With some reference to the 'worst new words' thread: May I axe you a question?

Do you know an adjective like "wapsy" in english (derived from a noun like "waps" (singular))? Can you imagine the meaning?

BTW - the german original is also an 'extension' of the language but I don't object to things like these. They're funny and I love them when - like in this special case - they really have some meaning you can't find anywhere else in the language in question (or even in any language you know).
