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:


A

Axe
inquire, question; derived from the old english "ask." Ironically, this is actually a step backwards, as "axe" was the original pronunciation. Alternate spelling: Ax

M

Meatbag
A term referring to Humans (or organic creatures in general), may be a racial slur.
Coined by: Bender (1ACV01)
Murderology
The study of murder.
Coined By: Zoidberg (2ACV16)


Murderonomy
A collection of the established laws or knowledge pertaining to murder.
Coined By: Zoidberg (2ACV16)


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 (2ACV06)

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 Last Curtain home. (3ACV08)
