Psyche; thought you were getting another "nonword" post, huh? Sometimes awesome new words are so admirably perfect, one must do a 180; thus, this post on two new words you should use often and loudly (okay, well wanksta isn't really that new, but it still drips of awesomeness):
wanksta – noun – a person who acts or dresses like a gangster but who is not involved in crime. Origin – 20th century, from wannabe + gangsta, phonetic rendering of gangster; also influenced by wanker. [Collins English Dictionary]
adorkable – adjective – socially inept or unfashionable in a charming or endearing way. Origin – 21st century, from adorable + dork; also influenced by social media and the television series New Girl. [Collins news article from the Guardian]
Cheers.
