Know your "fumb" from your "freegan"? Chances are you don't. Why? Well, they're "nonwords" -- words that don't actually exist, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (although they were suggested for inclusion in the authoritative English word book).

Until they're actually used on a regular basis by enough people, they'll remain on the outside. But, that doesn't stop them from being used by your fair self if you see fit. "Fumb," for example, is a word for the big toe, and a "freegan" is a eco-warrior-type who disdains consumerism.

The list of nonwords (which you can see below for more amazing examples of inventiveness in the field of English) was discovered by graphic designer Luke Ngakane, 22, as he trawled through the dictionary's archives for a project while at Kingston University London.

He picked out 39 of the words that he felt meant the most to him -- his personal favorite is "furgling," the act of rooting around in your pocket for change or your keys -- and decided to spread, well, the word in the hope that they'd become "real words" one day.

We hope so, too, if only because the word "nonversation" (a pointless conversation) is damn brilliant. Keep reading for Ngakane's list.
