious. Indeed the DVD commentary for "Lisa the Iconoclast" makes a point of reinforcing that "embiggen" and "cromulent" are completely made up by the writers and have since taken on a life of their own via the Internet and other media.

In the 2005 Xbox game ''Jade Empire'', the player meets a British-colonialist-styled outsider who uses made-up mispronounced words. When the player confronts the man with this, the man claims that one of the words he used was "cromulent".

=== ''Crotch dot'' ===
A red dot that appears on one's crotch, and is thought to be fatal (Chief Wiggum's uncle died of Crotch Dot). Seymour Skinner was suspected of having this disease, although in reality, it was a laser pointer used as a prank by Bart. From "[[The Dad Who Knew Too Little]]". Compare to "crotch rot", a slang term for jock itch.

:'''Chief Wiggum:''' "Hey you better get that red dot checked out, my uncle died of crotch dot!"

== D ==
=== ''Dash Hole'' ===
Another name for the cigarette lighter power socket.

This name was used by the automotive appliance salesman when asking Homer what he had plugged into his '''Dash Hole.''' From "[[Brake My Wife, Please]]".

=== ''Debigulator'' ===
A device for shrinking a person to microscopic size.

A Professor Frink-like character uses the debigulator to shrink Lisa to microscopic size in The Genesis Tub, one of the stories in Treehouse of Horror VII.

=== ''Deceleratrix'' ===
The service brakes on a car.

Mr. Burns attempts to drive a car for the first time while proclaiming he is sure the owners' manual will instruct him as to which lever is the [[#Velocitator|velocitator]] and which one is the '''deceleratrix'''. The word is formed by changing the word "decelerator" from the Latin masculine to feminine. From "[[Homer the Smithers]]"

=== ''Dickety'' ===
[[Grampa]]'s made-up word for twenty in the episode "[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]".

:'''Abe:''' Now, my story begins in nineteen-dickety-two. We had to say "dickety" 'cause the [[Kaiser Wilhelm|Kaiser]] had stolen our word "twenty". I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickety-six miles...

The word may have a faux "old timer" feel because of its similarity to the words "dicker" and lickety as in "lickety split." Dicker is a word for bargain that's sometimes associated with rural or antiquated settings.

In the Latin American version the word used is "tijiri", which has no actual meaning or similarity to another word.

The German version is "zwickig", which also has no meaning, but sounds similar to "zwanzig" ("twenty").

The term pokes fun at the common habit of replacing words during the anti-German sentiment of World War I, such as the replacing of Sauerkraut with "Liberty Cabbage" (according to Grampa, Liberty Cabbage was, in turn, known as "Super Slaw").

=== ''Diddly'' ===
(Also spelled '''diddily'''), [[Ned Flanders]]' characteristic non-word.

Generally speaking, "'''diddly'''", though not in itself a made-up word, is used by Ned Flanders in what linguists call a filled pause, a non-word which a speaker uses to take up time or space in a sentence, and which are sometimes used for emphasis. Flanders often uses "diddly" as an {{W|alliteration}} in his sentences, i.e. "What can I diddly-do you for?" or "Dee-diddly-lighted!" Flanders also seems to use filled pauses as a crutch to avoid swearing, as in "son of a diddly...", until he finally snaps in "[[Hurricane Neddy]]" when the inept townspeople of Springfield, in a disastrous attempt to rebuild his house, push him too far: "Calm down, Neddilly-diddily-diddily-diddily... They did their best... Shoddilly-iddily-iddily-diddly... Gotta be nice... hostility-ilitybilitydility ''aaaw hell diddly ding dong crap!'' Can't you morons do ''anything'' right?!"

Occasionally, Flanders will use "diddly" as a {{W|tmesis}} such as in the episode "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]" in his note at the summer house to the Simpsons ("Wel-diddly-elcome", to which Homer responds "He actually ''wrote'' "diddly").

It was also used as a familial word when the 'Flanders Clan' has a reunion, Jose Flanders says when meeting Homer, "Buenos ding-dong-diddly días, señor" (although [[Lord Thistlewick Flanders]] has to be prompted to say it, and does so reluctantly).

In the Latin American version, "diddly" is often translated as "-irijillo", an overly elaborate and ridiculous diminutive (e.g. "Perfectirijillo").

=== ''Disease Box'' ===
A term for a box in which a contagious person sat and to which other people would come in order to try to contract the disease.

In "[[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]]", [[Maggie]] caught the chicken pox and [[Homer]] put her in a box so that the neighborhood kids could catch it before they grew up.

He noted that "As with all disease boxes, results may vary."

=== ''Doctorb'' ===
Homer, in need of a triple bypass, sees an infomercial showcasing the surgical "talents" of Dr. Nick. In the ad, Dr. Nick gives the (presumably) toll-free number as, "1-600-DOCTORB", going on to explain that "...The B is for 'bargain'!" It is pronounced / ˈdɔkˌtoːɻb/

=== ''Dodgerock'' ===
A game of dodgeball played with a rock instead of a ball. At least one (brief) match was played by Nelson Muntz and Milhouse.

=== ''Dollareydoo'' ===

A term to describe Australian Dollars. In "[[Bart vs. Australia]]", when the [[Bruno Drundridge|father]] of the [[Tobias Drundridge|Australian boy]], whom [[Bart]] had called collect, saw the bill for 900 dollars, he exclaimed "900 Dollareydoos?!" and asked his son if he had accepted the call from America. When the Australian boy replies that he'd only accepted the charges because he thought it was urgent, the father confronts Bart over the phone, only to learn his son had fallen victim to a prank.

It is likely that the term "Dollareydoo" is a reference to the aboriginal instrument from Australia, the Didgeridoo or didgeridu.

=== ''Don'ter'' ===
The opposite of a doer. Appeared in "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".

'''[[Bart]]:''' Hey, some people in this family are doers, and some ''[he looks at Lisa]'' are '''don'ter'''s.

=== ''D'oh!'' ===
{{main|D'oh!}}

An exclamation of annoyance often uttered by [[Homer]].

In scripts and episode titles, '''D'oh''' is referred to as "'''annoyed grunt'''"1.

It may be argued that "D'oh" is not a Simpsons neologism, as actor [[Dan Castellaneta]] based the phrase on James Finlayson's similar utterance in many Laurel & Hardy films; however, Finlayson did not exclaim the term as Castellaneta does, but used it as more of a muttered whine.

=== ''Don't have a cow, man!'' ===
An exclamation and catchphrase of Bart that implies that the subject should calm down, or not get worked up about something. It was brought into pop culture mainly by merchandise, as is evidenced by the fact that it is only uttered by Bart on the show a handful of times in the first season ("[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]" and "[[The Call of the Simpsons]]"), and therefore were not self-parodying uses.

In the third season's "[[Bart the Murderer]]", Eat My Shorts and Don't Have a Cow are horses in a race. It isn't used again by Bart until the eighth season. In "[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]", in response to Homer's cartoon debut, Lisa explains, "you can't be cool just by spouting off a bunch of worn-out buzzwords." Bart replies, "don't have a cow, Lis!" In "[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]", Bart sings it along with "eat my shorts!" as part of his musical introduction in the variety show spin-off.

Occasionally, another character has uttered the line. In another self-parodying use, Apu, a vegetarian, shows off his t-shirt with the saying surrounding an actual cow in a no symbol in the seventh season's "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]". In the seventh season's "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]", After Bart's complaining that Lisa is acting like him to get friends, Lisa is overheard to say "Don't have a cow, man!" (and later "¡Ay, caramba!") to which Marge replies, "you haven't said that in four years. Let Lisa have it."

In the 19th season's "[[Apocalypse Cow]]", after raising a young bull to adulthood and saving it from the slaughterhouse, Bart comments that he can finally say he "had a cow".

=== ''Double-Bacon Geniusburger'' ===
A very intelligent person, used as an alternate lyric in Homer's version of the Grinch song.

"You're a Hero, Homer J. You're as crafty as a skunk! They'll thank you in the morning, for stealing Flanders' junk, Homer JAAAY! You're a '''double-bacon geniusburger''', and just a little drunk!" From the episode "[['Tis the Fifteenth Season]]".

=== ''Drunkening'' ===

[[Moe]] tells Homer he's late for his '''drunkening'''. From "[[Brake My Wife, Please]]".

In the episode "[[Lisa the Simpson]]", Lisa is writing in her diary after speaking to Grampa about "the Simpson Gene", which supposedly makes every male in the Simpson family stupid.

=== ''Dumpster Buns'' ===
Cinnamon buns thrown out into a dumpster.

In the episode "[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]", Homer wants to go to the mall to eat the day old throw aways from Cinnabon. While at the mall, Bart and Lisa run into their father eating out of the dumpster.

=== ''El Fisa-chiatrist'' ===
In "[[Havana Wild Weekend]]", [[Homer]] is eager to "put the Spanish [he] learned on I Love Lucy to use". He starts to improvise with "Lucy, you need to see el fisa-chiatrist", to which a Cuban guy responds, "Excuse me sir, we're perfectly able to pronounce 'psychiatrist'."

=== ''Electromicide'' ===
According to [[Dr. Nick Riviera]], the only treatment for [[#Bonus Eruptus|Bonus Eruptus]].

Dr. Nick's procedure is trans-dental '''electromicide''', a process of introducing severe electrical currents into the body through the mouth. The word electromicide is possibly a conflation of the prefix electro- with homicide.

=== ''Embiggen'' ===
To make something better. The opposite of belittle.

From a famous saying by [[Jebediah Springfield|Jebediah Springfield/Hans Sprungfeld]]: "A Noble Spirit '''Embiggens''' the Smallest Man", evoking the manner in which its antonym, [[wiktionary:belittle|belittle]], was coined by Thomas Jefferson. It is likely a creative conflation of ''big ''with the word ''embolden ''(to render bold; to hearten, to encourage). The quotation appears on the statue of Jebediah Springfield in front of City Hall.

The word was coined by [[Dan Greaney]]<ref name="CommentaryLisaIconoclalst">Commentary for the episode ''"[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]"''</ref> American actor and writer {{W|Wil Wheaton}} frequently uses this word in [http://wilwheaton.typepad.com his blog] when he posts thumbnailed images.

:'''Ron Howard:''' Well, it's a different zoo, containing animals ''you've'' never heard of.

A pie that is on the floor.

In the episode "[[Boy-Scoutz 'n the Hood]]", Homer is lured into a trap set up by Bart in which the bait is a pie on the floor ("Ooooh, '''floor pie'''!"). This saying has been adapted by some for various objects (e.g. "floor candy" or "floor clothes"). ''Floor [word]'' is used for an object which is on the floor when it probably shouldn't be.

:'''Kent Brockman:''' Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down eighty percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking nine hundred percent?

:'''Homer Simpson:''' Aw, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. '''Forfty''' percent of all people know that.

=== ''Glaven'' ===
A word used by [[Professor Frink]] when he's muttering. In one episode while he's shocked he says, "Great '''glaven''' in a glass!" or "Good glaven!" It is most often heard when Frink is in pain like "Oh, so much pain in the glaven!" (pronounced / ˈglejvn̩/) This is probably an adaptation of [[Jerry Lewis]]'s interjection "froyndleyven!", which, in turn, is presumed to be Yiddish semi-nonsense roughly meaning "happytime!" (cf. standard German "Freund", ''friend''; "Freude", ''joy''; "Leben", ''life''). The similarity to Slavic words for 'head' (golova, glava, glowa) does not account for the vowels or 'n' and is probably coincidental. Lewis's portrayal of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nutty_Professor Nutty Professor] is considered by many ''Simpsons'' fans to be partial inspiration for Frink's character, and Lewis did a guest voice in one episode as Frink's father.

:'''Frink:''' That meteor is headed straight for us, with the fire, and the impact, and the hundred percent chance of pain!... Pain in the glaven!!

Alternate spelling: glavin or glayvin.

During a routine disciplinary visit to Principal Skinner's office, Bart must call [[Moe's Tavern]] looking for his father, Homer. But when Moe answers the phone, Bart preempts the original purpose of the call and substitutes one of his trademark prank-calls. Instead of asking for his father "Homer Simpson," Bart asks for "'''Homer Sexual'''." With the prank thus launched, Bart quickly hands the phone to the Principal, who is shocked and dismayed to hear [[Moe Szyslak]]'s resulting tirade.

Later, when Homer marks Skinner as a possible mate for Selma, an imaginary [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heads-up_display heads-up display] seen from Homer's point of view (a spoof of ''The Terminator'' movies) identifies Skinner as a possible "homer-sexual."

Though not exactly the same, Homer proclaims it is time to "get Homererotic" when he is having himself photographed in suggestive poses for a gift portfolio for Marge.

More recently the term "homersexual" has been used as a parody antonym for the expression metrosexual (which means a heterosexual with stereotypical gay habits); in this context, "homersexual" refers to a gay person with stereotypical straight habits.

