"nother"
Do when do you think "nother" is going to make it into the dictionary as its own word? As in, "After using up so much ice cream, we're going to need a whole nother carton." Can I even tell you how often I hear people splitting "another" with adjectives?

Oh wow. Thanks for dragging me back to Virginia Beach for a few seconds. My Mother practically invented "nother", along with "idear". As in, "Kenny, I have no idear where your Daddy got off too. He's in a whole 'nother frame of mind right now." And Daddy was most likely "three sheets to the wind" on canned Budweiser. Twenty four of them. And he got a speeding ticket on an Native American-named street in our neighborhood that she could never correctly pronounce. And this was on the way back from Taco Bell with a bag of chicken "frakita's". Thankful as I am on some level, that I was adopted.
I hope so. If the English language wants for anything then it's more pointless words.
OK?
