8/30/2010 - SHENANIGAN: mischief; prankishness (is that even a real word? LMAO)

Is now.

real as chit...

yes ... been used as long as I can remember ... Irish roots.

LOL I know shenanigan is a real word but the description "prankishness" doesn't seem like a real word.

she·nan·i·gan

she·nan·i·gan [shə nánnigən]
(plural she·nan·i·gans)
n (informal)
1. questionable act: something that is deceitful, underhanded, or otherwise questionable (usually used in the plural)
2. trick or prank: a playful trick, mischievous prank, or other display of high spirits


[Mid-19th century. Origin ?]

verbs are pretty much carved in stone but adverbs are freely bastardized.
I think "your" has already replaced "you're" as an acceptable contraction.

okay ... let's break it down... prank is a word for sure

prankish then is definately a word ...ish mening like
ness most often means ... of or kind of like
so your are saying ... kind of like prake like which comes across a bit redundant in speach so ... most likely would not be accepted as a useful word.


only with the uneducated text crowd ... and they have no authority.

your still means it belongs to you
and
you're is still an abreviation for you are


and actually the text crowd probably uses UR ... or yur more often.

I should get a cell phone... they seem to be catching on

I text a lot but I can't handle it when people actually type that way when they have a full keyboard and are not restricted to 160 characters.