=== ''Hypohemia'' ===
Mr. Burns's rare blood disease, for which he needed a transfusion of Bart's blood in the episode "[[Blood Feud]]". The word stems from a combination of ''hypo'' (Greek prefix for "under" or "below") and ''hemia'' (Greek for "blood"). The proper term for lack of circulatory fluids, however, is ''hypovolemia''.

== I ==
=== ''Iddly'' ===
Sometimes spelled "iddily", this is another one of Ned Flanders's words, similar to "diddly" and "doodly", though not used as often.

In "[[Hurricane Neddy]]", Ned uses the phrase "Shoddily-iddily-iddily-diddly."

In "[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]", Ned murmured, "Iddly diddly" to himself over and over again while in the hot tub.

=== ''Iroquois twist'' ===

=== ''Italian-American Sauce Bread'' ===

A condition resulting from excitement over Jebediah Springfield. When Hollis Hurlbut, curator of the Springfield Historical Society, returns to Lisa with Johnny Cakes, she is acting strangely having just found "The Secret Confessions of Jebediah Springfield" hidden in Springfield's fife. Lisa attempts to disguise her behavior as "just the excitement of studying Jebediah," which Hurlbut characterizes jokingly as "Jebeditis."

Professor Hollis: "Looks like you've come down with a serious case of Jebeditis."
Lisa: "Just as I was getting over my Chester A. Arthritis."
Professor Hollis: "Heh heh... y-you had arthritis?"

=== ''Jebus'' ===
According to [[Matt Groening]], ''The Simpsons'' writers have an ongoing competition to write a line that "most represents Homer at his singularly most stupid". Most likely the current champion is Homer's faux term for Jesus, first mentioned in the episode "Missionary: Impossible." When asked to be a missionary, Homer replies, "I'm no missionary, I don't even believe in '''Jebus'''!". When the plane that is carrying Homer is taking off, he cries, "Save me Jebus!"

The Old Testament of the Bible mentions a people called the Jebusites, residing in Jebus, which was renamed Jerusalem after being conquered by the Israelites.

In popular usage on many discussion boards, such as [http://www.fark.com Fark.com] and [http://talk.guardian.co.uk/ Guardian Unlimited Talk], it is often deliberately used by posters as an implied "cut" or "chop" against Christians, particularly fundamentalist Christians from the Southern United States. Sometimes spelled "Jeebus" in this context.

Jebus has often been the Papua New Guinean patois for Jesus.

Among the people who bought the looseners were Homer, Principal Skinner (to give to Agnes) and Patty and Selma (to give to each other for their birthday).

=== ''Jumping Box'' ===

:'''Lisa:''' "It's jazz! Jazz! You don't even know the name of the thing you're stealing from me!"

== K ==

=== ''Kancel'' ===
A deliberate misspelling of the word "cancel." When Marge led a group opposed to the violence of [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]] and Krusty the Clown's showing of the series, a protester held a sign labelled "Kancel Krusty." Later, when members of the group protested the nudity of Michelangelo's David, the protester changed the sign to say "Kancel David." Also featured in the title of the episode "[[Krusty Gets Kancelled]]".

=== ''Killbot Factory'' ===
[[Kent Brockman]]'s openly-declared "more alarmist" name for the United States Army, an institution Brockman shockingly describes as a place where "hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill!" The term "killbot" has gone on to be widely used in ''[[Futurama]]''.

=== ''Klassic'' ===
A deliberately-misspelled version of the word "classic" seen in [[Krusty Komedy Klassic]]. It was misspelled to alliterate with Krusty's name, but the audience booed and threw things at him because the initials were KKK (which is also the name of a white supremacist group). Krusty himself noticed the troublesome initials seconds before getting booed and noted to himself, "KKK? That's no good!".

=== ''Knifey-Spooney'' ===
A fictional Australian barroom game seen in the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]". The game appears to consist of one person claiming that a spoon is actually a knife while his opponent attempts to contradict him as convincingly as possible. In a parody of a scene from the movie ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]'', [[Bart]] is playing with a pocketknife when he is confronted by an [[Australian man|Australian local]] who says, "You call that a knife?" The Aussie then shows Bart a spoon and says, "''This'' is a knife!" Bart matter-of-factly counters by saying, "That's not a knife. That's a spoon." The Aussie then backs down, puts the spoon away and says, "All right, all right, you win. I see you've played Knifey-Spooney before."

=== ''Knifey Wifey'' ===
A name used by Chief Wiggum for any woman who is known to have attacked her husband with a knife.

'''Wiggum:''' Here we are, [[123 Fake Street]]. Home of knifey wifey.

=== ''Knowitallism'' ===
'''Knowitallism''' (also ''Know-it-all-ism'') is a fictitious word made up by the faculty of Springfield Elementary School to describe [[Lisa Simpson]]'s precocious personality.

=== ''Knowledgeum'' ===
The Springfield Knowledgeum, a science museum "Where science is explained with brightly-colored balls", was visited by the Simpsons in episode "[[This Little Wiggy]]" .

=== ''Komedy'' ===
A deliberately-misspelled version of the word "comedy" seen in [[Krusty Komedy Klassic]]. It, like "Klassic", was misspelled to alliterate with Krusty's name, but the audience booed and threw things at him because the initials were KKK (which is also the name of a white supremacist group). Krusty himself noticed the troublesome initials seconds before getting booed and noted to himself, "KKK? That's no good!".

=== ''Krisis'' ===
A word used by Kent Brockman to assist in alliteratively describing the crisis that occurred at Kamp Krusty when it descended into a state of anarchy after a general revolt by abused campers.

=== ''Kwyjibo'' ===
{{Main|Dictionary:Kwyjibo}}
'''''Kwyjibo''''' / ˈkwɪdʒiˌbo/ is a word made up by Bart during a game of Scrabble with his family. In the episode "[[Bart the Genius]]", Bart puts "kwyjibo" on the board, scoring 116 points (22 points plus Triple Word Score plus 50 points for using all seven of his letters.) When Homer demands Bart say what a kwyjibo is, Bart replies, "A big, dumb, balding North American ape... with no chin." Marge adds in, "...and a short temper." At this point, Homer chases Bart away, causing him to exclaim, "Uh oh! Kwyjibo on the loose!"

'Kwyjibo' was used as one of the aliases of the creator of the Melissa worm, and is the name of a yo-yo string trick. 'Kweejibo' is a handmade clothing company in San Francisco.

Recently, Yahoo's online version of Scrabble was advertised on the Yahoo home page with a visual representation of letter tiles spelling out K-W-Y-J-I-B-O. Kwyjibo is also the name of a puzzle involving a Scrabble board in [[The Simpsons: Scene It?|The Simpsons Scene It]].

A lame female (a pun on Cinderella).

'''[[Bart]]:''' Skanks for nothin', '''Lamarella'''.

How an early Springfield settler describes a buffalo after seeing one for the first time, in the episode "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]". In the film ''Young Jebediah Springfield'', which relates the founding of Springfield, the group of migrants see a wild buffalo, with one of them proclaiming, "It's some sort of '''land cow'''!" Presumably a reference to sea cows, a term for manatees.

In the video game ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'', when driving with [[Cletus Spuckler]] he will yell "Move it, Land Cow!" upon hitting something.

=== ''Land Monster'' ===
An alternative name for groundhog, coined by an Adam-like Homer in the episode "[[Simpsons Bible Stories]]".

=== ''Liberty Log'' ===
Liberty log, according to Abe Simpson, was the name given to sushi during the second World War, and no one ever heard of it. This is similar to the term Freedom Fries.

=== ''Little Horse'' ===
A racing greyhound. The phrase started in ''"[[Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]"'' on a banner outside the Springfield Dog track, which read: ''Just Think of Them as Little Horses''. Homer adopts the phrase...

:'''[[Homer Simpson]]:''' Come on, you '''little horse'''!

=== ''LSD'' ===
Love for my son and daughter. In "[[Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily]]", Marge, apparently clueless about the drug that shares these initials, tells a social worker that LSD is the only thing she's high on.

=== ''Lupper'' ===
{{main|Dictionary:Lupper}}
When Bart and Lisa embarrass their parents while having brunch, Homer decides to leave and go to Moe's, stating he will see them at "'''lupper'''" (a portmanteau of lunch and supper). This rather obvious parallel portmanteau has appeared before in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Comics Archie Comics] and in the television sitcom ''Seinfeld''.

== M ==
=== ''Magumbos'' ===
A term for large breasts, spontaneously coined by [[Krusty the Clown]] in "[[Large Marge]]" when [[Marge]] flashed her enhanced figure to a crowd: "Wow! Look at those magumbos!" Fortuitously, it was the same as [[Stampy]] the elephant's safety word, "magumbo", which meant that Krusty's exclamation saved Stampy from getting shot by the police and [[Bart]], [[Milhouse]] and [[Homer]] from being devoured by Stampy.

=== ''Magguppies'' ===
A euphemism for breasts. In "[[Large Marge]]", Marge says to the doctors who gave her a boob job, "What on Earth have you done?! My maguppies became bazongas!".

=== ''Malonga Gilderchuck'' ===
A fictitious Australian word, used in describing how the bullfrogs are all over the place; presumably it is a generic term for an arbitrary, but common, location. Lisa and Marge are in the general store, and the shopkeeper is sweeping away all the bullfrogs, remarking, "These bloody things are everywhere. They're in the lift, in the lorry, in the bond wizard, and all over the malonga gilderchuck."

=== ''Malparkage'' ===
The state or condition of being illegally parked. In "[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]" Barney had left Homer's car illegally parked on the plaza at the World Trade Center. Homer then received a letter regarding this violation:

:"Dear motorist, your vehicle is illegally parked in the borough of Manhattan. If you do not remedy this '''malparkage''' within 72 hours, your car will be thrown into the East River at your expense."

This could be a reference to George Orwell's Newspeak, featured in his book ''1984'', where '''mal''' is a prefix for mistake, bad, or wrong. The following is a bureaucratic jargon quote (not actually Newspeak, but using Newspeak prefixing) from ''1984'' asking the protagonist to fix an error in Big Brother's speech on Africa:

:"times 17.3.84 bb speech malreported Africa rectify"

(Translated into standard English: "There is an error in the reporting of Big Brother's speech in the ''Times'' of 17 March 1984 with regards to Africa; it needs to be rectified.")

"Mal-" is also a Latin root word meaning "bad," and is used in several English words such as "malfunction," "malignant," and "maladjusted."

It could also be a play on the legal term "malpractice" in medical law.

=== ''Mazuma'' ===

=== ''Meth-taurant'' ===
A meth lab which Homer mistook for a restaurant in "[[The Food Wife]]".

:'''Homer:''' Marge! This isn't a food restaurant! It's a meth restaurant! A meth-taurant!

=== ''Microcalifragilistics'' ===

[[Homer]]'s mispronunciation and misspelling of tomatoes. ("[[Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner?]]").

=== ''Money Fight'' ===
This is like a snow-ball fight, only with wads of cash in place of snow-balls. It can be done with two or more people within close range of each other. Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers decide to have a money fight in the middle of a difficult conversation concerning the power plant's safety budget.

=== ''Moo-Moo'' ===
A childish term for milk. When Milhouse was drinking milk from a baby bottle, he switched to a cup, noting that "Men don't get their '''moo-moo''' from a baba; they get their '''moo-moo''' from a big-boy cup!".

=== ''Mormon Hold 'Em'' ===
Another word for bigamy which according to Judge [[Constance Harm]] (in the episode "[[Brawl in the Family]]") is legal by Nevada law. It is a reference to both the stereotype that Mormons are in polygamous relationships and the poker variant "Texas hold 'em."

=== ''Mr. and Mrs. Never-Spank'' ===
A term coined by Judge [[Constance Harm]] (in "[[The Parent Rap]]") for parents who are lax about disciplining their children: "Kids are running wild, [[Kent Brockman|Kent]], and I blame Mr. and Mrs. Never-Spank!"

== N ==
=== ''Neglecterino'' ===
Ned Flanders' typically cuddly and innocent term for a neglected child. The line was originally pitched by Matt Groening to be "abuserino", but was dismissed as sounding too harsh.

=== ''Neighborino'' ===
A Ned-Flanderized version of the word "neighbor." Possibly inspired by comedian Louis Nye on the ''[[Steve Allen]] Comedy Hour'' (1967), whose character Gordon Hathaway greeted Allen by saying "Hi, ho, Steve-a-reeno."

May also be inspired by Kimmy Gibbler's "Hola, Tanneritos" from the sitcom ''Full House''.

=== ''Nervous Pervis'' ===
A term for a nervous person. Introduced in "[[The Frying Game]]" by [[Mrs. Bellamy]]: "Oh Homer, don't be such a '''nervous pervis'''." Later used by [[Ned Flanders]] in ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'': "Uh, Homer?

