Denial looks and sounds like English but the words have different meaning so I think it needs a separate dictionary. Here's one to get us started.

Overweight: People who are fatter than me.

What other words and definitions should go in the dictionary?

Yahey: A hick, red neck from a small town. They are not hard core dixie rednecks. Traditionally YaHeys are from the Midwest but have been sighted in other locations. They can be seen wearing outdated clothing and driving trucks with moronic modifications. Moronic acting individuals, self serving. Usually in the form of far leaning left liberal when identified in the political context, although this definiton flies in rebuttal of the "redneck being a conservative" belief. "Yahey's" are typically laughed at behind their back and find few friends because of their need of self.
ie: "Some freakin yahey squealed his tires around the corner and threw his beer bottle at my dog."
