News Snowvinism

Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Jan 21, 2008 at 4:47 PM

I made up a word on Saturday.

Snowvinism

Main entry: snowÂ·vinÂ·ism

Pronunciation: \ËˆsnÅ-vÉ™-ËŒni-zÉ™m\

Function: noun

Date: 2008

1) excessive faith in your ability to drive better in snow or ice than the rest of these idiots because you're from up North, where people know what real snow is; also: behavior expressive of such an attitude

â€” snowÂ·vinÂ·ist \snÅ-vÉ™-nist\ noun or adjective

â€” snowÂ·vinÂ·isÂ·tic \ËŒsnÅ-vÉ™-Ëˆnis-tik\ adjective

â€” snowÂ·vinÂ·isÂ·tiÂ·calÂ·ly \snÅ-vÉ™-Ëˆnis-ti-k(É™-)lÄ“\ adverb

I am definitely a snowvinist.