The general who is divulging this information then terminates the cameraman.

=== ''Nucleon'' ===
Homer's stated place of work; mispronunciation of nuclear power plant.

A '''nucleon''' is actually a term for the particles of matter within a nucleus.

=== ''Nulecule'' ===

According to Homer, the mother of all atomic particles.

Moe is a contestant on the '''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire''' clone show '''Me Wantee''' and as his lifeline, calls Homer for help on which of "electron", "neutron", "proton" or "bonbon", is not an atomic particle. Homer begins a diatribe, "Well, it all starts when a '''nulecule''' comes out of its nest..." then Lisa grabs the phone and tells Moe that the correct answer is "bonbon". Moe follows Lisa's advice and wins $500,000. Moe then passes on the million dollar question and the Millionaire babes burn other half of the million dollars in a wheelbarrow.

The true essence of a '''nulecule''' and how it gets pregnant (and who or what gets it pregnant) and gives birth to atomic particles has not yet been explained.

=== ''Nuisancefon'' ===
Mock German, meaning a phone which causes distress.

In the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]", Bart dials several Southern Hemisphere countries attempting to discover in which direction their toilets flush. One of those countries is [[Argentina]], where Bart winds up dialing a man who appears to be [[Adolf Hitler]]. When the man can't answer his phone in time, he laments, "Ach! Das Beinfon ist ein... Nuisancefon!"

A euphemistic exclamation Marge uses when something bad happens.

:'''Marge:''' Aaah, nutty fudgekins!

=== ''Ny Mets'' ===

=== ''One Way Passage to the Boneyard'' ===
Horatio McCallister's word for an upcoming doom.

:'''[[Horatio McCallister]]:''' Arr, Burns, your scurvy schemes will earn ya a '''one way passage to the boneyard'''.

=== ''Osaka Flu'' ===
A variation on influenza, that originated in Osaka, Japan, hence the name.

In "[[Marge in Chains]]", a factory worker in Osaka came down with it, but showed up to work anyway. He then coughed a visible cloud of germs into a box, which was sent to Springfield, along with several other contaminated boxes, starting a town-wide epidemic that infected many citizens including Homer, Bart, Patty, Selma, Principal Skinner, Chief Wiggum, and Todd Flanders.

Its main symptoms are fever and coughing, but it can also cause lethargy, loss of consciousness (such as with Skinner) and delirium (such as with Todd).

Several citizens tried to protect themselves from the Osaka flu, such as Mayor Quimby who secretly left town to go to the beach, and Mr. Burns who tried to seal himself in a dome, only for Homer to already be there.

A crowd of infected people demanded a cure from Dr. Hibbert, but he told them that the only cure was bed rest and anything else would be a placebo. They ransacked his van to search for "placebos" and released a swarm of killer bees, one of which a man ate. He thought it had cured him, but then it stung him.

=== ''Ovulicious'' ===
A portmanteau of "ovulation" and "delicious." (''See [[#Sacrilicious|sacrilicious]]''.)

When [[Apu]]'s wife Manjula gives birth to octuplets, Apu confesses to secretly giving his wife fertility drugs. Several of the Simpsons admit that they had done the same, and Homer says "Mine tasted like strawberry." He pops one of the pills into his mouth, moaning "Mmm, '''ovulicious'''!".

== P ==
=== ''Paleosexologist'' ===
In "[[C.E. D'oh]]", Dr. Hibbert is teaching the classmates at [[Springfield Extension School]] about the theory of stripping, but was interrupted by Homer. The most likely definition would be the historical studies of sex.

=== ''Paraplegiarino'' ===
[[Flanders]]' euphemism for a paraplegic. From ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''.

'''[[Flanders]]:''' Uh, Homer? I don't mean to be a [[#nervous pervis|nervous pervis]], but if he falls, couldn't that make your son a '''paraplegiarino'''?

=== ''Pox Box'' ===
A term for a box in which somebody afflicted with chicken pox sat and other people would come and try to contract it.

In "[[Milhouse of Sand and Fog]]", Maggie caught the chicken pox and the Simpsons threw a "pox party" so that the neighborhood kids would catch chicken pox before they were grown.

Homer put Maggie in a box and said, "Introducing the Pox Box!".

=== ''Presbylutheran'' ===
Formally ''The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism'', it is the Protestant church attended by the Simpson family. Presbylutheranism was formed as a result of a schism with the Presbyterian and Lutheran churches over the right for worshippers to attend church with wet hair (a tenet the Presbylutheran church has since abandoned). A group of Presbylutheran ministers were also responsible for the approval of the stop-motion ''Gravey and Jobriath'' (a parody of ''Davey and Goliath'', possibly referring to the singer Jobriath); we see one episode in which Gravey builds a pipe bomb to blow up a Planned Parenthood. See [[Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism]].

=== ''Pretzeled Bread'' ===
Mr. Burns' word for pretzels.

=== ''Pricetaggery'' ===
''"To spoil the fun of buying something by noticing the exorbitant price"''; when Mr. Burns decides to make amends for his ingratitude after receiving the gift of life from Bart's blood, he takes Smithers shopping and then berates him for his '''pricetaggery'''.

=== ''Prudissitude'' ===
One of the cardinal virtues in Presbylutheran ethics, prudissitude is the disposition to be shocked or embarrassed by matters relating to sex or nudity. Expressions of prudissitude are commonly made out of concern "for the children". In the episode, "[[In Marge We Trust]]", Marge raises her concerns about Rvd. Lovejoy's ministry, telling him that "Sermons about Constancy and Prudissitude are all very well and good, but the church could be doing so much more to reach people."

=== ''Pull a Homer'' ===
''"To succeed despite idiocy"'', or rather, to have great amounts of dumb luck. After Homer does so in the episode "[[Homer Defined]]", this phrase becomes a temporary fad in the Simpsonverse.

== Q ==
=== ''Quantum Tunnel'' ===

A tunnel (that will be invented in the future) which does not physically exist, but traffic may pass through, by some quirk of physics. Future Homer drives his hovercar through the '''Quantum Tunnel''' on his way to Moe's Bar. It may be that the Quantum Tunnel replaced the '''Warren G. Harding Memorial Throughhole'''.

The name may be a reference to the real phenomenon of {{W|quantum tunneling}}.

=== ''Quetzalzacatenango'' ===
During the episode "[[El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer]]", Homer samples many different chilis proudly served by Springfield residents at the annual chili cook-off. Chief Wiggum prepares an especially spicy concoction for Homer containing, "The merciless insanity peppers of '''Quetzlzacatenango'''... grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum." "Quetzal" is a Central American bird and the currency of Guatemala. "Tenango" means in K'iche "land of". Acatenango is a volcano in Guatemala. "Quetzaltenango", also known as "Xela", is the second largest city in Guatemala. "Quetzalcoatl" was an Aztec deity.

== R ==
=== ''Rageohol(ic)'' ===
A fictitious substance that creates rage. From the episode "[[I Am Furious (Yellow)]]", in which Homer admits: "I'm a rageoholic! I just can't live without '''rageohol'''!"

Like workaholic, the word is based on alcoholic, using "oholic" as a suffix for "addicted to."

=== ''Rastafy'' ===
To make more Rastafarian. Used by an animation executive designing Poochie, the unpopular character added to Itchy and Scratchy, as a byword for coolness. Rastafy was previously used by hip-hop artist The D.O.C. in his song 'It's Funky Enough'.

=== ''Raytheist'' ===
Disbelief in the existence of Ray. Used by Ned Flanders in the episode "[[Don't Fear the Roofer]]". [[Ray Romano]] guest stars as [[Ray Magini]], whom Homer quickly befriends, but everyone else believes that Ray is a figment of Homer's imagination.

=== ''Rear Admiral'' ===
Its full name is '''The Dreaded Rear Admiral:''' a fictitious school bully prank mentioned by [[Milhouse]] in "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". From the context, it sounds like it may be related to the {{W|Wedgie}}, but according to the writers, it doesn't actually exist.<ref name=Rear>[http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/episodes/1F04.html Summary of THOH IV at <nowiki>simpsonsarchive.com</nowiki>]</ref>

:'''Milhouse:''' If I lean over, I leave myself open to wedgies, wet willies, or even the dreaded '''rear admiral'''!

=== ''Rebigulator'' ===
In the "Genesis Tub" part of the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]", Lisa asks if she will ever be able to become normal size after Professor Frink uses the Debigulator on her. In response Frink says, "Why that would require some sort of '''rebigulator'''!".

=== ''Re-Dorkulated'' ===
In "[[The Blunder Years]]", a hypnotist turns [[Professor Frink]] into a suave ladies man, which suggests strongly that Frink's character is modeled on Jerry Lewis's Nutty Professor/Buddy Love very closely. When the spell wears off Frink says, "Oh dear, I've '''redorkulated'''." Literally, the word means, "to become dorky again."

=== ''Re-Neducation'' ===
When [[Ned Flanders]] gains control of the world in "[[Treehouse of Horror V]]", this phrase is used to refer to the process of "fixing" those who have escaped Ned's control. The process involves mechanically forcing clients to smile and performing frontal lobotomies.

=== ''Retirony'' ===
In the episode "[[Homer vs. Dignity]]", [[Chief Wiggum]] explains to a [[Unnamed financial planner|financial planner]] that '''retirony''' means he'll get shot three days before retirement. Seemingly a portmanteau of 'retire' and 'irony'.

Based on a common cliché in crime and action films, examples of retirony are one of the show's longest-lasting running gags, as illustrated by these instances:
*"[[Saturdays of Thunder]]" — Homer watches a [[Rainier Wolfcastle|McBain]] movie, where McBain's doomed partner (an analogue to Danny Glover in ''{{W|Lethal Weapon}}'') is killed right before retirement.
*"[[Homer and Apu]]" — When [[Homer]] smashes the hidden camera hat used to spy on [[Apu]], [[Kent Brockman]] tells him that the hat had one day left until retirement.
*"[[The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons]]" — A man working at a marquee sign puts up a message reading "Today: Bachelor Auction. Tomorrow: I Retire, Ya Bastards!". Just after he finishes putting up the exclamation point, the man topples off of his ladder and falls to the ground.
*"[[Natural Born Kissers]]" — When a police dog sniffs a pair of Homer's underwear, it runs away, prompting Wiggum to say that the dog had one day left until retirement.
*"[[Homer to the Max]]" — A tree falls onto a police car, destroying it. Wiggum notes that the car had one day left until retirement.
*"[[Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"]]" — Marge crashes into a prison, freeing some inmates, and Wiggum tells her, "Those prisoners were one day away from being completely rehabilitated."

=== ''Reverse Vampires'' ===
Vampires that only come out during the day and sleep at night. First, mockingly suggested by Lisa in the episode "[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]" as to the reason why parents were going to bed early. Later added to Bart's Grand Conspiracy Theory diagram along with the Saucer People and the Rand Corporation. ("We're through the looking glass, people" comments Milhouse, quoting a line from the film ''JFK'').

In the ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' episode "Bus of the Undead," Master Shake refers to a supposedly vampiritic bus as a reverse vampire.

=== ''Reversifying Glass'' ===
According to Cletus's wife (and sister), Brandine, "mirror" is just "a big city word for '''Reversifying Glass'''" (From the episode "[[The Seven-Beer Snitch]]").

=== ''Rhinoceros pox'' ===
A condition resulting in horns growing all over the body. It was seen as an effect of the "anti-booze" serum in "[[The Last Barfighter]]". The name is likely a parody of the actual disease "chickenpox".

=== ''Riding the Midnight Train to Slab City'' ===
[[Moe Syzlak]]'s euphemism for "dead". (From "[[Lisa the Tree Hugger]]".)

=== ''Rock and/or Roll'' ===
[[Reverend Lovejoy]]'s bizarre term for rock 'n' roll music. Heard in "[[Bart Sells His Soul]]" when [[Bart]] pranked the [[First Church of Springfield|church]] by slipping "{{W|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida}}" (a classic rock tune by {{W|Iron Butterfly}}) into the music for a Sunday service by disguising it as a hymn, "[[In the Garden of Eden]]" by "I. Ron Butterfly". Shortly after the organ solo began, Lovejoy became suspicious and said, "Wait a minute ... This sounds like '''rock and/or roll'''!"

== S ==
=== ''Sacrilicious'' ===
Homer's description of his act after eating a waffle that Bart threw on the ceiling, which he was praying to as if it were God. In the episode's DVD commentary, the writers stated that it was related to a disgusting candy on the ceiling of the writing room. The word is a portmanteau of the words ''sacrilegious'' and ''delicious''. From the episode "[[Homer Loves Flanders]]".

=== ''Sally Housecoat'' ===
C. Charles Montgomery Burns' condescending dismissal of ordinary, middle or working-class women. Used along with "Johnny Lunchpail" From the episode "[[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]".

