The Lexicon

[only1kcm]

"Wroten" will be added to the dictionary!

[Milz]

Is anyone keeping a JJ Dictionary list? IIRC, years ago someone had a Judy Judy Lexicon on line.

Anyhow, some words:

bickerment

borrow (as in "I borrowed her the money")

boughten

conversate (but it's now in OED,from what I understand)

fraudulate

tooken

wroten

Yes, we have quite an extensive JJ dictionary.

[Milz]

Thanks angela, that's the page I remember.

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

Helloooo ladies and gents! Popping over from TWOP and glad to be here!

Please add to your dictionary: Axed (or maybe it's Aksed?)

As in "I never axed my cousin to broughten me the money"

[Patssy Stoned]

I remember "bicker-backer".

 

Tooken drives me right up the wall.

[BellaLugosi]

Proceeded to.  It's a real phrase, but I don't think people use it in conversation as often as they do on these court shows. 

[Toaster Strudel]

No one added the brilliant IRREGARDING?

[Milz]

Heard this on a re-run case.

 

Agreeance: (noun) an agreement

 

pronounciation: "agree-ance".

 

Usage: "Me and her made an agreeance for the rent."

[BellaLugosi]

Fluvulous.  A lawsuit without merit.  Also known as frivolous. 

[zillabreeze]

Did anyone hear the litagant say her boyfriend had been "carpenting" for a living?

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

Heard over and over again - "Due to the fact that. . . " as in "I didn't have insurance due to the fact that I had to buy my baby mama a new phone"  - Hello, people, just use the word "BECAUSE". (and the Grammar Nazi says get off my lawn due to the fact that you are using bad English)

[BellaLugosi]

Yes! It's dumb people trying to sound smart. 

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

Or when people "conversate". Or when they have a verbal discussion - what, you can't have a physical discussion or a mental one where you just think and the other person reads your mind?

[Lonesome Rhodes]

I like when folks declare they have done, or are about to do, "money business."

[AngelaHunter]

What drives me mad is the constant use of  "Proceeded". "I proceeded to run a bath/ he proceeded to throw a lamp at my head/she proceeded to punch me numerous of times, etc.

 

While watching some old eps today, I heard a good one. "I was in need of upgrading my transportation." =  "I wanted to buy a newer hooptie."

[Toaster Strudel]

My house was bulgarized.  I heard that this week.

[arejay]

My house was bulgarized. I heard that this week.

I heard it, too, and floved it immediately.

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

 

My house was bulgarized.  I heard that this week.

Did a Bulgarian do it? Did they steal your bulgar?

[Milz]

 

Did a Bulgarian do it?

 

lol. you come home and find it completely furnitured in Bulgarian products.

[BellaLugosi]

"You haven't let me present my case!" This is grammatically correct, but usually comes after someone has been talking for 15 minutes, and Judge Judy is sick of them and daydreaming of sushi. 

[zillabreeze]

Heard this jewel on a vintage case this week: " I pacifically told him that he could not..."  Someone said that to me once and I used "atlantically" in my answer, of course it went unoticed!

[MrsEVH]

Over the last two days she used "Kafuffle"  (sp?).

[Milz]

Kerfuffle. It's a real word. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/kerfuffle

[Lonesome Rhodes]

"Borrow me" a computer.

 

My brother has used this for years and years.  He is currently spending long overdue time in our local correctional institution.  Alas, English is not taught there.

[mbutterfly]

Heard this on a re-run case.

 

Agreeance: (noun) an agreement

 

pronounciation: "agree-ance".

 

Usage: "Me and her made an agreeance for the rent."

I hadn't ever heard "agree-ance" until Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy used it this week on The View. So they got the word from plaintiffs and defendants on JJ -- interesting. 

[zillabreeze]

Oh for craps sake!  If it's an image of something it's PICTURE, not a PITCHER!  Middle aged woman on rerun today kept wanting to show JJ "pitchers of her car", "pitchers of her street".  Unless you are under the age of five, get it f-ing right.  It's like nails on a chalkboard.

 

Also, the other day someone used that other jewel- "supposaBly".

[MrMattyMatt]

I'm sorry but the mainstream media seriously need to put the axe on the "I axed him a question"  conundrum.  

