Idiosyncratic words are words of characteristics peculiar to an individual or group. Idiosyncratic words mean one thing for a particular person, as a blade could mean war, but to someone else, it could symbolize a knighting. By the same principle, linguists state that words are not only arbitrary, but also largely idiosyncratic signs.

[edit] Examples

  • "He put his thingie in my you-know-what. - Ch. 4 and more
  • "We jumped on each other and started screwing each other." - Ch 12
  • "Guys don’t like to talk a bout you-know-what. - Ch. 16