=== ''Sandal-wearing goldfish tenders'' ===
The Japanese, as described by [[Mr. Burns|Mr. Burns']] grandfather in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]".

=== ''Saxamaphone'' ===
Homer's word for Lisa's favorite instrument.

He also seems to be unable to pronounce several other instruments. In "[[Lisa's Sax]]" where Homer tells Lisa the story of how she got her sax, he suggests a few other potential instruments: ''oboe-ma-bo'', ''vio-mo-lin'' and ''tuba-ma-ba''.

This is an example of Mytacism, or "Too frequent use of the letter m, or of the sound represented by it."

During Lisa's absence in "[[Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily]]", Homer attempted to "play" Lisa's baritone saxophone in her memory by singing "'''Saxamaphone'''" to the tune of the initial motif from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony into the instrument.

=== ''Scalpal'' ===
Relating to the scalp. See also [[Made-up words#Chestal|chestal]].

:'''Skinner:''' What kind of parents would allow such a lapse in '''scalpal''' hygiene?

=== ''Science Pole'' ===
A long pole, usually made of metal, used for scientific purposes.

:'''Scientist:''' Frink, are you mad?! Put down that '''science pole'''!

=== ''Scientician'' ===
An incorrect name for a scientist. From the "educational" film ''[[Meat and You: Partners in Freedom]]'', featured in "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]":

:'''Jimmy:''' Uhh, Mr. McClure? I have a ''crazy'' friend who says it's wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?
:[[Troy McClure|'''Troy''']]: No, just ignorant. You see, your crazy friend never heard of "The Food Chain." Just ask this '''scientician'''.
:'''"Scientician":''' ''[Looks up from microscope]'' Uh -
:'''Troy:''' He'll tell you that, in nature, one creature invariably eats another creature to survive.

Probably a combination of the words 'science' or 'scientist' and the -cian ending of such words as 'dietician', 'physician', or 'statistician'.

=== ''Scotchtoberfest'' ===
{{Main|Scotchtoberfest}}
'''''Scotchtoberfest''''' is a fake Scottish festival which was featured in the episode "[[Bart's Girlfriend]]". It was invented by Principal [[Seymour Skinner]] to catch Bart red-handed in the act of perpetrating a prank, as is Bart's perennial wont. [[Groundskeeper Willy]], the Scottish school janitor, plays the bagpipes whilst wearing a kilt. Bart lifts his kilt with helium balloons, and since Willy wears his kilt without underpants, at least one woman faints at the sight.
:'''Skinner:''' There's no such thing as '''Scotchtoberfest'''.
:'''Willie:''' [''sounding genuinely surprised''] There's not?! Ya used me, Skinner. Ya used me!

It is a play on [[Oktoberfest]] held in [[Munich]], Germany originally every October, but moved to September for better weather.

=== ''Screamapillar'' ===
{{main|Screamapillar}}
A caterpillar that screams nearly all the time, even as it sleeps. Without constant reassurement, it will die, and it is sexually attracted to fire. It is endangered and illegal to kill one, despite the fact that it is a menace and that there are so many ways it can be killed. As Homer puts it, "You sure God doesn't ''want'' it to die?"

=== ''Scrod Basket'' ===
The fictional town of Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport is called "America's scrod basket" in "[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]". Conversely, Springfield is "America's Crud Bucket", according to Newsweek. Scrod means "A young cod or haddock, especially one split and boned for cooking as the catch of the day," so a scrod basket could be a type of fish container, or, in this context, a place producing lots of fish (Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport appears to be on the coast, so this is feasible). This could also refer to fish and chips, a meal that is often served in coastal towns in a plastic basket with scrod as the fish - hence "scrod basket."

*'''Lisa:'''So where are we going anyway? '''Marge:'''Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport. Apparently it's America's Scrod basket. '''Bart:'''I thought Springfield was America's Scrod basket. '''Marge:'''No, Springfield is America's crud bucket. At least, according to Newsweek.

=== ''Senseless Dunderpate'' ===
A useless stupid person, according to Mr. Burns, who used the term in reference to [[Homer]] in "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]".

:'''[[Mr. Burns]]:''' My name is the return address, you senseless dunderpate! Smithers, who is this nincompoop?

"Dunderhead" is a derogatory term for a person of lesser intelligence, and "pate" is an old-fashioned word for "head". Having Burns call someone a "dunderpate", therefore, is yet another reference to his advanced age and his propensity for using archaic words and expressions.

=== ''Sentimonies'' ===
A synonym for "sentiments". [[Homer Simpson]] uses it when agreeing with Moe about immigrants' poor English, despite proving himself to have a poor grasp of the language himself.

=== ''She U.I.'' ===

:'''Chief Wiggum:''' This D.U.I. is a She U.I.! ("[[Co-Dependent's Day]]")

:'''Groundskeeper Willie:''' Boy, you read my thoughts! You've got the '''Shinning'''.
:'''Bart:''' You mean ''Shining''.
:'''Groundskeeper Willie:''' Shhh! Do ya' want to get sued?

=== ''Shirkaday'' ===
In "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", while he and Mr. Burns are riding a tandem bicycle, Smithers is stung by a bee and goes into anaphylactic shock. To save his lackey, Mr. Burns employs an insult-based motivational technique to inspire Smithers to pedal them both to the hospital. As they collapse upon arrival at the hospital, with his last gasp Mr. Burns calls Smithers a "wretched '''shirkaday'''." From "to shirk," meaning to avoid duty or responsibility, plus "workaday."

=== ''Shirt-wiener'' ===
A shirt tail sticking out of an open pants zipper, from "[[Thank God It's Doomsday]]". While hunting for a winning photo to be hung in the school lobby for the rest of the year, the Springfield Elementary Photo Club saw that Principal Skinner's zipper was down and his shirt tail was sticking out. Nelson declared, "Look! The Principal has a '''shirt-wiener'''!" Much photo snapping quickly ensued, to the chagrin of Skinner.

=== ''Shiva H. Vishnu'' ===
An expression of surprise used by Apu, a Hindu. Obvious reference to "Jesus H. Christ".

=== ''Simpson butt'' ===

:'''Homer:''' "Oh. Well then, just gimme a six-pack and a couple of bags of Skittles."

=== ''Smarch'' ===
{{Main|Smarch}}

'''Homer: '''Lousy '''Smarch''' weather!

=== ''Smashy Smashy'' ===
Used to inform others of your intentions to wantonly destroy an object or objects, or to encourage others to do so.

After smashing a window with cameras behind it.
Bart: Smashy, smashy.(smashes a random window)
Marge: Hmm, I don't approve of that.

From the episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land".

=== ''Smeckler's Powder'' ===
A fictional treatment option suggested in jest by Bart in "[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]", to mock Grampa's and Grandma Jackie's competing suggestions for a medicinal response to Maggie's frightened reaction to flashbulbs, candles, and a darkened room during her birthday party. Said suggestions included: "Lister's Carbolic Unguent" on a wad of cotton, placed in Maggie's ear (from Grampa); a "balsam specific" (from Grandma Jackie); and a "curative galvanic belt" (facetiously from Grampa). This is a reference to unregulated (pre-FDA) early 20th Century pharmacological quackery.

=== ''Smell Ya Later'' ===
Phrase coined by Nelson Muntz in the episode "[[Bart to the Future]]". Another way to say 'see ya later' or 'goodbye.'

:'''Bart:''' I can't believe 'smell ya later' replaced 'goodbye'.

=== ''Smendler'' ===
A word made up by Mr. Burns in "[[Last Exit to Springfield]]" for a song parodying Dr. Seuss's ''The Grinch'':
:''"Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing They're not sad at all. They're actually singing! They sing without juicers They sing without blenders They sing without [[#Flunger|flungers]], [[#Capdabbler|capdabblers]] and '''smendlers!'''"''

The word is also used by Professor Frink's father after being given an unspecified type of hors d'œuvre possibly containing fish.
:'''Frink's father:''' Mmmm, that's a good '''smendler'''.
:'''Professor Frink:''' Oh, I've waited so long to hear you say that again! ...What does it mean? Is it dirty?

=== ''Smitily'' ===
An adverb which describes of triumph over another knight in battle, to the point where a doctor needs to be called. Origin is allegedly pure Flanders. Said by Ned to Smithers in "[[Lisa's Wedding]]".
 
''Zounds, I did thee mightily smitily!''

=== ''Smokesperson'' ===
A spokesperson for a cigarette company, such as Laramie Cigarettes' [[Menthol Moose]], or Joe Camel.

The American Cancer Society has used this term frequently in a recent anti-smoking ad campaign parodying "American Idol" entitled "America's Next Smokesperson".

Also used to describe Nick Naylor in the 1994 book ''Thank You For Smoking: A Novel."''

=== ''Snacktacular'' ===

'''[[Milhouse]]:''' Bart did it! That Bart right there!

=== ''Snuggle dungeon'' ===

In "[[What Animated Women Want]]", Homer bought a bunch of BDSM equipment, and Marge was dismayed at him creating a "snuggle dungeon".

=== ''Sophistimacated Doowhackey'' ===
Homer's term for a complex machine, used to describe Frink's matter transporter. i.e. "Bart, this is a ''highly'' '''sophistimacated doowhackey'''," proving that he can't even get the word "doohickey" right.

=== ''Speedholes'' or ''Speed Holes'' ===
In "[[Homie the Clown]]" while dressed as [[Krusty the Clown]], Homer is shot at by mob assassins (under the direction of Fat Tony) as he visits a car dealership. Asking about the new bullet holes peppering the vehicle he is interested in (after they shoot and miss), Homer is told by the quick-thinking salesman that they are '''speedholes''' to make the car go faster. (Homer responds knowingly, "Oh, yeah. Speed holes!") Later in the episode, Homer 'installs' speedholes in his existing car with a pick-axe, to the bafflement of Ned Flanders. The word has been picked up by many fans to jokingly describe the condition of run-down cars (specifically, those with holes in the body).

In reality, Buick cars are famous for having holes in the front fender, on either side. Originally they were used as air intakes but today the holes are decorative. However, more holes do indirectly imply a faster car, as on current models eight holes (four on each side) indicates a V-8 engine and six holes indicates a V-6.

=== ''Spiritual De-pantsing'' ===
[[Apu]]'s description for his karmic fall from grace, suffered in Episode 1F10, "[[Homer and Apu]]". In response to [[Marge]] asking him if he would accompany her to the Kwik-E-Mart for milk, Apu said, "I cannot go there. That is the scene of my '''spiritual de-pantsing'''."

=== ''Spokesrebel'' ===

A corporate mascot designed to appeal to the anti-authoritarian streak in children and teens. [[Lindsey Naegle]] used the term to refer to [[Scammer & Z-Dog]], the mascots of a line of snack machines that she was pitching to [[Principal Skinner]]: "These two '''spokesrebels''' were invented by the marketing team that came up with 'Hip-hopsicles', the urban popsicle!" ("[[The Heartbroke Kid]]")

=== ''Stabby'' ===

:FAT TONY: I don't get mad. I get '''stabby'''.

:MARGE ''[on Sideshow Bob]'': He's getting that stabby look again.

=== ''Steamed Hams'' ===
An alternate name for hamburgers. In one of the segments from "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", a mishap in the kitchen forces Principal Skinner to tell Superintendent Chalmers they were having steamed clams. After Skinner sneaks back from Krustyburger with lunch, Chalmers confronts him on the change in menu. Skinner tries to pass off that he in fact said ''''steamed hams'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>, a regional term from upstate New York synonymous with hamburgers. When Chalmers retorts that he is from Utica, and has never heard the term, and that the nickname "steamed hams" made no sense because the burgers were "obviously grilled", Skinner's final stab at alleviating his discomfort is "oh, no, it's an ''[[Albany]]'' expression". To this, an inexplicably satisfied Chalmers replies, "I see," and ceases the questioning immediately. This is probably Skinner's best performance at dealing with Chalmers; at the end of the night, Chalmers remarks "Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham."

In the French Canadian version, Skinner tries to pass a hamburger off as "un ham vapeur," claiming that it's a regional dialect from the Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec. Chalmers tells Skinner he's from Jonquière and has never heard the term "ham vapeur," but Skinner tells him that it's an Alma expression.

=== ''Stinkables'' ===
A generic term that appeared in the "Trash of the Titans" episode, referring to any article that emits a foul or unpleasant odor. When telling the voters what the garbagemen will do, one of the things is "Air out your 'stinkables'".

=== ''Successmanship'' ===
The practice of success through the use of "Megatronics"; Homer enrolls in Stark Richdale's extension class '''Successmanship''' 101, which gives him the "Megatronics: The 48 Tips to Corporate Success" tools needed to take over the SNPP. From "[[C.E. D'oh]]".

