<div>Why does the long "e" sound at the end of the word have to be spelled "ie?" Is this a rule of made-up-word grammar? Can't it be "y," or even "ee," if one isn't at all particular about spelling things phonetically?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amooa.tribe.net">Amooa</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I inaugurate the amooa tribe with the word meepsie: <br/> <br/>Meepsie [adj.]: <br/> <br/>[from my livejournal] <br/> <br/>"Meepsie is the way you feel when you want to do something, but don't because you are embarrassed for some stupid reason. Like, if you want to dance, but you don't because you think your butt looks too big in this outfit, you don't because you feel all meepsie. If you want to ask someone out, but don't, because you think they are out of your league, it's meepsiness, all over. If you got chocolate when you asked for vanilla, or got mayo when you said to hold the mayo, but you don't say anything about it because you don't want the waiter to think you are a dick... what you are feeling is meepsie. Think of tiny, afraid, unprotected little baby chickens bippling around going "Meep! Meep! Please don't eat me, Mr. Big Bad World!" That's meepsie.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://amooa.tribe.net">Amooa</a> - 4 replies </div>
