Yes, I think it's a word, but English is very unfair and complicated, so I wouldn't be too positive.

anonymous · Answer

You're right, I typed it up in word and it didn't show up as a wrong word so I guess...

anonymous · Answer

It's not a word, sorry.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

And also, if you put a dash between words, you can practically make anything a word.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

But not really.

anonymous · Answer

Try saying "he/she had a crude sense of humor" just to be sure. Sometimes teachers will count off for coinage of new words...

anonymous · Answer

okay I'll try that, it has to do with describing Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet

kyanthedoodle · Answer

It's pretty weird. Like how people are now using "literally" for something that's not actually literal.

When I heard Jake was planning to break up with me, I literally died!

anonymous · Answer

Yeah. The English language is constantly evolving, for better or for worse. I think that with words like "literally," their meanings should stay the same because they don't really have synonyms. I'm not against coining words, as long as there are no existing synonyms. Like "generification." It's not a word, but there isn't any other word that means that.

True, English is pretty weird

kyanthedoodle · Answer

@gibbs Not always...

gibbs · Answer

how?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

You're talking about crude oil. Crude is an adjective I believe, not always a noun.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Lol.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I was meaning to use it as an adjective to indicate a "weird" sense of humor

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Well, I guess you could used "crude-humor" as two words, and it'll work.

anonymous · Answer

The definition they're talking about is: "(of language, behavior, or a person) offensively coarse or rude, especially in relation to sexual matters." @gibbs

anonymous · Answer

Yeah but delete the hyphen.

anonymous · Answer

I just changed it to "crude sense of humor" thanks guys :)

anonymous · Answer

kyanthedoodle · Answer

anonymous · Answer
