My thoughts of the day are on the suffix, "tastic."
Tastic
This is a suffix that I have been misusing so much that it now changes the definition of the only word that I know of that actually ends with tastic. I am not the only one messing around with this misunderstood suffix. Here are some examples of what to say with tastic.
Mailtastic - There is a lot of awesome mail. It can be noted that I said this yesterday to myself.
Breadtastic - This bread is amazing.
In a sentence? The awesometastic amount of tacotastic om noms in the mexitastic restaurant is great.
So what does tastic really mean now? Well I define it as the suffix that is used to let people know that the object or thing in question is awesome. When used as I did in awesometastic it can be used to emphasize the amount of awesome.
The problem? Fantastic, the only word I know that the suffix is actually used in, now has a different meaning.
Fantastic (Old) - Very good, amazing, awesome; Those beans were fantastic!!!
Fantastic (New) - Amazing fans; Those fans really move the air up in this hizzy!!!
Yay for English.
