Words that aren't really words...
I just heard a broadcaster say, "...if the Eagles loose, well that's a WHOLE 'NOTHER STORY."
I don't think "nother" is a real word, but I could be wrong. Here are others that I've noticed: "Supposably" - a combination of "supposedly" and "probably"? How about "Prolly" - a lazy man's way of saying "probably".
Do you have some examples?

I have two of them...a trainer in work used to drive me crazy as he was presenting his work, by using the phrase..."cetra,cetra"...ugh!
One more...I heard an african american girl say, in a conversation to her friend..."yammsay, yammsay, yammsay"...which is ebonics for "do you know what I'm saying?"
I worked for a guy who would constantly litter his talk with "pacifics"
"We need to pacifically target the pacific solutions to each pacific problem"
He also would recognize folks' accomplishments with "Cujos to so and so on a good job" On conference calls someone would always start barking.
And of course, IRregardless, which is redundant. The word is simply Regardless!! Look it up.
yeah a certain race invented a whole new way of saying "ask". its now pronounced "axe". Let me axe you sumthin. I guess it is a word but.. well... i dont know
