My wife has an English degree and I constantly throw out words that she swears I'm making up. Mungy is one for instance.
I have an English degree and I always tell my wife that it is my license to make up words.
My husband has an English degree as well and he always reminds me that all words are made up.

Make sure you offer her your most enthusiastic contrafibularities.
Hey I literally just learned that one yesterday! (I think that was the one lol)
That's specific to one place in the UK if the video I saw is to be believed. It means being in a bad mood, or angry right?
I used it in the context of weather, but it can mean different things.
I might be thinking of a different word, which I suppose means I didn't actually learn anything from that video lol
Are you thinking of mardy as in Mardy Bum
That's it! There was a video I stumbled on yesterday about "odd american pronunciations" and they mentioned mardy as a unique word for them in the UK lol
