Lol. Cromulent isn’t really a word. It was on The Simpsons…brief explanation:
The town motto of Springfield is “A noble soul embiggens the smallest man” or something like that. And when someone questioned the validity of the word “embiggens” one of the teachers said that it was a perfectly cromulent word. So now I use the word cromulent.
You kind of had to be there. :D</p>
<p>“mmmm…sacrelicious…”</p>
<p>lol but i looked up cromulent on dictionary.com and it had an entry!</p>
<p>oh. whoops. hee hee. the simpsons. “but i don’t even believe in jebus! save me jebus!” so many simpsons’ quotes, so little time.</p>
<p>since this is the countdown… here its almost 2 am, so its sunday, which means its only 4 days till the 15th!!! 4 DAYS!!!</p>
<p>and yes I should be sleeping by now ;)</p>
<p>cromulent has since become a word.</p>
<p>‘Chortled’ wasn’t a word until Lewis Carrol put it in that weird poem. Now it is. Hey, to occupy ourselves until Thursday night, let’s make up words and string them into a story. Maybe some of them will enter mainstream English.</p>
<p>I’ll start: There once was a comblastular who found a strange erkelbare while yippering amongst the hanglefangs. So he chaplisted to the wise ormbalger to ask what he should do with said erkelbare…</p>
<p>by tomorrow morning we’ll be in the double digits as far as hours go… ahhhhh</p>
<p>The ormbalger cast a glance at the erkelbare and triffled. “You should deriscate that turkient elkelbare this very instant.” The comblastular was taken aback, totally ruscilated . . . .</p>
<p>You realize this story makes no sense seeing as we can’t make out what the new words mean</p>
<p>Ahh double digit hours!!! The sophomore in my BC Calc class has been lovingly counting down hours for me for the last couple of days…it’s starting to get on my nerves haha</p>
<p>my calc class is insane. we have maybe 5 people applying early to prestigious schools in my whole grade. and 4 are in my calc class. we haven’t been able to accomplish anything for about a week</p>
<p>my whole calc class is applying to prestigious schools. It’s gonna be one crazy week.</p>
<p>…not that we usually accomplish much in calc class</p>
<p>my multivariable calc class is insane, basically everyone’s applying to an elite college.</p>
<p>Ah, stressful calc classes. Last year, my BC class went from the most stressed group of people in the school to the most thrilled/relaxed group. Every senior applied early. Every senior got in. Princeton, Georgetown, Upenn, Middlebury, Williams, YALE, and two to Duke.</p>
<p>The guy who applied to Yale heard last, because, as we all know, Yale releases their EA decisions rather late. I think by the end the ramification of his possible rejection that he was most concerned about was “breaking the streak.” Fortuanately, we never found out what would have happened, as he was happily accepted :D.</p>
<p>I wonder if some of that amazing luck rubbed off on me…</p>
<p>yeah soo many people are applying from my school early to prestigious schools, and come to think of it, a good percentage are in my bc calc class, lol. we’ve got 3 harvard (4 grade total), 2 yale (5 total), 4 princeton (all in bc), 1 columbia (2 total, who both got in), a couple stanford, brown and mit and many penn (with many more total).</p>
<p>10/14 of my bc class is applying early to an Ivy.</p>
<p>we got 3 yale (all in multivar), 3 penn (6 total), 3 stanford (5 total), 1 columbia(got in) (2 total), 1 mit, 1 princeton</p>
<p>pretty much the top 40-50 out of 350 kids in my school are applying early to ivy caliber schools.</p>
<p>suckas.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m the only one in my Calc class applying to an Ivy early. :)</p>
