Lately, my typing has become so bad that I have to fix about every third word. Aside from not releasing the shift key, the worst is the two-letter reversal. On the other hand, it does result in some intriguing new words, some actually real. Are there common (or uncommon) mistakes you make like this? And can you provide a definition of your new word? For example:

copulet - a brief romantic encounter


aminal - a creature with two amino groups on the same carbon aton


meatbolism - a splinter sect of the Pastafarians, not worshipping the noodles


hwen - a small, flightless bird found in the Seychelle Islands


theri - a small chapeau outside of Paris, site of the battle of Chapeau Theri in World War I, where the Germans got their hats knocked off


thrid - An inhabitant of Omigod Delta V, known mainly for its mangy hair

Just looking at my own output today I've found:

Cron - the god of Comam the Barbarian

Intrenal - of, or pertaining to, the kidneys

Dobule - the smallest unit of fat in Lou Dobb's head


And an amazing double reversal:

Ervrese - Sister of Frowrad in Wagner's Tirstan und Islode

When Mike Alexander first started this thread, I thought I might try it out too.

After the multitude of posts I made since then... Each of which made Fazor look like a Master Typist...
I ended up with two lists. One list that took up two full thread pages on BAUT and temporarily brought the server down.

And the other list consisted mostly of incomprehensible gibberish that I couldn't make heads or tails of and was further lengthened during the making of this post.

potomist: someone who hopes to score some weed.

netrails: the inner workings of the web.

ommentum: mass x velocity of a Buddhist chant.

Ragentina: the party country.

There were actually a couple that I didn't understand. I mean, I didn't understand what the typo was supposed to be. Three actually, and they're by different people so can I just ask for some hints:

copulet (it's got to be something simple, but I don't get it).
flipitor (have no idea of that one, just an f before lipitor? How can you make a typo like that?)
mir (a typo for "rim"?)

As above, so below

copulet is derived from couplet. A 'rhyming copulet' sounds interesting, maybe what Lord Byron liked to engage in.

My guess is that 'mir' is the Standard American pronunciation of 'mirror'. See: 'Woostershire'. Not really a mistype, more of a mistounge. I mean mistongue, of course.

Hah. What the heck is a mistounge?

I could easily type 'the properties of lipitor' as 'the properties o flipitor'.
But I think Flipitor is a hero whose super power is the ability to buy a house and quickly resell it at a fat profit.

Then there is 'porfit', which refers to my clothing after a major holiday.

'vioce', LAtin for voice. Even sounds approximately right.

And as I was typing above I dscovered LAtin, which is slang for aftermarket car body panels made in Los Angeles.

I messed up.

I was trying to be clever but it backfired. Like usual.

See what I mean?

I originally wrote "like always" which didn't sound correct, so I erased always

And that was after I culled SNAFU.
