Words you wish existed

Make up words here.
I wish "funner" was a word to describe something that is more fun some other thing.
My ignore list

Not my word, my husband's and it was really a case of misspeaking...dramastic...dramatic and drastic and squished together into one word.

I wish that all the words that I thought meant one thing, but meant another, meant what I originally took them to mean.
Misprision being high on the list.

The words I wish existed are the Farscape cursewords. From my perspective, they hold so much more meaning than the curse words we use today.

I like the fact that in the Firefly saga, expletives are often voiced in Chinese. That rocks my world.

i actually found it annoying. I recently watched the show, and to be honest I can see why it was cancelled. More hype was made regarding how great it was than actually how great it was.
In
Farscape, one watching the show knew what the particular words meant due to context. They used singular words.
In
Firefly, one did not know what the Chinese meant unless one spoke it or one read the subtitles. They used entire phrases.
