Why isn't 'tignet' a word

seems like it should be. And 'restamental'. That would be a great word. Say it - restamental. Lovely. Almost enverwong. (yep, made that up too).

What does it mean?

It's not a word, so it doesn't mean anything. Yet.

make up a meaning I'll say it. I have a pathetic grasp on the English language anyway :P

A 'tign' (pronounced like 'sign') is the distance you have to stand behind someone at an ATM so you are both comfortable. A 'tignet' is one tenth of a tign.

I like restamental.

I will use it tomorrow.

I thought tignet was what you caught big cats with in Asia.

And surely enverwong is something Jonathan Ross would say.

haha all these can be used in my interview tomorrow :D

I've just invented 'Wrongratulations', for when you have to congratulate someone and you don't think they deserve it.

'Shvenker'. I like the word 'shvenker'. Not sure what it means because I've only just thought it up but nevertheless, I like it a lot. 'Shvenker'.

Wrongratulations, Martin.

When I was younger, I used to say "Giznoshzalibu" (Giz-noh-jah-lee-boo) and it drove my brother crazy. When he asked what it meant, I said "I don't know". So, if someone asks you something and you don't know the answer, say "Giznoshzalibu"!

How about Neandapoop.
Or Ejiot
