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. Alternate spelling: Ax

F

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.
