happies: something that you buy or was gifted that makes you happy. It's not always something big, it's usually something small. " I got a box of happies in the mail today! I wasn't expecting them!"
lurve: I tend to say lurve instead of love when I really really really like something.
Edited to add dupe. How could I forget dupe????
These are the ones that I've come across the most - is there any other common ones that I've missed?
