Difference between revisions of "Made-up words"

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

==A==

===''Adultivity''===

In "[[Much Apu About Nothing]]," Kearney believes that his fake "Charles Norwood" ID will confirm this for him, thus allowing him to buy beer and cheap cigars.

Marge's pronunciation of "alcohol" in "[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]"

:'''Marge''': I don't want to alarm anyone, but there's a little al-key-hol in this punch.

===''America Junior''===

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

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

===''America's Wang''===

A term coined by Homer in reference to Florida's shape, compared to the rest of the United States, resembling a penis.

:'''Homer''': Florida?! But that's '''America's Wang'''!

:'''Psychiatrist''': They prefer "The Sunshine State".

===''Annual Gift Man''===

The English translation for Santakurosu, the Japanese Santa Claus (or Father Christmas), who lives on the Moon.  [[John]] (voiced by guest star [[John Waters]]) mentions the name in the episode "[[Homer's Phobia]]".

===''Appling''===

The process of [[Photoshopping]] to add somebody's face to add "[[wikt:apple|apple]]" to their cheeks and make them more attractive. [[Waylon Smithers]] apples Mr. Burns face to make him appear more benevolent on the cover of a newspaper. Seen in "[[Fraudcast News]]".

===''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''===

Kent Brockman's conflation of the words avoidance and evasion in "[[Bart the Fink]]."

When corrected through his earpiece, Brockman responds to them on-air: "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'').

==B==

===''Banjoologist''===

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''===

:'''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 [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]] in "[[My Big Fat Geek Wedding]]."

:'''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.

===''Be-musement Park''===

:'''Ned''': Oh, Maude, I've turned your dream of a Christian amusement park into 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.

===''Blingwad''===

:'''[[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.

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

===''Blundering Numbskullery''===

:'''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"]]."

===''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 due 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".

===''Bonus Eruptus''===

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 Grandpa that if he didn't calm down to receive treatment, Grandpa 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.

===''Boo-urns''===

What [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]] tells [[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]] 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 Football fans, in particular, the supporters of Adelaide United FC when 'Boo-ing' an opposition player.

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

A term used by [[Troy McClure]] in a vintage pro-meat/pro-slaughter documentary shown to Lisa's class from the episode "[[Lisa the Vegetarian]]". Where Ralph Wiggum one day hopes to attend.

===''Brain medicine''===

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.

:'''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 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. 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 episode 12 of Season 16, Burns 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!"

==C==

===''California Cheeseburger''===

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

===''Capdabbler''===

===''Car Hole''===

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

:'''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'''!

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

===''Chazzwozzers''===

As the Simpsons depart from Australia, an Australian equivalent of [[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 '''chazzwozzers'''."

===''Cheese-eating surrender monkeys''===

A satirical and insulting phrase, referring to the collaborationist Vichy France regime's surrender in World War II.

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

===''Chestal''===

:'''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 inn the episode "[[Bart's Girlfriend]]"

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?"

===''Chocotastic''===

===''Clouseauesque''===

A combination of excessive clumsiness and ridiculously bad luck, in the manner of Peter Sellers' hapless [[Wikipedia:Inspector Jacques Clouseau|Inspector Jacques Clouseau]].

===''Commie-Nazis''===

Fictional villains [[Rainier Wolfcastle]] faces in 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.  

===''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 [[Wikipedia:dysphemism|dysphemism]] for "stomach" after [[Nelson Muntz|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.

===''Crayola 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 [[Chinese character|character]] ([[wiktionary:危|危]][[wiktionary:機|機]] for "crisis", [[wiktionary:機|機]][[wiktionary:會|會]] for "opportunity").

From "[[Fear of Flying (Simpsons)|Fear of Flying]]".

===''Cromulent''===

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 ''[[#Embiggen|embiggens]]'' before moving to Springfield. [[Miss Hoover]] replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly '''cromulent''' word".

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".

 

"Cromulent" has since appeared in Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English. ([http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cromulent lookup] via reference.com.) Some sources have misheard the word as "promulent".

===''Crotch dot''===

:'''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''===

===''Deceleratrix''===

The service brakes on a car.  

===''Dickety''===

[[Grandpa Simpson]]'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.  

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 Grandpa, Liberty Cabbage was, in turn, known as "Super Slaw").

