Word Up

“The DailyCandy Lexicon: Words That Don’t Exist but Should”

The other day your boyfriend flushed a condom, clogging the toilet.

There were just no words.

Until now. Condamn is one of the many useful terms defined in our new book, The DailyCandy Lexicon: Words That Don’t Exist but Should.

You’ve always loved DailyCandy lexicons, so we compiled some of your favorite words (textual frustration, crappuccino) with a bunch of new ones, including post modem (the freak-out you experience when your Internet goes down) and fabric-ation (the involuntary impulse to lie when a salesgirl asks what size you are).

Along with the collection of phrases we picked up in boutiques and backroom brothels, there’s a behind-the-keyboards look at the DailyCandy staff and our shenanigans — like how we ended up in that brothel.

Don’t be surprised if you learn a thing or two.

Like the word whor d’oeuvre.
