A new word needed

pshrynk · 07-15-2008, 09:35 AM

So, I use Ask.com to search on the web. Mostly becasue I like chimpanzees and they use them in their ads. no real other reason. But, when I "Google" something, everyone knows what I'm talking about. But if I "Ask" something, it is already a verb and doesn't get the point across.

We need a new verb, one that is apparently a verbization of a nounified verb. I was going to use "Askify" but that has already been used by some wargamers and comes up when you "Ask" it. That won't work for this experiment, so I am proposing this as the Verbization:

Askate.

I will askate that for you. In fact when I askated it just now, there were no hits, except for asking me if I really meant "skate."

Now, we all use it a bit and see how quickly this meme infects the rest of society.

pshrynks have strange and evil minds, sometimes.

Could use 'ask' as the suffix.

How about 'chimpask'?

I will chimpask that for you. In fact when I chimpasked it just now,...

in our attempts to keep services going while we are experienceing technical difficulties, we have been askated to inform the general public that that website is in french and therefore does not count for introjecting a meme into an english thinking population. thank you.

Be careful. Someone with a speech impediment might mispronounce it as chimpas'.

But I read it as "parse", not "behind".