===''Diddly''===

[[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 [[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 [[Wikipedia:tmesis|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").

===''Doctorb''===

===''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.  

===''D'oh!''===

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

===''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 "[[Call of the Simpsons]]"), and therefore were not self-parodying uses.

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".

===''Dorkus Molorkus''===

:'''Bart''': You are, as they say in Latin, a Dorkus Molorkus.

:'''Lisa''': That's not Latin...

===''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''===

The process of becoming drunk, a gerund form of the pseudo-verb "To Drunken".  

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

===''Dumbening''===

The process of becoming dumber.  

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

:'''Lisa:''' [''writing''] ''Dear log, can it be true? Does every Simpson go through a process of '''dumbening'''?'' Hey, that's not how you spell 'dumbening'. Wait a minute… 'dumbening' isn't even a word!

===''Dumpster Buns''===

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.

:'''Homer''': Mmm... '''dumpster buns'''.

==E==

===''Eddie Punch-clock''===

===''Electromicide''===

===''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. 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.

==F==

===''Fantastipotamus''===

:'''[[Ron Howard]]''': Look, I'd love to help you out, Homer, but I'm taking my kids to the zoo.

:'''Homer''': That's great. Even big stars take their kids to the zoo.

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

:'''Howard's daughter''': Daddy, we're missing the '''fantastipotamus'''. She only sings twice a day.

A conflation of the words "fantastic" and "[[hippopotamus]]".

===''Farkbot''===

===''Faxtrola''===

What Burns calls a fax machine in "[[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"]]."

===''Fishmas''===

===''Flanswered''===

The state of Ned Flanders being the answer to a question or proposition.  

:'''Homer''': Single women of Springfield, your prayers have been '''Flanswered'''. Ned '''Flanswered''' that is.

From "[[Alone Again, Natura-Diddly]]".

===''Floor Pie''===

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.

===''Flunjer''===

<blockquote>''"Look at them all, through the darkness I'm bringing <br>They're not sad at all. They're actually singing!<br>They sing without juicers<br>They sing without blenders<br>They sing without '''flunjers''', [[#Capdabbler|capdabblers]] and [[#Smendler|smendlers]]!"</blockquote>

===''Foodbag''===

:'''Burns''': You, foodbag, do you have a son?

===''Foodrinkery''===

As seen on the sign for "TGI McScratchy's Goodtime Foodrinkery" in the episode [[Itchy & Scratchy Land]]

===''Forfty''===

A [[portmanteau]] of the words "Forty" and "Fifty". Possibly slang for forty-five.  

:'''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.  

===''Frinkahedron''===

In the Halloween episode "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]", Professor Frink tries to explain Homer's disappearance into the third dimension. A possible real-life analogue to the Frinkahedron is the [[Wikipedia:tesseract|tesseract]].  

:'''Frink''': (at chalkboard) Here is an ordinary square.

:'''Chief Wiggum''': Whoa, whoa, slow down, egghead!

:'''Frink''': But, suppose we extend the square beyond the two dimensions of our universe, along the hypothetical Z-axis there.

:'''Marge, Lisa, Bart, Ned, Reverend Lovejoy, Chief Wiggums, Dr. Hibbert, Patty & Selma''': [''gasps''] (as Frink draws a cube)

:'''Frink''': This forms a three-dimensional object known as a cube or a '''''Frinkahedron''''', in honor of its discoverer.

:'''Homer''': Help me! Are you helping me, or are you going on and on?

:'''Frink''': Oh, right. And, of course, within, we find the doomed individual.

===''Fuchsiatard''===

===''Fudrucker''===

===''Führerific''===

This is how Bart describes what is claimed to be Hitler's car in the episode "[[Bart Carny]]".  

:'''Bart''': It's '''Führerific'''.

===''Gamblor''===

The name [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] gives to the monstrous gambling vice that has metaphorically "enslaved" [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] in "[[$pringfield]]." The creature is purported to have neon claws.

===''Garbagewater''===

[[Homer Simpson|Homer]] spills some detritus-laced liquid from the bottom of the garbage can on his slipper while taking out the trash and coins this word, as in, "eww! '''Garbagewater'''!"

