List of neologisms on The Simpsons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Simpsons, an
animated television series, has used and coined many
neologisms for humorous effect. The most famous example is Homer Simpson's signature annoyed grunt, "
D'oh!" which has been listed in the
Oxford English Dictionary, in addition to smaller references such as
OUP's single-volume
Oxford Dictionary of English (second edition).
Few of the following would qualify as
neologisms from a strict lexicological perspective due to their extremely limited use outside of the show. For those that have found their way into regular use, the route passes through the considerable fan-base where use of these words carries the prestige of
pop-culture literacy among those who catch the references, just as among other cultural groups a clever parallel to a well-known phrase from the literary or rhetorical canon would be acknowledged.
The following is presented more as a glossary of words or phrases invented by the show which one or more characters use in regular speech, as though intended as real terms. This does not include names of invented
characters,
locations, or
products.
oh and let us not forget internet message boards with our little lingos, the inner city getto speak ect.
[edit- there poof all gone cap'n]