[Intocats]

A new one for the lexicon! "Passengers-by" -- as uttered by the defendant in the San Francisco Baby Sling Chihuahua case.

"I always keep my dog from interfering with the passengers-by on the sidewalk." Obviously it didn't work that day.

You guys might not be as old as I am, but these three litigants reminded me of Peter, Paul and Mary, with dogs instead of guitars.

(edited because I can't spell "chihuahua"!)

[MrsEVH]

Snookered is another one.

[designing1]

Today's plaintiff "visualized" someone hitting a dog with an umbrella as opposed to "seeing" it. The two are not the same, and it's too bad this otherwise reasonably intelligent woman felt the need to go with the big, incorrect word as opposed to the simple, appropriate word. 

[DoctorK]

Just as good was "their campers were subsequent to that car". I don't think that someone who uses fancy sounding words when they don't know what they mean is necessarily intelligent or educated, my experience has been the opposite. Plus I was surprised that JJ let her get away several times with responding to direct questions with completely non responsive answers consisting of totally irrelevant statements. Finally, she sure sounded to me like she was reciting a memorised script, which would explain the non responsive answers.

[FairyDusted]

The whole Proceeded to.... bugs me to know no end. I was helping someone get together a manuscipt and she abused it to, so much I quit! Real people do not tell a personal story like that.

Moving on to coversate... Apollo from The Real Housewives of Atlanta uses that as well. As a matter of fact, I'd Flove if Judge Judy would conduct all those reunions! Can you imagine?!

[BellaLugosi]

Fisteses is not a word!  There's a video on youtube, Judge Judy vs Nene.

[Rick Kitchen]

I heard a new one today.  A woman was suing a driver for hitting her teenaged daughter while the daughter was jaywalking.  The mother said in the hallterview that her daughter had suffered a "head collision."

[Milz]

Did the car get into a concussion?

[DoctorK]

Oh my, from today's case with the missing car title and the large defendant with blonde and blue hair:

 

he knew full headedly ...

apparently meaning ahead of time?

 

P.S. Milz - the car was treated for minor injuries and released.

Edited June 6, 2014 by DoctorK

[Toaster Strudel]

We must add:

 

Full-headedly

 

...which has nothing to do with luscious hair, as you full-headedly know already.

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

Full-headedly made me shout at the TV "that's going in the dictionary!!"

[iwasish]

The number of mangled and misused words used are in direct correlation to the amount of BS the litigant is trying to put past JJ.

[Brattinella]

"Had went" just KILLS me.

[MrsEVH]

Can we have a thread for some of the favorite things that Judge Judy says?

[DebbieW]

I grind my teeth every time someone says "textes" as in "I have the textes that she sent me saying she owes me the money."

[Guest]

Can we have a thread for some of the favorite things that Judge Judy says?

 

Here you go.  By the way, you guys are free to start topics you don't have to wait for me.  But, if you need help, PM or ping me.

[poeticlicensed]

"under the understanding" is one of my faves. When I gave my loser boyfriend the money, it was under the understanding that he would pay me back once he got his taxes. 

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

When I gave my loser boyfriend the money, it was under the understanding that he would pay me back once he got his taxes.

 

Actually, to be correct in the JJ universe, the sentence should read "WHENEVER I gave (or borrowed!) my loser boyfriend the money..."

[zillabreeze]

Today, one of the parties "kept getting phone calls 'spearadicly'" - I'm guessing "sporadically".

[Quof]

I couldn't decide if she meant "periodically" or "sporadically."  

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

"Being that fact that". . . or "due to the fact that"  (instead of because)

 

As in "Being the fact that I had no driver's license my cousin put the car in her name"

 

then there's always the "I spoke to her verbally" (as opposed to telepathically?!?!)

 

And I cannot remember if it was JJ or People's Court - "slumplord" (as in "That guy is a slumplord because he got mad because I didn't pay rent due to the fact that the house was filled with roaches/ rats/ mice/ garbage/ no water/ no heat/ stains on the carpet my kids made with magic markers and kool aid")

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

Did my ears deceive me or did some guy say "stampelled" (instead of stampeded?) on one of the reruns the other day?
