I’ve been texting more lately (thanks mostly to Heather, Alex and maybe a little Dawn) and was just looking through my cell phone’s custom dictionary, where it puts the words that I have to teach it how to spell. It made me realize that the “custom” words we use are a nice little snapshot of what makes us different (at least different from the demographic that the cell phone T9 dictionary guys are targetting, anyway). Also it’s fun looking at the odder entries and trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about when I used them.

Here’s my custom dictionary, with the personally identifiable stuff removed:

I am amused that I have both ‘Kk’ and ‘kk’, and that it’s necessary to have both ‘fucked’ and ‘fuck’, and the proximity to ‘exes’ there is surely a coincidence. (?!) Also,

¹ See also Jerk City.

² There’s a pair of words you don’t see together nearly often enough.

³ I’m not sure what ‘manatee’ goes with. ‘Buttsechs’? ‘Scorsese’? ‘Yodeling’? No matter where you put it, it’s a little disturbing.
