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 these words for us:


I

Intragnizent
Probably meant to say intractable, but may also have meant unresponsive.
Coined by: Joey Mousepad (3ACV06)

R

Rage Dump
An expression meaning that someone needs to either vent their frustrations or possibly relax. "Take a rage dump" may be analogous to "chill out".
Coined by: Hermes Conrad (Unknown)

S

Science-Fictiony
Of or relating to science-fiction.
Coined by: David X. Cohen, when explaining why he chose an "X" as his new middle initial.
Scribble-Di-Gook
A contemptuous word for chickenscratch or written gibberish.
Coined by: An unnamed old woman in the Lat Curtain home. (3ACV08)
