umness

1. Universal, descriptive word, used when a definitive definition is neither sought nor intended
2. Positive or negative taunt, dependant on expression, situation and person using it
3. The act of being um

Examples of um and umness in everyday speech:

1. As a taunt:
"Hey Truck, did you end up going to see Star Wars?"
"Star Wars is um cobber, I'm not paying to see that umness"

2. As a question:
"What are you planning on doing with all that umness champ?"

"Nah, I still feel pretty um from last night"

4. As a statement of frustration

(note: the longer you hold onto the 'a' in 'that's' is a direct reflection to the amount of frustration felt. For example: "47 minutes until the next train? Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's um" would infer a great deal of frustration)

UMS

UMS is an acronym for "Unfortunate Misspell". Whereas one would type in not after any misspell, but an unfortunate one. It's for those cases when the sentence changes meaning to something completely different. The acronym is there for support, when sarcastic comments are flying around after someone misspelled something that was rather unfortunate.
