More Made Up Words

Another favorite, forgotten for so long:

oncurring.

Obviously an amalgam of ongoing and occurring. Sort of like an even more retarded sounding irregardless.

Me: "You need to return to work, as soon as you are feeling better.

Client: "But I can't. I have an oncurring disability."

When I heard this word used in this sentence, I just about spit my hot Starbucks out of my mouth, or blew it out of my nose, I don't remember which. Again, we are dealing with a fairly well-educated individual. One who is (or should be) smart enough to know that this is not a word.

Of course, if he holds out, it may end up in a dictionary...like irregardless.
