phugly

Anyone who went to college before 1999 knows that "phugly" and "fugly" refer to one thing and one thing only. In the vernacular - and yes, this is crude slang (but this IS web site devoted to 'urban' and not necessarily to 'urbane' language usage)- the word "phugly/fugly" was coined as a contraction of the phrase "fucking ugly." Sorry, "phat" was never part of the equation.

1) "No doubt about it, that was one phugly dude."

2) "I don't know how to tell you this, honey, but your new outfit is... phugly."

notopos

Coined from Greek and Latin, originally defined as "nowhere" or "no place." This word was coined and first published by Jonas Moses, in 1987. While originally intended as an inside joke between college friends, the word "notopos" has re-appeared frequently over the past ten or more years (seen in one publication or another since the early 1990's) in reference to lofty ideas such as universal enlightenment, to everyday observations about Life and human relationships and, more pragmatically, as the name of a company engaged in Internet-based business services.

1) {Philosophy} "Where can Truth be found, my friend? In 'notopos,' of course!"

2) {Slang} "Dude, don't let her get to you...that woman is 'notopos!'"

3) {Business}: "'notopos univers' wishes to announce it new Cell and Tissue Engineering Division."