:[''Homer leaves the class and is reading the Successmanship book while driving'']
:'''Homer:''' "Step One, 'Live every day as if it were your last.'"
:[''cut to next scene: Homer sobbing inconsolably on the curb'']
:'''Homer:''' "Step Two..."

"Megatronics: The 48 Tips to Corporate Success" is a direct reference to the book "The 48 Laws of Power." Megatronics also appears to be an oblique reference to the engineering discipline mechatronics.

=== ''Suck Shack'' ===
Bart Simpson's name for Springfield Elementary. In "[[How the Test Was Won]]", Bart laments, "I can't believe we have to start another year at school. I never learned anything at that suck shack." Later in the episode, when Superintendent Chalmers is preparing students for a high stakes standardized test he explains, "Your scores on this test will determine how much money this suck-shack gets for years to come."

=== ''Sunblocker'' ===

'''Smash:''' I'll show you. [opens the window, and shouts at Lenny and Carl, who are standing on the corner] Hey, you! Join the Navy! '''Carl:''' Uh, yeah, all right. '''Lenny:''' I'm in.

=== ''Swishifying'' ===
The effect of the modern world, what with its TV and diet sodas, on the youth of today, as stated by keen-eyed observer of humanity [[Moe Szyslak]] in the episode "[[Homer's Phobia]]". Suggested remedies involve killing men, or, better yet, a deer, which [[Barney]] declares is "like killing a beautiful man".

== T ==
=== ''Tasty-Fake'' ===
A food product designed to look like something other than what it actually is.

In "[[All's Fair in Oven War]]", Marge enters the Ovenfresh Bakeoff with "Dessert Dogs" - hot dogs which are actually made of cookie dough "dogs", meringue "buns", cherry sauce "ketchup", and caramel "mustard". When she presents the idea to an experienced contestant, he refers to the idea as a "tasty-fake". It might be a reference to the Delaware Valley's popular Tastykake snack cakes. [http://www.tastykake.com/]

=== ''Tex Avery Syndrome'' ===
An eye condition caused by high amounts of blood pressure in the eyeballs, which can be induced by stress. It is likely a reference to how Tex Avery's animated characters would have their eyeballs bulge out to enormous distances from their heads when they were shocked, surprised, scared or enamored.

:'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Now, Simpsons, I must warn you, any stress could increase the blood pressure in Marge's eyeballs, leading to what we call "Tex Avery Syndrome".

=== ''Texas Left'' ===
A direction that is referred to as "down" in the rest of the country.

=== ''Texas Penny'' ===
A hundred dollar bill. When Moe bets the Rich Texan a hundred dollars on whether Homer can defeat him in an arm-wrestling contest, the Rich Texan throws his hundred dollar bill on the bar and claims it is a Texas penny.

=== ''Texas Snowball Fight'' ===
An ice cream fight where you throw ice cream like snowballs.

=== ''Topwise'' ===
A direction in which one might seek to rotate the middle side of a Rubik's Cube.

=== ''Tracted'' ===
The opposite of "distracted", according to Homer. In "[[Diatribe of a Mad Housewife]]", when Marge wanted Homer to read her book, "[[The Harpooned Heart]]", Homer stated he couldn't get distracted. The prefix "dis" represents the opposite of the word to which it is attached, such as: disgrace - grace.

Since "distracted" means to not concentrate, then "tracted" apparently means to concentrate.

:'''Homer:''' No, gotta read Marge's book. Can't get distracted. "Distracted"... that's a funny word. Does anyone ever get "tracted"? I'm gonna call the suicide hotline and ask them.

=== ''Tramampoline'' ===
Homer's mispronunciation of "trampoline" in "[[Bart's Inner Child]]".

=== ''Traumedy'' ===
Perhaps spelled 'Traumady', '''Traumedy''' is a portmanteau of 'trauma' and 'comedy' identified by Dr Hibbert in the episode "[[Faith Off]]" as a syndrome of horrifying yet amusing injuries. Also a pun on the term "dramedy".

=== ''Tromboner'' ===
A term for one who plays the trombone. [[Dewey Largo|Mr. Largo]] the music teacher asks Lisa if she finds something funny about the word "tromboner" after she chuckles at a prank [[Nelson Muntz]] plays on [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]".

== U ==
=== ''Unblowuppable'' ===
The state or condition of being unable to be blown up. Describing his model rocket, Homer said: "The word '''unblowuppable''' is thrown around a lot these days, but I think I can say for certain that ... " and was then cut off by the rocket blowing up. ("[[She of Little Faith]]") This may refer to the people who confidently predicted that the ''Titanic'' was "unsinkable".

=== ''Unfaceuptoable'' ===
Used by Mayor Quimby to describe the dire straits the town found itself in after Homer became Sanitation Commissioner, requiring the implementation of the town's all-purpose contingency plan.

Most likely a reference to "enduring the unendurable" in Emperor Hirohito's [[Wikipedia:Gyokuon-hōsō|Gyokuon-hōsō]] speech.

=== ''Unky'' ===
'Unky Herb', the term [[Herb Powell]] wants Bart and Lisa to call him, since "Uncle" is too formal and "Unky" is cuter.

Spoken by [[Ralph Wiggum]] in the episode "[[Lisa on Ice]]", as a synonym of "impossible."

:'''Ralph:''' [''Upon Principal Skinner informing him that he's failing English class''] Me fail English? That's '''unpossible'''!

The word first came into contemporary use in Walt Kelly's comic strip ''Pogo''.

=== ''Volleybrick'' ===
Volleyball played with a brick instead of a ball.

== W ==
=== ''Walking Bird'' ===
Another name for a turkey. In "Lisa v. Malibu Stacy," Grampa Simpson drones on with a rambling story about Thanksgiving:

:"I just used [my washtub] that morning to wash my turkey, which in those days was known as a '''walking bird'''. We'd always have walking bird on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings: cranberries, injun eyes, yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we'd all watch football, which in those days was called 'baseball'..."

=== ''Want-wit'' ===
A term used by [[Mr. Burns]], evidently as a synonym for "idiot"; literally, someone who is wanting (or lacking) in wits.

I could get stung by a [[#bumbled-bee|bumbled-bee]]!"

=== ''Wellity'' ===
A goofy way of saying the word "well".

=== ''Woozle Wuzzle'' ===
Spoken by [[Bart]] on Krusty's TV show after his rendition of his catchphrase, "I didn't do it!" for the umpteenth time yielded only a short, quiet laugh, a cough and some crickets. From the "[[Bart Gets Famous]]" episode.

Initially said earlier in the episode by Homer, hoping to exploit his other children for financial gain, as a suggestion for something funny for Lisa to say:

:'''Homer:''' Come on, Lisa, say something funny.
:[''holds a tape recorder with a microphone'']
:'''Lisa:''' Like what?
:'''Homer:''' Oh, something stupid like Bart would say. "Bucka Bucka" or "Woozle Wuzzle": something like that.

"Woozled" is also a colloquial term for "drunk; intoxicated with alcohol". "Wuzzled" is a possible variation.

=== ''Word hole'' ===
Used by Chief Wiggum in "[[Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming]]" to mean mouth.

:'''Bob:''' There. That's the last condom wrapper.

From the episode "[[Natural Born Kissers]]".

=== ''Yoink!'' ===
After appearing many times on ''The Simpsons'', "'''Yoink'''" has gained widespread usage as a verbal exclamation made when removing or stealing an object from its owner or rightful place. It can also be used as a verb: "I '''yoinked''' it." First used by Homer in "[[Duffless]]", when he snatches the wad of money he saved, by not drinking for a month, from Marge. Coined by ''Simpsons'' writer George Meyer. [http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/other/interviews/meyer00.html]

It is possible that "Yoink" is a verbal imitation of the sound effect (performed by a violin) which has been used to illustrate that something is being unceremoniously removed or stolen. The most recognizable example of this would be during the intro to "The Jetsons" where George holds out a dollar bill and "Yoink", Jane grabs the whole wallet instead. "Yoink" is a verbal declaration that a transaction has taken place, frequently to the consternation of the party relinquishing the article.

:''See also:'' [http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/guides/yoinks.html The Yoink List.]

=== ''You-know-what-icide'' ===

=== ''Zazz'' ===
Used to describe that certain ''[[wikt:je ne sais quoi|je ne sais quoi]]'' that Bart has as an anchor of ''Kidz News'', and that Lisa, a much better investigative reporter, does not. From the episode "[[Girly Edition]]":
:'''Lisa:''' What is ''''zazz''''?
:'''[[Lindsay Naegle]]:''' Zing! Zork! Kapowza! Call it what you want, in any language it spells mazuma in the bank!
:'''Lisa:''' 'Zork'? What is 'zork'?
:'''Lindsay Naegle:''' I didn't say 'zork'. The point is, the camera loves him!

"Zazz" may possibly be a play on the word "pizzazz", meaning flair, zest or energy. [[Mr. Burns]] used the term to describe what happened when a [[Ping-Ping|male panda]] walked into a [[Panda-Monium!|prank]] that Burns had [[Homer]] (disguised as a [[Sim-Sim|female panda]]) play at the zoo: "Well done, monkey. That other panda gave some unexpected '''zazz''' to the festivities, eh?" ("[[Homer vs. Dignity]]")

=== ''Zuh'' ===
Exclamation used when one cannot comprehend a complex situation or statement. Used by [[Bart Simpson]], in the episode "[[The PTA Disbands]]", when Milhouse says to Bart: "Bart, you'll never get Krabappel and Skinner together again.
They're like two positively charged ions." Bart responds, "'''Zuh'''?"

The word was also used by Homer in the episode "[[The Frying Game]]" when he could not think of anymore similar-sounding exclamations.

'''Homer''' (upon seeing the corpse of Mrs. Bellamy): Wha? Muh? Buh?...Zuh?

The '''Springfield Downs''', also known as the '''Springfield Dog Track''',<ref name="Two"/> is a dog and horse racing track in [[Springfield]]. The mechanized rabbit is called [[Screwy]]. It has a V.I.P. Bar.

== History ==
The downs is where [[Santa's Little Helper]] used to race.<ref name="SROAOF">"[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]"</ref>

The downs was featured during the opening credits of [[Kent Brockman]]'s ''[[Eye on Springfield]]''.<ref>"[[Flaming Moe's]]"</ref><ref>"[[A Star Is Burns]]"</ref>

After escaping from the [[Simpson family]]'s car shortly after a visit to the Springfield Pet Shop, Santa's Little Helper returned to the Springfield Dog Track. While there, he interrupted a race by running onto the track and pursuing a female racing dog, [[She's the Fastest]], an event that revealed the two dogs had become attached. Her [[The Rich Texan|owner]] subsequently gave the greyhound to the Simpson family, explaining that racing dogs who fall in love lose their competitive spirit.<ref name="Two">"[[Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]"</ref>

After [[Simpson family]] adopted [[Duncan]], they had him race at the Springfield Downs. At first, Duncan was too intimidated to race but later became successful after being given a makeover and becoming "Furious D".<ref>"[[Saddlesore Galactica]]"</ref>

"'''E Pluribus Wiggum'''" is the tenth episode of [[Season 19|broadcast season 19]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the four hundred tenth episode overall. It originally aired on January 6, [[2008]]. The episode was written by [[Michael Price]] and directed by [[Michael Polcino]]. It guest stars [[Dan Rather]] as {{Ch|Dan Rather|himself}} and [[Jon Stewart]] as {{Ch|Jon Stewart|himself}}.

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis|Springfield becomes the site of the first presidential primary. The townspeople soon get sick of all of the presidential candidates sucking up to them, and decide to support their own write-in candidate: [[Ralph Wiggum]].}}

== Plot ==
[[File:E Pluribus Wiggum promo 2.png|left|thumb|Jon Stewart]]
[[Homer]] leaves work, and when he is reminded that his diet is starting on the first day of the month (which is today), he decides to have one last binge at [[Springfield]]'s [[Fast-Food Boulevard]]. After filling up, he decides to throw away his wrappers and the contents of his car in a trash can outside of a [[Krusty Burger]], tossing away a leaky battery and a lit match. The acid from the leaky battery eats a hole in a gas main, with the lit match igniting the gas. A fire starts which soon causes nearby gas pipes to explode, destroying Fast-Food Boulevard completely.

At a town hall meeting, the enraged residents of Springfield demand that Fast-Food Boulevard be rebuilt immediately. To fund the reconstruction, a bond measure is proposed, to be voted on when Springfield's Presidential primary election is held. As the primary is too far in the future, [[Mayor Quimby]] moves it to the upcoming weekend, making Springfield's presidential primary the first in the nation. Candidates and reporters head to Springfield when they hear the news. [[Lisa]] soon discovers that none of the candidates in the election are compelling.

