Didn't Conan O'Brien invent the word "krunk"?
Edited on Sat Oct-06-07 02:21 PM by Bucky
I remember seeing him try and invent a new cussword several years ago and thinking, "this is cute, but it'll never take off" because the word was too forced-sounding. Krunk. Blah.

Now all my kids at school say 'krunk' to mean, 'awesome' or 'torn-up' or 'bogus', depending on the context.

2. The idiot who garbles my brain's narrative flow
"O'Brien"

And according to Wiki he used the word in 1993, the same year it first appeared in print (lyrics from an Outkast song)
