I like new words that describe things in ways that other existing words can't. Last year, I was very happy that ginormous made it into the dictionary as a new word. Generally, I correct the kids when they use bad grammar or the wrong word in a sentence, but sometimes I hear a few that I like. Annika is very creative in her use of vocabulary and on occasion, she comes up with some Annika-isms:
Crookedy:
Pronunciation:\ˈkru̇-kə-tē\
Function: adjective
Def: not straight
Used by Annika: "I couldn't zip by jacket because the zipper was all crookedy."
Freezy:
Pronunciation:\ˈfrēz-ē\
Function:adjective
Def: to be chilly
Used by Annika: "It is cold in here, and I am really freezy"
I hope you enjoy these new words and feel free to use them. If you have heard her use others, please post and let me know. I would love a few more to submit to Merriam Webster.

Hi,
Crookedy is my favorite, though I am quite freezy myself this morning. 21 degrees out. Brrr.
I Love You,

It is pretty freezy here in Phoenix too. Perfect word.
It got even freezy-er here on the east coast. NINE degrees at the moment. Brrrrr.