The candidates flock to the [[Simpsons]], who are undecided. Their home is filled with people and their yard is covered with reporters; helicopters and news vans surround the lot. [[Kent Brockman]] asks Moe which party he likes, [[Moe]] replies, "I like girls." When Kent asks if he is a registered voter, Moe says that he is a "{{W|Sex offender registration|registered something}}". When voting day arrives, an angry Homer and other citizens hold a meeting in [[Moe's Tavern]]. Homer suggests the people vote for the most ridiculous candidate, whom they choose after [[Chief Wiggum]] suggests himself. The same night, [[Kent Brockman]] announces an unexpected turn of events: Springfield has rejected all the leading candidates and voted for 8-year-old [[Ralph Wiggum]], who wins the primary, much to the shock of [[Lisa Simpson]].

Ralph is immediately embraced as the leading candidate, and Homer and [[Bart]] embrace him by becoming his fans. Lisa, however, is miserable, as she knows how intellectually stunted Ralph has always shown himself to be. A news report (called ''Headbutt'') shows Ralph has no idea of which party's nomination he is seeking. The [[Springfield Republican Party]] decides to fight for Ralph, knowing certain victory will come during the election. The Springfield [[Springfield Democratic Party|Democratic Party]] knows that greatness will come once they win Ralph over. The leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties break into Ralph's home, wanting to fight for him. Lisa confronts Ralph among the media frenzy, attempting to convince him to not run. Ralph tells Lisa he wants to run so he can bring peace between warring nations. He is proven to be a formidable candidate, and both the Republicans and the Democrats support Ralph for president. The episode ends with a political commercial for Ralph, sponsored by both parties.

== Cultural references ==
=== The Thing and I ===
*The segment is based on the 1982 horror film ''{{W2|Basket Case|film}}'', with its title being a play on both the horror movie ''{{W2|The Thing|1982 film}}'' and the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ''{{W|The King and I}}''.
*[[Homer]] sings the opening to the song "{{W2|Fish Heads|song}}" by {{W|Barnes & Barnes}}.

*When Homer says that they will search "every place a sick, twisted, solitary misfit might run to.", [[Lisa]] says that she'll check [[RadioShack]].

=== The Genesis Tub ===
*The segment is inspired by ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "{{W2|The Little People|The Twilight Zone}}". It is also based on ''{{W|Microcosmic God}}'' by {{W|Theodore Sturgeon}}.
*The rings of the de-bigulator are a reference to a similar effect used in the 1927 film ''{{W2|Metropolis|1927 film}}''.

=== Citizen Kang ===
*The name of the segment is a reference to the 1941 film ''[[Citizen Kane]]''.
*The segment is based around the {{W|1996 United States presidential election}}, which [[Bill Clinton]] and [[Bob Dole]] were running in.

== Trivia ==

"'''Bart the Fink'''" is the fifteenth episode of [[Season 7|broadcast season 7]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the one hundred forty-third episode overall. It originally aired on February 11, [[1996]]. The teleplay was written by [[John Swartzwelder]] and the story was written by [[Bob Kushell]]. The episode was directed by [[Jim Reardon]]. It guest stars [[Phil Hartman]] as [[Troy McClure]] and [[Bob Newhart]] as {{Ch|Bob Newhart|himself}}.

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis|When [[Bart]] accidentally snitches on [[Krusty]] to the [[IRS]], he decides to go for that last plane ride, after which he is declared dead.}}

== Plot ==
After [[Homer]] and the family inherit some money from his late [[Great Aunt Hortense]], [[Marge]] asks the kids what they want to spend their money on. However, when Bart intends to take advantage of a [[Tacomat]] deal (100 tacos for $100) and Lisa says she'll contribute her inheritance to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Marge puts her foot down and forces them to put their money in a bank account. [[Bart]] gets a checkbook that links into his account and starts writing checks to people, and in hopes of getting [[Krusty the Clown|Krusty the Clown's]] signature, slips a check into his pocket. When his monthly bank statement comes in, he is upset to find that Krusty has neglected to sign the check, and instead the stamp of a holding company is present.

Bart goes to the bank but is informed that there is nothing wrong with simply stamping the check. However, the stamp makes the teller suspicious. The teller asks to be excused, and within a few hours (with Bart standing waiting for the teller to return), comes back to tell Bart that the check has caused Krusty to be arrested for tax fraud. It was revealed that Krusty's money was being held in an illegal account in the Cayman Islands (with no small help to the accounts manager saying he couldn't talk about Krustys "secret illegal account.")

To pay for his tax evasion, Krusty's salary will be reduced drastically. The repayment eats into all corners of his empire. ''[[The Krusty the Clown Show]]'' is scaled back drastically (no money exists in the budget for props, costumes or [[Sideshow Mel]]), the IRS takes over ownership of the [[Krusty Burger]] chain, and Krusty's valuables are auctioned off.

Shortly afterward, Krusty is seen flying his private plane erratically, causing it to crash. When no remains are found, Krusty is declared dead. Bart is wracked with guilt, feeling terrible that he brought on the death of his idol. However, over the next couple of days, Bart is shocked when he sees a man looking suspiciously like Krusty. With Lisa's help, they soon find out that Krusty had faked his death, and assumed the new identity of [[Rory B. Bellows]]. Confronting him at the Springfield Docks, Krusty claims he is happy being a salvager, but Bart and Lisa convince him otherwise.

Krusty decides to give up his new life, and assures the two that with the life insurance from his identity of Rory Bellows, he should be able to pay off the government (he then blows up the boat they have just left).

== Production ==

=== Deleted Scenes ===
Cut from the episode were three scenes, two of which occurred after Krusty faked his death. First was a scene of Bart getting booed on the school bus, as the children view him as having ruined the show, with Otto commenting that there's not enough weed in the world to make it funny anymore. Later on, Krusty is seen taking public transit, wondering if people got smellier in the last 30 years.

Secondly, is Marge telling Homer to discuss death with Bart, with Homer agreeing to on the condition that she tells Bart about sex when he turns 21. Third, was a scene in which Bart walked dejectedly through the Springfield Mall, looking at TVs showing "The Agent Tom Stovak Variety-Format Show", which replaced Krusty's show after his supposed death. This was also where Bart would've encountered Rory B. Bellows buying a marine radio.

'''7F''' is the second production season of ''[[The Simpsons]]''. [[Matt Groening]], [[James L. Brooks]], and [[Sam Simon]] were the [[List of showrunners|showrunners]] for the season. The episodes mostly aired in [[Season 2|broadcast season 2]] on [[Fox]], with two [[rollover episodes]] from the production season airing in [[Season 3|broadcast season 3]]. The episodes aired from October 11, [[1990]] with "[[Bart Gets an "F"]]", to October 3, [[1991]] with "[[When Flanders Failed]]".

== Production ==
Despite "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" being the first episode produced in 7F, the executives at [[FOX]] chose to air "Bart Gets an "F"" first in season 2 to cash in on Bart's popularity at the time. The executives also made the bold decision to air "Bart Gets an "F"" on October 11, 1990, at 8:00 P.M. EST against NBC's biggest hit ''The Cosby Show'', which aired during that same Thursday timeslot. Many were anticipating a ratings war, with the term "Bill vs. Bart" being coined to highlight the rivalry. Despite being a Nielsen point lower than ''The Cosby Show'' (18.4 vs. ''Cosby's'' 18.5) "Bart Gets an "F"" wound up drawing higher ratings in than The Cosby Show, taking eighth place in the weekly ratings with 33.6 million viewers, making it the Fox Network's highest rated broadcast until January 1, 1995, as well as the highest rated episode of The Simpsons' ever. This set the stage for episodes like "Three Men and a Comic Book" and Season 3's "Homer at the Bat" to surpass ''The Cosby Show'' in Nielsen ratings. Eventually, NBC cancelled ''The Cosby Show'' in 1992, and The Simpsons eventually went back to its usual Sunday timeslot.

'''Springfield's state''' is a state in the [[United States of America]].

== Description ==
It is best known for containing [[Springfield]]. It is not known where it is, due to a mixture of geographical features and various comments by inhabitants. The state was founded by circus freaks.<ref>"[[The Homer They Fall]]"</ref>

The state has many counties. Springfield County is where the city of Springfield is located. There is also [[Swartzwelder County]] which borders Springfield<ref>"[[Dog of Death]]"</ref> and the rural [[Spittle County]], which claims to be the birthplace of the loogie.<ref>"[[Colonel Homer]]"</ref> Other cities in the state include: [[Cypress Creek]], founded by the [[Globex Corporation]];<ref>"[[You Only Move Twice]]"</ref> [[Ogdenville]], famous for its outlet malls and monorail; [[Little Pwagmattasquarmsettport]], known as America's scrod basket;<ref>"[[Summer of 4 Ft. 2]]"</ref> and [[Capital City]], the largest city and the state capital. [[Catfish Lake]] is known for its fishing and marriage retreats.<ref>"[[The War of the Simpsons]]"</ref> There is also the unpopular community of [[Stenchburg]],<ref>"[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]"</ref> as well as towns such as [[Terror Lake]], [[Cape Fear]], [[New Horrorfield]], [[Screamville]], Frigid Falls, [[Mount Seldom]] and [[Lake Flaccid]].<ref>"[[Cape Feare]]"</ref>

== State flag ==

File:Opposites A-Frack promo 4.png |Navy blue field with the state seal in the center<ref>"[[Opposites A-Frack]]"</ref>
</gallery>

== Economy ==
The state is made up of mainly agricultural land, with occasional large cities such as Capital City and medium-sized towns such as Springfield and Shelbyville. The farms mainly grow corn, livestock, dairy, fruit, cotton, tobacco, and [[tomacco]], while within the cities, the main industries are brewing by the [[Duff Beer|Duff]] and [[Fudd Beer]] corporations, coal mining, casinos, manufacture of boxes, pillows, food, copper, iron, steel, industrial equipment, dangerous chemicals and retail. This balance means that most of the state's working population is blue-collar.

Despite this, several wealthy citizens exist, most famously [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] (a utilities magnate), [[Aristotle Amadopolis]] (another utilities magnate), [[Hank Scorpio]] (a crime lord who seized the Eastern Seaboard) and (until his imprisonment) [[Artie Ziff]] (an entrepreneur).

Two cities in the state are known to have international airports: [[Springfield Airport|Springfield]] and [[Capital City]]. Springfield also has a [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|nuclear power plant]], a naval base, an army base and an air force base.

The state includes both areas of high wealth (Old Springfield, the center of [[Capital City]]), and slum areas (i.e. Capital City outskirts and New Springfield). Because of this, the state becomes very polarized, with constant feuds between upper and lower class citizens over issues as petty as telephone area codes.<ref>"[[A Tale of Two Springfields]]"</ref>

The state also contains at least 2000 [[McDonald's]] restaurants, according to Lou.<ref>"[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]"</ref>

== Geography ==
The state is heavily polluted due to years of environmental neglect by the government and nuclear power industry. Radioactive waste is to be found in most bodies of water as well as the occasional mutated three-eyed fish (affectionately known as [[Blinky]]). Despite this, the state has a wide array of wildlife, including grizzly bears, snakes, bald eagles, and manatees.

The state has a variety of geographical features, such as gorges, forests, mountains, rivers, beaches, deserts, lakes, wetlands and a glacier; as well as a diverse array of weather patterns, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, and blizzards. Snow is common in the state in the winter.

Springfield is a northern state that fought with the Union during the Civil War.<ref>"[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade]]"</ref>

== Politics ==
[[Mary Bailey]] is the current Governor of Springfield's State. [[Mr. Burns]] once ran for Governor, but lost out to Bailey.<ref>"[[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]"</ref> Because Burns ran as a Republican, Bailey is most likely a Democrat if not an Independent. A former Governor was [[Chester L. Suicide]], who has a bridge named in his honor.<ref>"[[Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind]]"</ref>

Congressmen from the state whose districts included Springfield were [[Bob Arnold]] who was expelled from congress over bribery and [[Horace Wilcox]] who died of a heart attack while still office since 1933.

The current mayor of Springfield is Democrat "Diamond" Joe Quimby. He often takes bribes and is a known womanizer. Previous Mayors include attempted murderer [[Sideshow Bob|Robert Terwilliger]]<ref>"[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]"</ref> and Hans Moleman, as well as Lindsey Nagle, Dr. Julius Hibbert, [[Comic Book Guy]], Professor Frink, [[Seymour Skinner]], and Lisa Simpson, as a council of Learned Citizens.

== Education ==
The state follows a standard education system, with elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools. However, the state has a very low education budget; schools can only afford to buy books other schools have banned, they are forced to cancel all artistic and physical education, and must rent out classrooms as prison cells to make ends meet. The most extreme example of this is [[Springfield Elementary School]], which was moved from [[Missouri]] brick by brick after reaching bottom of the state league table.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]"</ref> The state is also home to [[Springfield University]], [[Springfield A&M]] (which was founded by a cow), and the unfortunately-acronymed [[Springfield Heights Institute of Technology]].

