Like its predecessor, the Simpsons, Futurama's writers and voice actors are constantly inventing new words.

Overview

The words said on Futurama don't always exist in a standard dictionary. Several words have been invented by the writers and ad-libbed by the actors, creating new words and terminology for us:


A

Aks
inquire, question; derived from the old english "ask." Ironically, this is actually a step backwards, as "axe" was the original pronunciation.

B

B'uh
Another way to express d'uh.
Coined by: Amy Wong (Love's Labours Lost in Space)

C

Crack Slam
An action wherein a person drops his/her pants, grasps a telephone receiver between his/her buttocks, and hangs up. According to the Professor, this is the rudest way possible to hang up, and was performed by Hermes. (The Beast with a Billion Backs
Film
)


E

Elbow Talons
Leela's other mutation. Skin-covered spikes that grow down from her elbows. These can be and usually are trimmed.


F

Fl'uh
Another way to express d'uh.

A term for Amphibiosan marriage partner. According to Kif, the term's literal translation to English is "one who does not sleep with my superior officer".
Fonfon rubok
The ceremony where the fonfon rus are joined together. Similar to a wedding.
Footswear
To keep a promise by standing on one foot.
Frontbutt
How Hermes refers to his posterior after his head is replaced backwards. The creators expressed in the commentary that they expect the phrase "Kiss my frontbutt" to catch on.
