udgeon words - real and imagined

THE place to be if you are a well-defined udgeon word. All such are invited to move in now. Existence here derives from sionnach's interpretation of humdudgeon.

The joy of adding words to this list is something akin to the joy of putting hot fudge on a banana split. Or finding a piece of donkey's gudge on your pillow.

Lovely, sionnach. There's a space on the list for phrases such as these to go round (!), I imagine.

Good grief! I added 'the s-udgeon word' to this list and it arrived on the 'Recent words' feed in the middle of hundreds of words of horrendous afflictions and diseases. Thank heavens I noticed and deleted it to add another day when it can be associated with more appropriate words. Anyone reading would have thought schadenfreudgeon was an ugly plague instead of the beautiful word that it is, meaning simply 'mixed feelings of extreme pleasure and indignant humour'. Spread the word.

Er.. Um ... gangerh..? I don't really bear any tangential responsibility for the starting of this list, do I? Please tell me your passionate embrace of the 'udgeon' phoneme (or maybe it's a morpheme, I don't know the difference) predates my listing the word humdudgeon.

Not that your passion is anything but admirable. Nothing scary about it at all.

Yes, sionnach? Yes. It postdates it, humdudgeon is its mumdudgeon.