== Transport ==
The state has a comprehensive Interstate Highway system, linking to Oregon, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas and "some other state." Interstate 95 was depicted in one of the episodes. The area also has a good rail network, with both passenger and freight services. The area's several international airports also provide a strong transport link with destinations in the state, other US states, and the world.

Another, less orthodox system was the [[Springfield Monorail|monorail]] system installed by the (possibly late) conman [[Lyle Lanley]], who also sold faulty monorails to [[Brockway]], [[Ogdenville]] and [[North Haverbrook]]. It has since been closed for safety reasons.<ref>"[[Marge vs. the Monorail]]"</ref>

== What state is Springfield in? ==
The uncertain location of Springfield is a running gag in the series, based on the fact that 34 states in the United States have at least one community with that name; and several have more than one. Episodes frequently make fun of the fact that Springfield's state has never been revealed, by adding further conflicting descriptions, obscuring onscreen map representations, and interrupting conversational references.
It is most likely that Springfield is in a fictional state with an exact location in the United States which will vary from episode to episode. A good example of this is when [[Ned Flanders|Flanders]] says that the four states that border Springfield's state are [[Ohio]], [[Nevada]], [[Maine]], and [[Kentucky]], which is impossible.<ref name="movie">''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref>

=== Geography of Springfield and its location ===
[[File:USA Map.png|thumb|A map of the USA, showing Springfield's state marked by [[Blinky]].]]
There are many geographical features of Springfield that means many parts of the USA could not hold the city.

Springfield's State has to border the ocean or sea, meaning landlocked states could not house Springfield. This means that [[Arizona]], [[Arkansas]], [[Colorado]], [[Idaho]], [[Iowa]], [[Kansas]], [[Kentucky]], [[Missouri]], [[Montana]], [[Nebraska]], [[Nevada]], [[New Mexico]], [[North Dakota]], [[Oklahoma]], [[South Dakota]], [[Tennessee]], [[Utah]], [[Vermont]], [[West Virginia]] and [[Wyoming]] are all not possible. Although not landlocked, [[Illinois]], [[Indiana]], [[Michigan]], [[Minnesota]], Ohio, [[Pennsylvania]], and [[Wisconsin]] only border lakes, and so are also not possible. Springfield has also been made clear to be in a state and not a district, so the District of Columbia is not possible. On top of this, the [[KBBL]] radio station as well as [[Channel 6]], which also uses the {{W|Call signs in the United States|call sign}} KBBL implies that Springfield is located west of the [[Mississippi River]], meaning that [[Alabama]], [[Connecticut]], [[Delaware]], [[Florida]], [[Georgia]], [[Maine]], [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Mississippi]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New Jersey]], [[New York]], [[North Carolina]], [[Rhode Island]], [[South Carolina]], and [[Virginia]], are also not possible.

We also know that [[West Springfield]] is three times the size of Texas,<ref>"[[Half-Decent Proposal]]"</ref> which itself is the second biggest state. Alaska, the biggest, wouldn't be able to hold West Springfield, let alone the rest of Springfield and the rest of the state. This further proves that Springfield is in a fictional state set in the United States of America. However, the phrase "three times the size of Texas" could also refer to several real-world towns named "Texas" in a variety of states (e.g. Texas, New Jersey; etc.).

== Plan B? ==
A "Plan B" exists that has the entire city move across the country. It is possible that Springfield's state has been in a constant state of flux over the years considering the amount of pollution it theoretically creates and diversity of animal life shown.<ref>"[[Trash of the Titans]]"</ref> This is also supported when Lisa states that she is surprised that they allowed the Monty Burns Casino to come along when they moved the city.<ref>"[[Viva Ned Flanders]]"</ref>

== Dialects and accents ==
Regional dialects and accents are often used to help place people's origins. The citizens of Springfield have a range of accents, though many originate from elsewhere (such as the Scottish [[Groundskeeper Willie]] or Indian [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]]). Apart from the General American accent spoken by most children and many adults (for example, as spoken by Homer Simpson), a notable segment of the middle-aged generation of Springfield natives has an accent variety typical of the greater New York metropolitan area. Marge Simpson and Barney Gumble both exhibit rhotic New York accents, while Carl Carlson and Lenny Leonard, as well as Moe Szyslak, who is not a Springfield native, but who did move to Springfield as a young child, all have non-rhotic (i.e. more "fully-fledged" ''r''-dropping) New York accents.

However, there are a variety of other accents also spoken by presumed natives of the town. The town's mayor, Joe Quimby, oddly has an accent reminiscent of John F. Kennedy, which is itself a cultivated, non-natural accent that has some similarities to the local Boston accent. There are also some noticeable Springfielders with other accents, such as the Southern accent lightly displayed by [[Ned Flanders]] and strongly exhibited by the local [[Spuckler children|Spuckler clan]].

One possibility to explain the diversity of accents in the relatively small city is that different socioeconomic groups in the town have different accents or that the town is a melting pots of various dialects, perhaps because it is located midway between a variety of distinct dialect regions.

== Springfield based on Springfield, Oregon ==

'''Chief Knocka-Homer''' was an apparatus built by [[Homer Simpson]] as a fighting robot to compete in the TV show ''[[Robot Rumble]]'' and to impress [[Bart]]. With Homer essentially acting as a pilot, the robot proved to be very successful on the show, due in part to Homer's using unorthodox tactics such as stealing opponents' weapons.

== History ==
Homer originally tried to make a real robot to enter into the show, but he was unable to make a working robot. Unknown to anyone else, Homer changed his plan and designed Chief Knocka-Homer for an operator (himself) to be inside it, pedaling a tricycle and putting his own arms into the robot's arms (essentially making them act as sleeves) to do things like swing the hammer. However, because Homer included a remote control, Bart thought that he was controlling the robot. Homer later confessed to Bart that the remote wasn't doing anything except delivering electrical shocks to Homer's butt, which Homer had set up on purpose to help maintain his competitive edge.

Chief Knocka-Homer defeated many opponents, among them [[Buzzkill]], [[Ralph-O-Cop]], and [[Murderpuss]]. However, it came up short against [[Killhammad Aieee]], a very high-tech robot entered by [[Professor Frink]] and [[John Frink III|his son]]. Killhammad Aieee nearly destroyed Chief Knocka-Homer, but the fight ended in a draw. Homer was nearly killed in that fight, and was also "outed" as having been inside the robot all along. As it turned out, Bart was more impressed by Homer's being inside Chief Knocka-Homer and doing all the fighting for real than he had been when he'd thought that Homer had only built the robot. With Killhammad Aieee stopped, due to obeying the {{W|Three Laws of Robotics}} and being unable to hurt Homer, Chief Knocka-Homer was declared the winner of the match, even though rule 1 of the ''Robot Rumble'' rules stated a human couldn't be a robot.<ref>"[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot]]"</ref>

== Description ==
Chief Knocka-Homer looked like an oversized mailbox, with three wheels on the bottom, a viewport in front, flexible arms (with grasping hooks) at the sides, and an Indian war bonnet on top of its head. Chief Knocka-Homer's primary weapon was a hammer, but it was capable of disarming opponents and using their own weapons against them.

{{Needswork}}
''[[The Simpsons]]'' is an American animated television series created by [[Matt Groening]] for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satirical parody of a working-class American lifestyle epitomized by its family of the same name which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional city of Springfield, and lampoons American culture, society, television and many aspects of the human condition.

Since its debut on December 17, [[1989]] the show has broadcast over 700 episodes and is currently on its thirty-eighth season, which premiered on September 27, [[2026]]. ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', a feature-length film, was released in theaters worldwide on July 26 and July 27, 2007, and grossed US$527 million worldwide.

The Simpsons has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series, including 27 Primetime Emmy Awards, 27 Annie Awards and a Peabody Award.

== The Tracey Ullman Shorts ==
Groening conceived of the idea for the Simpsons in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]'s office. Brooks had asked Groening to pitch an idea for a series of animated shorts, which Groening initially intended to present as his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. However, when Groening realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require the rescinding of publication rights for his life's work, he chose another approach and formulated his version of a dysfunctional family.<ref>[http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=116200 ''Fresh Air'' interview with Matt Groening]</ref> He named the characters after his own family members, substituting "Bart" for his own name.<ref name="americasfirstfamily">''[[The Simpsons: America's First Family]]''</ref>

The [[Simpson family]] first appeared as [[The Simpsons shorts|shorts]] in ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]'' on April 19 [[1987]]. Groening submitted only basic sketches to the animators and assumed that the figures would be cleaned-up in production. However, the animators merely re-traced his drawings, which led to the crude appearance of the characters in the initial short episodes.<ref name="americasfirstfamily"/> The animation was produced domestically at [[Klasky Csupo]],<ref>Matt Groening's Baby Turns 10; Animation Magazine, Vol. 14, #1 - January 2000</ref> with [[Wesley Archer]], [[David Silverman]], and [[Bill Kopp]] being animators for the first season.<ref name="silverman">[http://cagle.msnbc.com/hogan/interviews/silverman.asp The David Silverman Interview] at [http://www.msnbc.com/ MSNBC]</ref> After season one it was animated by Archer and Silverman.<ref name="silverman"/> [[Gyorgyi Peluce]] was the colorist and the person who decided to make the characters yellow.<ref name="silverman"/>

The actors who voiced the characters would later reprise their roles in ''The Simpsons''. [[Dan Castellaneta]] performed the voices of [[Homer Simpson]], [[Abraham Simpson]], and [[Krusty the Clown]].<ref name="Complete">[[The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family]]"</ref> Homer's voice sounds different in the shorts compared to most episodes of the half-hour show. In the shorts, his voice is a loose impression of [[Walter Matthau]], whereas it is more robust and humorous on the half-hour show, allowing Homer to cover a fuller range of emotions.<ref>He's Homer, but This Odyssey Is His Own; Los Angeles Times July 06 1999</ref> [[Julie Kavner]], [[Nancy Cartwright]], and [[Yeardley Smith]] performed the voices of [[Marge]], [[Bart]], and [[Lisa Simpson]] respectively.<ref name="Complete"/> While most of the characters' personalities are similar to what they are in the series, Lisa is portrayed as a female version of Bart without the intelligent nature that she possesses in the half-hour series.

The shorts were featured on the first three seasons on ''The Tracey Ullman Show''. By the fourth and last season of ''The Tracey Ullman Show'' the first season of the half-hour show was on the air. In the two first seasons the shorts were divided into three or four parts,<ref name="Complete"/> but in the third season they were played as a single story.<ref name="Complete"/> [[Tracey Ullman]] would later file a lawsuit, claiming that her show was the source of ''The Simpsons'' success and therefore should receive a share of the show's profit. Eventually the courts ruled in favor of the network.<ref name="Ullman">Eat my shorts!; Entertainment Weekly October 23, 1992</ref>

== The half-hour show ==
=== The first season ===
In 1989, a team of production companies adapted ''The Simpsons'' into a half-hour series for the [[Fox Broadcasting Company]]. The team included what is now the [[Klasky Csupo]] animation house. Jim Brooks negotiated a provision in the contract with the Fox network that prevented Fox from interfering with the show's content.<ref>[http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=568&IssueNum=32 '3rd Degree: Harry Shearer' at [http://www.lacitybeat.com/ Los Angeles: City Beat]</ref> Groening said his goal in creating the show was to offer the audience an alternative to what he called "the mainstream trash" that they were watching.<ref>Toon Terrific; {{W|Entertainment Weekly}} March 12, 1993</ref> The half-hour series premiered on December 17, [[1989]] with "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", a Christmas special.

