Hitonious Did Not Make the Cut

I'm crushed, crestfallen.
Recently, new words were added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
I've used the word, hitonious, since I made it up back in high school.
The word has served me well for lo these many years.
I vowed to do my best to get it into the dictionary where it belongs.
But, alas, my efforts proved fruitless.
Words such as ginormous, crunk, and sudoku were deemed worthy, but hitonious was not.
My efforts DID, however, cause many a blogger to begin using this necessary word.
For those of you who do not know, hitonious means beyond horrid.
You use it when something is horrendous and hideous and horrid combined.
It is used when those words are not enough to express the... uh.... HITONIOUS nature of something.
For example...
A mullet is horrid.
A mullet on a greasy, 500 lb. man who is wearing lipstick and sporting a plumber's crack is HITONIOUS!
You get the picture.
You see why this word is a necessary addition to our language.
Hitonious was passed over by smackdown, microgreen, Bollywood and speed dating.
Can you believe that???
Google this fabulous, yet unacknowledged word, and you will see that it has been used many times by my wonderful blog buddies.
Use it well!
Use it often!
Spread the word ALL over Blogdom!!
Use it as an adjective (hitonious) or adverb (hitoniously) or noun (hitoniousness).
Together WE WILL get this word included in the dictionary!!
To show that you understand the meaning of hitonious, please prove it by including an example in the comments:

Unflushed poop in a public toilet is hideous.
Corn and raisin-infested poop in a grocery store aisle is HITONIOUS!

This weekend, feel free to leave several examples using hitonious in the comments.
I plan to put a Make Hitonious a Word link on my sidebar, so we can continue coming up with uses for this vital word.
Hitonious deserves to be recognized as a REAL word!

Addendum: In the comments, Paul asked, "What's a mullet?"
This is a picture of Paul:

Having to clear your inbox of spam is horrible. Having to eat a plateful of spam is hitonious!

Hitonious is also an important word poetically as one of the only words in existence to rhyme with ceremonious.

I am glad you defined it for us. I have always associated it with hilarious. It should be in the dictionary, Jamie Dawn, better luck next time!

I can't think of the word hitonious without thinking of you, j.d. I mean that in a good way, though.

I LOVE this word, JD! Let's see...What is Horrid to one person, MIGHT be Hitonious to another....! Like I personally think Poop ANYWHERE except in the toilet or a diaper is Hitonious!
But I'm sure there are those that would not agree with me...And that is okay...It is certainly NOT Hitonious...

We will get this in the Dictionary yet, my dear JD.

It has been a million years since I have had a homework assignment and I feel like this blogger friend has given me a hitonious task!

What's a mullet?

Blogger Rachel said...

Oh My!! What a ......neat picture of Paul. Are you SURE that's him?? So that is a mullet? Ugly ain't it?

Eating raw bugs would be hitonious!! Very hitonious!!!

This word will make the cut next time JD. It's way better than smackdown. And if they don't pick hitonious next time we'll smack em down!!!

That picture of Paul is hitonious. That's f'sure!

Very little was ceremonious
'Bout Jamie's word hitonious
Not making the cut
Hooboy, but
That mullet of Paul's sure should be.

All the guys my age here in BFE wear mullets. Now you know why I am home alone on Friday night. Its absolutely hitonious!

Indie: acrimonious.

"Corn and raisin-infested poop in a grocery store aisle..." Thank you for the mental image! THAT itself was hitonious.

Not sure how to comment on hitonious, other than to say I LOVE THAT WORD !!
Hope you are well.
Take care, Meow

Better luck next year! If that mulleted , 500 lb. man who is wearing lipstick and sporting a plumber's crack is a greasy neighbor .... maybe you should think about pushing him in your "pool". Hitonious , creepin' me out!

It is quite felonious
to NOT include HITONIOUS,
in one's daily vocabulary
and Miriam-Webster dictionary.

Seeing a spider in your house is hideous.

Finding half a spider in your sandwich is HITONIOUS!

I was sure I posted yesterday- but I guess it didn't go!

...the most HITONIOUS thing I can imagine is NOT having that word in the dictionary where it belongs!

After your grocery store example my brain is stuck in bowel movement mode so here's mine. Farting on a public bus is hideous. Taking a laxative before leaving home and then farting on a public bus is HITONIOUS!

I remember "ginormous" from the late 70's - early 80's. We had a friend in elementary school who was ginormous and his name was very similar. Wonder if we started the trend... anyone remember it earlier than that?

Blogger b13 said...

Oh, and I know some hitoneous people... I'm just glad they are not fellow bloggers :)

Blogger Mountain Mama said...

In my opinion, hitonious certainly should be included in our dictionary. We need a word to describe something worse than horrid. Horrider does not work.
To step on a snake is horrid, to sit on one is hitonious!

The picture of Paul takes me back. All I can say is "Hitonious!"

man i can't believe it didn't make the cut, now that is Hitonious!! oh and i can't believe you posted a man with a mullet on your blog, to funny!!

Blogger OldOldLady Of The Hills said...

Jamie Dawn Dear....Did you see Rachel's post in which she used the word "HITONIUS" in the title?
FUN! Maybe if we all use it enough, it WILL get into the disctionary!!!

Blogger Jim said...

Ok, Jamie, I will be nicer now. I looked 'hitonious' up in the Urban Dictionary and got this: "Hitonious isn't defined yet."

This is an invitation for it to be defined. You can be famous and make the entry or I will for you.

Hitonious quote: "A surprise is a lump in a fart." I'm sorry to say that quote is from my spouse. Just had to add it to the other bodily function quotes.

I once say this hitonious cross dressing crack dealer with a mullet and he was taking a crap on the side of the road with his butt fully exposed. The hitoniousness of it sent me to dilerium for an absolute hitonious number of years!!

Blogger OldHorsetailSnake said...

Sorry, Jamie, but I have my own campaign going on, for: RIOTONIUS. You remember this, surely. It means funnier than two riots. I don't know if there's a need for it, but it deserves a pat on the back, I think.

That's the most enterprising mullet I've ever seen.

JD ~ What a totally hitonious situation by you not getting the Dictionary nod! By the way... Paul's coiffure makes me think a Mullet may not actually be so bad after all! Is he perhaps a plumber? ~ jb///

What an oversight on their part.

I love word play and word meanings.
This is clever! It would have made it to the newspaper column contest that used to run in our area. I love the sound of how creepy hitonius is.I would not want to be "hit on" by a hitonius person or creature! ;)

I hate to break it to you but the nice folks at Merriam-Webster might listen more carefully if you spelled their name correctly.

Having gotten that off my chest, let me say that my husband and I really enjoy reading your blog. Thank you for your view of the world and its craziness. We appreciate you!

Thanks for pointing out my hitonious error!!

Dear Jamie! I've run into a practical problem. Do you something is a hitonious something, or is it an hitonious something? This is hard. :-)

I believe the word "w00t" is hitonious.
