Unridiculous

[Jessica]

“[Unridiculous]” is a portmanteau of “unbelievable” and “ridiculous” coined by [Clint] D. during a frustrating phone conversation with a Chinese restaurant over an incorrect order. It refers to a combination of frustration, severe disbelief, and confusion. (The term may have originated from UN-believable, a common saying of a coworker with a long emphasis on the first [syllable] and with similar meaning.) Mimicking this confusion started as a joke, but the term has come into serious usage among his ~100 coworkers and possibly beyond.
