This list was harder to think up than I anticipated, and not because the non-words are used so scarcely that I'd almost forgotten about them. Anna, a friend who can vouch for me that these non-words should be words, put it nicely when she said,
"The problem is we use them so normal-like, that they aren't stored in our heads as weirdly words."Just so; I hope they become stored in your heads as nothing less than funtastic.

Used to acknowledge taking a 'hit' (as in the word touché), only that
the hit was also true. A combination

probably because you left the oven on."
