M was recalling some incident from school and she goes...
“Mom it was so funny. I was hilarified”
“Mom it was so funny. I was hilarified”
Me: hang on what happened to you?
M: I was hilarified!
Me: That is a great spin to the word hilarious Manya but it’s not really a word you know.
M: it should be.
Me: you mean you found it very funny... you were so amused...
M: no, I exactly mean that - I was hilarified. There’s no other word that describes what I mean.
Me: well nobody uses that word - it isn’t even in the dictionary.
M: too bad. I use it. It should be added to the dictionary.
Me: 🤷🏻♀️
(PS: I googled the word and actually found that even though it is not obviously in the traditional dictionary, it does find a place in the “urban dictionary”. I am absolutely ridiculified!!!)
