Suffixes that I like to append to random words.

Example:

"I'm engaging in a wee bit of philosophical thinkery."

The "-ery" suffix can be appended to many verbs, that is, if you enjoy injecting a little weirdity into your speakery.

    my fave is "-acular" or occasionally "-tacular" depending the word root.

    Especially is if it's a negative sentiment…

    People who are really crazy? Cracktacular.