The series was originally set to debut in the fall of 1989 with the episode "[[Some Enchanted Evening]]", which was meant to introduce the main characters.<ref name="Some Enchanted Evening">Commentary for "[[Some Enchanted Evening]]"</ref> However, during the first screening of the episode, the producers discovered that the animation was so appalling that 70% of the episode needed to be redone.<ref name="Some Enchanted Evening"/> The producers considered aborting the series if the next episode ("[[Bart the Genius]]") turned out as bad, but it only suffered from easily fixable problems. The producers convinced Fox to move the debut to December 17, and aired "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" as the first episode of the series.<ref name="Some Enchanted Evening"/>

''The Simpsons'' was the Fox network's first TV series to rank among a season's top 30 highest-rated shows.<ref>[http://classictvhits.com/tvratings/1989.htm TV Ratings: 1989–1990] at [http://classictvhits.com/ ClassicTVHits.com]</ref> Its success prompted Fox to reschedule the series to compete with ''[[The Cosby Show]],'' a move that hurt the ratings of ''The Simpsons.''<ref>[http://www.avclub.com/content/node/47771/1 Matt Groening: Interview] at [http://www.avclub.com/ The A.V. Club]</ref> In 1992, Tracey Ullman filed a lawsuit against Fox, claiming that her show was the source of the series' success. The suit said she should receive a share of the profits of ''The Simpsons''—a claim rejected by the courts.<ref name="Ullman"/>

The first season won one [[Emmy Awards|Emmy Award]], and received four additional nominations. Although television shows are limited to one episode a category, "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" was considered a separate special, and nominated alongside "[[Life on the Fast Lane]]" for Outstanding Animated Program; "Life on the Fast Lane" won the award. "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" was also nominated for "Outstanding Editing in a Miniseries or Special", while "The Call of the Simpsons" was nominated for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special". The main theme song, composed by [[Danny Elfman]], was nominated for "Outstanding Achievement in Main Title Theme Music".<ref>[http://www.emmys.org/awards/awardsearch.php Emmy Awards official site]</ref>

The show was controversial from its beginning. The rebellious lead character at the time, Bart, frequently received no punishment for his misbehavior, which led some parents and conservatives to characterize him as a poor role model for children.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6252856.stm Is The Simpsons still subversive?] at</ref> At the time, then-current President [[George H. W. Bush]] said, "We're going to strengthen the American family to make them more like {{W|the Waltons}} and less like the Simpsons."<ref name="Times">America's First Family; The Times Magazine April 15, 2000</ref> Several US public schools even banned ''The Simpsons'' merchandise and t-shirts, such as one featuring Bart and the caption "Underachiever ('And proud of it, man!')".<ref name="Times"/> Despite the ban, ''The Simpsons'' merchandise sold well and generated US$2 billion in revenue during the first 14 months of sales.<ref name="Times"/>

=== The second season ===
"[[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]" was the first episode produced for the season, but "[[Bart Gets an "F"]]" aired first because Bart was popular at the time and the producers had wanted to premiere with a Bart themed episode.<ref name="Gets an F">Commentary for "[[Bart Gets an "F"]]"</ref> The second season featured a new [[opening sequence]], which was shortened by fifteen seconds from its original length of roughly 1 minute, 30 seconds. The opening sequence for the first season showed Bart stealing a "Bus Stop" sign; whilst the new sequence featured him skateboarding past several characters who had been introduced during the previous season. Starting with this season, there were three versions of the opening: a full roughly 1 minute 15 second long version, a 45 second version and a 25 second version. This gave the show's editors more leeway.<ref name="Gets an F"/>

Due to the show's success, over the summer of 1990, the Fox network decided to switch ''The Simpsons'' timeslots. It would move from 8:00 PM on Sunday night to the same time on Thursday where it would compete with ''[[The Cosby Show]]'', the {{W|Nielsen Ratings#Annual top-rated shows|number one show}} at the time.<ref name="Gets an F"/> Many of the producers, including [[James L. Brooks]], were against the move because ''The Simpsons'' had been in the top 10 while airing on Sunday and they felt the move would destroyed its ratings.<ref name="Gets an F"/> All through the summer of 1990, several news outlets published stories about the supposed "Bill vs. Bart" rivalry.<ref name="Gets an F"/> ''The Cosby Show'' beat ''The Simpsons'' every time during the second season and ''The Simpsons'' fell out of the top 10. It would not be until the [[Season 3|third season]] episode "[[Homer at the Bat]]" that ''The Simpsons'' would beat ''The Cosby Show'' in the ratings.<ref name="Gets an F"/><ref name="Bat">Commentary for "[[Homer at the Bat]]"</ref>

=== New Orleans controversy ===
During the fourth season they released the episode "[[A Streetcar Named Marge]]". The musical within the episode contains a controversial song about New Orleans, which describes the city as a "home of pirates, drunks and whores", among other things. Jeff Martin, the writer of the episode, had meant the song to be a parody of the opening number in ''{{W2|Sweeney Todd|musical}}'', which speaks of [[London]] in unflattering terms.<ref name="Cajun">"[[The Cajun Controversy]]"</ref> Al Jean later explained that two {{W|Cajun}} characters were supposed to walk out of the theater in disgust, but none of the voice actors could provide a convincing Cajun accent.<ref name="Lorando">"'Simpsons' takes a shot at Crescent City"; {{W|The Times-Picayune}} October 01 1992</ref>

Before the premiere of the fourth season, the producers sent two episodes to critics: "[[Kamp Krusty]]" and "A Streetcar Named Marge".<ref name="Gets an F"/> A New Orleans critic viewed "A Streetcar Named Marge" and published the song lyrics in his newspaper before the episode aired.<ref name="Lorando"/> Many readers took the lyrics out of context, and New Orleans' Fox affiliate, {{W|WNOL}}, received about one hundred complaints on the day the episode aired. Several local radio stations also held on-air protests in response to the song.<ref>"Fox apologizes for 'Simpsons'"; {{W|The Times-Picayune}} October 02 1992</ref>

The ''Simpsons''<nowiki>'</nowiki> producers rushed out a [[chalkboard gag]] for "[[Homer the Heretic]]", which aired a week after "A Streetcar Named Marge". It read, "I will not defame New Orleans." The gag was their attempt to "apologize" for the song and hopefully bring the controversy to an end.<ref name="Cajun"/> "We didn't realize people would get so mad," said Al Jean. "It was the best apology we could come up with in eight words or less."<ref>"Bart chalks up apology for New Orleans song"; {{W|The Times-Picayune}} October 08 1992</ref> The issue passed quickly, and a person in a Bart Simpson costume even served as {{W|Krewe of Tucks}} Grand Marshal at the 1993 {{W|New Orleans Mardi Gras}}.<ref>"For Silver Celebration, Tucks 'Lov-A-Da Music"; {{W|The Times-Picayune}} February 21, 1993</ref>

In 2002, the Rio de Janeiro tourist board found the season 13 episode "[[Blame It on Lisa]]" so offensive to the Brazilian people that they threatened to sue the producers. The board's exact word were "What really hurt was the idea of the monkeys, the image that Rio de Janeiro was a jungle ... It's a completely unreal image of the city". The producers' apologized and the issue did not go any further, but was international news for awhile. The episode was forbidden in Brazil.

The already completed "Tennis the Menace" was broadcast as made.<ref>[http://www.license-europe.com/licensemag/data/articlestandard//licensemag/192007/425752/article.pdf A Salute to the Simpsons] at [http://www.license-europe.com/licensemag/ License Mag]</ref>

=== Season 23 cancellation threat ===
[[20th Century Fox|20th Century Fox Television]] released a statement on October 4, 2011, saying: "23 seasons in, ''The Simpsons'' is as creatively vibrant as ever and beloved by millions around the world. We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model. We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the voice cast that allows ''The Simpsons'' to go on entertaining audiences with original episodes for many years to come."<ref name="insidetv.ew.com">[http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/04/simpsons-end-of-show-season-23-contract/ Insidetv.ew.com - 'Simpsons' studio says show cannot continue without cutting costs]</ref> The problem was that ''The Simpsons'' was probably worth more cancelled than on air. A 17-year-old syndication deal with TV stations prohibits Fox from selling ''The Simpsons'' to cable networks. Fox cannot break this deal unless production of episodes stop.<ref>[http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/would-the-simpsons-be-worth-more-dead-or-alive/ Deadline.com - Would 'The Simpsons' Be Worth More Dead Or Alive?]</ref>

For more seasons to be produced after [[Season 23]], the studio requested that the cast members accept a 45% cut of their salaries.<ref name="insidetv.ew.com"/> The actors were willing to take a pay cut, but wanted a percentage of the back-end payments instead.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/06/us-simpsons-idUSTRE79505F20111006 Reuters.com - "Simpsons" deadline for voice actors looms]</ref> [[Harry Shearer]] offered a 70% cut in exchange for back-end percentages at one point, but the studio was unwilling to make any sort of deal that involved back-end percentages.<ref>[http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/simpsons-co-star-speaks-out-on-salary-negotiation-stalemate/ Deadline.com - 'Simpsons' Co-Star Speaks Out On Contract Negotiation Stalemate]</ref> Finally, the studio and cast made a deal, in which the cast would take a 30% pay cut, down to just over $300,000 an episode, prolonging the show to its 25th season.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/simpsons-renewed-two-more-seasons-245748 HollywoodReporter.com - 'The Simpsons' Renewed for Two More Seasons]</ref> Not just the cast, but the animators, writers, post-production crew and show runner [[Al Jean]] all took pay cuts.<ref>[http://www.tvguide.com/News/Simpsons-Executive-Producer-1038600.aspx TVGuide.com - The Simpsons Executive Producer Al Jean on How the Show Was Saved]</ref>

== Film ==
[[20th Century Fox]], [[Gracie Films]], and [[Film Roman]] produced an animated ''The Simpsons'' film that was released on July 27, 2007.<ref name="simpsonmovie">[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117940840?categoryid=14&cs=1 Homer going to bat in '07] at [http://www.variety.com/ Variety.com]</ref> The production staff of ''The Simpsons'' had entertained the thought of a film since early in the series, but production never came together.

Jean, Scully, Reiss, Swartzwelder, Vitti, Mirkin, and Meyer wrote twenty five pages each, with the group meeting one month later to merge the seven sections in to one "very rough draft." The script went through one hundred revisions.<ref name="tislondon"/> Groening described his desire to also make the film dramatically stronger than a TV episode, as "we wanna really give you something that you haven't seen before. There are moments you actually forget that you're watching a cartoon and that is difficult when you have characters as ugly as the Simpsons."<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a64419/groening-simpsons-movie-will-be-emotional.html Groening: 'Simpsons Movie' will be emotional] at [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/ Digital Spy]</ref> The film was originally planned for release in summer 2006,<ref>[http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/4246.html A Simpsons Movie in 2006?] at [http://www.icv2.com/ ICV2.com]</ref> but [[Al Jean]] stated at San Diego's {{W|Comic-Con International}} 2004 that the producers were taking their time, to make sure that the film was perfect.<ref>[http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/5380.html Simpsons Film Confirmed at [http://www.icv2.com/ ICV2.com]</ref>

Production of the film occurred alongside continued writing of the series despite long-time claims by those involved in the show that a film would enter production only after the series had concluded.<ref name="simpsonmovie"/> There had been talk of a possible feature-length Simpsons film ever since the early seasons of the series. James L. Brooks originally thought that the story of the episode "[[Kamp Krusty]]" was suitable for a film, but encountered difficulties in trying to expand the script to feature-length.<ref>Commentary for "[[Kamp Krusty]]"</ref> For a long time, difficulties such as lack of a suitable story and an already fully engaged crew of writers delayed the project.<ref>[http://www.avclub.com/content/node/47771/3 Matt Groening interview with The A.V.

In July 2007, convenience store chain [[7-Eleven]] converted 11 of its stores in the United States and one in Canada into Kwik-E-Marts to celebrate the release of ''The Simpsons Movie''. Prior to July, the promotion had long been known but the locations were kept a secret until the morning of July 1, when the 12 stores were made over with industrial foam, vinyl and actual Kwik-E-Mart signs.<ref name="FOX">[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287578,00.html 7-Eleven Becomes Kwik-E-Mart for 'Simpsons Movie' Promotion] at [http://www.foxnews.com FOX News]</ref> These 12 locations, as well as the majority of other North American 7-Elevens, sold products found in ''The Simpsons'', such as [[Buzz Cola]], [[Frosty Krusty O's]], [[Squishee]]s, pink frosted "Sprinklicious doughnuts" and other ''Simpsons''-themed merchandise. It was decided that [[Duff Beer]] would not be sold due to the movie being rated PG-13, and the promoters wanted to have "good, responsible fun," though it was noted that it was a tough decision.<ref name="FOX"/> The promotion resulted in a 30% increase in profits for the changed 7-Eleven stores.<ref>[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i5cd11e0c6fc24e90a897224f6f3c214d D'oh!

{{qf|[[Selma]]}} What the?
{{qf|[[Sideshow Bob]]}} Selma dear, I'm afraid the children's reaction is quite understandable. You see, Bart here is the Seamus in short pants that sent me to prison.
{{qf|Bart}} That's right Aunt Selma, your new boyfriend here framed Krusty the Clown for armed robbery.

{{qf|Sideshow Bob}} Bart, I must know. How did you untangle my web?
{{qf|[[Chief Wiggum]]}} Yeah, Bart, pull us in!
{{qf|Bart}} Well, I'd hate to tell the number one cop in town how to do his job.
{{qf|Chief Wiggum}} No, no, please. It's the only way I'll learn.
----
{{qf|[[Homer]]}} Gee, if some snot-nosed little kid sent me to prison, the first thing out, I'd find out where he lives, and tear him a new belly button!
----
{{qf|Sideshow Bob}} Ah, Mr. Simpson, you're forgetting the first two noble truths of the Buddha.
{{qf|Homer}} I am not!
----
{{qf|Bart}} Her only hopes were a clucky young boy and his slow-witted father.
