@VeroniqueB99 Yeah I’m stealing this. “We’re in a real fucktangular situation!” Is too good to not use 😆

@VeroniqueB99 I found myself using “multi-angle fuckery” a while ago in a good context. Felt proud. Now I want to change it! Hahah.

One of my students has used the word "fucktangular" in an informal essay to describe a situation that was complicated and messy in multiple unpleasant and difficult ways

I am in the presence of greatness and I am stealing this word

@VeroniqueB99 I am so stealing fucktangular

@VeroniqueB99 I reposted this with a heavy heart, but now everything is perfect. Thank you for the AltText.

@VeroniqueB99
I thought that was an adjective describing a sixty nine sided shape.

@VeroniqueB99 totally adding this to my dictionary.

@VeroniqueB99 Reminds me of a similarly contexted word going around a week ago, terfucken. It's a matrioshka doll of shitfuckery.

Shitfuckery was I think coined by the Aussie Youtubers, the Honest Government Ad people, I think during the Trump admin. So we have three conjoined terms about how deeply F'd we are.

@VeroniqueB99 i am feeling displaced

@VeroniqueB99 I like it.

@VeroniqueB99 One of my writing students invented the word "bipolarbearish". Not as useful in daily life as "fucktangular", but still notable.

@VeroniqueB99 Worse than pear-shaped, clearly!

@VeroniqueB99 perpenfuckdicular

So, Nostradamus has been reborn, and he is now prognosticating about the direction of worldly events. :bl46:

@VeroniqueB99 Nomination for 2024 Word of the Year.

@VeroniqueB99

It's hard to feel bad about stealing a word—it's value increases with each use, but no one can collect on it.

However "share freely, and attribute the source" could be of great pleasure and esteem to the creator.

@VeroniqueB99

-tangular riffs on lots of great themes. Slapping fuck on the front of a invented word imposes a suitable gravitas.

Love it.

You could go for fecktangular too!

@VeroniqueB99 daaamn… that is a very superior word. Stealing, you betcha!

@VeroniqueB99

This word is regularly used by fucktards in Australia.

@VeroniqueB99 Adopted also :mastodon: :owi:

@VeroniqueB99 It was a fucktacular enshittification.

@VeroniqueB99 This one goes on the shelf, right alongside "fucktacular" 👌

@VeroniqueB99 Someone once said to me, "Well, fuck-a-doodle-do," and I too was in the presence of greatness. This is better.

@VeroniqueB99 can i shorten it to f*~*ktanga!?

@VeroniqueB99 Soooo “fuckin’ rectangular”? In the same ball park as staycaytion. I’m not fond of those words, sorry.

@VeroniqueB99 Souns good, I will borrow it 😉

@VeroniqueB99 I like 'Wicked' which had a similar definition the days of System Dynamics and "learning organizations".

@VeroniqueB99 If fucktangular is an adjective, "Irregular fucktagon" must be a noun phrase.

@VeroniqueB99 Adopting😃😀

@VeroniqueB99 @briankrebs Insufficient sides. This world is more like a dofuckahedron.

@VeroniqueB99 probably very descriptive of the US for the next 4 years

@VeroniqueB99 I am so going to use it :-D

@VeroniqueB99 'fubared' is my go-to but I do like 'fucktangular'. (In geology at uni rocks that were so messed up by faulting and metamorphism as to be unrecognisable were what we called 'fubarite' :) )

@jessesheidlower must know about this.

@VeroniqueB99 @raganwald

@VeroniqueB99 In my circles we refer to such situations as "multiple fuckulations".

@VeroniqueB99

And when it all goes to 💩 then the result is fucktacular!
