About the Tenyo Dictionary

Post by JohnM » Sat Jul 27, 2013 4:54 am

Dictionary editors monitor the changing language and add new terms to the dictionary once those words come into widespread use. New words are added all the time. Certain Tenyo related words/phrases have been coined by our members and I think it is a good idea to keep track of them in a Tenyo Dictionary. The words/phrases have to be used regularly to be entered into the dictionary.

To begin, there are two Tenyo words/phrases that are commonly used by Tenyo enthusiast and worthy of being the initial entries into the Tenyo dictionary.
Tenyoitis
Tenyo Karma


There are also word/phrases that could be added soon but they need to used more frequently.
Tenyo OCD

Also there are word/phrases that need to be defined for certain situations.
What should an expert in Tenyo be called?
What should a Tenyo collector/enthusiast be called?
What should a new Tenyo collector/enthusiast be called?
What should a significant other of a Tenyo collector/enthusiast be called?

Here is your chance to suggest some words and if they become commonly used here it will wind up in the Tenyo Dictionary.

I have something very similar to OCD, called CDO. it's pretty much the same thing but the letters are in alphabetical order AS THEY F#####G SHOULD BE.

a few thoughts...

Thimble: someone who has just bought their first tenyo (after T-1)
Teneo: someone new to tenyo (also known as a tenyoob)
Ten-sei: someone who has achieved tenyo zen by completing a set of T-numbers
Tenya: significant other of a tenyologist
Now you see me...