===''Gibby Gabby''===

Marge's name for the Albanian language, as uttered upon hearing the dialog from the movie "Kosovo Autumn". From the episode "[[Home Away from Homer]]".

===''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 [[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!!

===''Groin-Grabbingly''===

:'''Lisa''': Hmm. What's the English equivalent for [''drools like Homer'']? I'd say... transcendent.

:'''Homer''': How about '''groin-grabbingly''' transcendent?

:'''Lisa''': Uh... I don't think so.

:'''Homer''': We make a good team. A '''groin-grabbingly''' good team.

===''Holy Flurking Schnit''===

===''Homerhol''===

===''Homersexual''===

Later, when Homer marks Skinner as a possible mate for Selma, an imaginary [[Head-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."

===''Hoyvin-Mayvin''===

A secret project by the Motherloving Sugar Corporation to get the town of Springfield addicted to sugar in the episode "[[Sweets and Sour Marge]]." The project was named after the vocal ramblings of its creator, [[Professor Frink]]. The Professor was also the project's whistleblower.

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''.

===''Introubulate''===

The act of getting someone into trouble. From "[[I'm With Cupid]]" where Kent Brockman reads a story about how Apu is giving his wife extravagant presents for Valentine's Day, and the rest of the town's wives are annoyed at their husbands for their comparative romantic lameness.

:'''Brockman''': One Springfield man is treating his wife to an extra-special Valentine's Day this year, and '''introubulating''' the rest of us.

==J==

===''Jebeditis''===

===''Jebus''===

In popular usage on many discussion boards, such as [http://www.fark.com Fark.com], it is often deliberately used by posters as an implied "cut" or "chop" against Christians, particularly fundamentalist Christians from the Southern United States.  

===''Jiminy Jillikers''===

A phrase used by [[Radioactive Man]]'s sidekick [[Fallout Boy]], this phrase featured largely in the portion of the Radioactive Man film that was shot in Springfield. According to Radioactive Man, it is a form of profanity.

===''Johnny Lunchpail''===

A dismissive phrase describing the common man used by [[Mr. Burns]] in "[[Two Cars in Every Garage, Three Eyes on Every Fish]]".

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

:'''Mr. Burns''': '''Jumping box''', television, picto-cube, just crank it up!

===''Juzz''===

:'''Bart''': "I need you to teach me all about the world of '''juzz'''."

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

==K==

===''Knifey Spooney''===

A fictional Australian barroom game made in the episode "[[Bart vs. Australia]]", in a parody of a scene from the movie ''Crocodile Dundee'', Bart is confronted by an Australian local who shows him a spoon and says "''This'' is a knife!" Most often used in the phrase "I see you've played knifey-spooney before."

===''Knifey Wifey''===

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

===''Knowitallism''===

===''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]]

===''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 America]]n 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!"

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.

On another [[James L. Brooks]]-produced animated series ''[[Jay Sherman|The Critic]]'', Duke Phillips also made up a fictional word in Scrabble: '''quyzbuk'''. Unlike Bart, Duke was able to immediately legitimize the word by contacting Noah Webster to have the word added to Webster's Dictionary, defining it to mean "a big problem". When he found out no one was using his other word "Dukelicious", he sadly called the situation a "Duketastrophe." This episode, as well as "Bart The Genius," were written by [[Jon Vitti]], which would explain the similarities.  

A similar scene took place in the ''Dilbert'' animated series during a Scrabble match between Dilbert and the powerful supercomputer Comp-U-Comp.  Comp-U-Comp's first move was to lay down all its seven tiles randomly, spelling '''wipqozn'''; it then used its control of worldwide computer systems to immediately bring the word into circulation (in newscasts, for example). In meaning and usage, "wipqozn" seems roughly equivalent to "crap."

===''Land Cow''===

How a pilgrim 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 pilgrims 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]]."

===''Land of Chocolate''===

Germany, as described by one of the new owners of the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] in "[[Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk]]."

===''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 [[Archie Comics|Archie]] comics and in the television sitcom ''Seinfeld''.

===''Liberty Log''===

==='' Third World Loser Country''===

A term used by [[Moe Syzlak]] in [[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]] to describe a third-world nation.

''Moe:'' Freddy Quimby was with me the entire... night in question. We were collecting canned goods for the starving people in... er, you know, one of them loser countries.

===''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.
