Contractions and Relaxed Pronunciation

    The English language abounds with contractions.  Additionally, many new contractions and relaxed pronunciations, also known as condensed pronunciations, have come into use.  Many are simple and merely the product of common speech, such as "Would chu like to go to the movies?" or "Whaddya say?".  Others are results of popular culture, such as "wassup" and "y'know".  Some, however, are obscure, little-used oddities of hasty speech.  Take this one for example: "squeat" - it stands for "let's go eat", so in a way, it is a contraction of a contraction. Its derivation is also unusual as there is no q or u in the original phrase and over half of the original letters have been deleted.  This page is designed to be a reference database, from the mundane to the esoteric, of each and every contraction and relaxed pronunciation.  Pleasoy.

P.o.s. - Part of speech
As these contractions can, and often are, multiple words spliced together, it is necessary to categorize parts of speech slightly differently.  Here are the original and new p.o.s.
Original
n. - noun
pn. - pronoun
v. - verb
adj. - adjectives
adv. - adverbs
prep. - prepositions
conj. - conjunctions
int. - interjections
New
s. - (a) Short:
    This type is a shortened version of a word.  It is always just one word.  Its part of speech is the same as the original word.
i.s. - Independent Sentence:
    This type can stand alone, and usually does.  It is an entire sentence compressed into one word.  It can also have a word (usually a noun) added on the end like: "Pleasoy the show"
q. - Quizzitive:
    This type is a question word and a subject and/or verb all wrapped up in one.  For example: What do you think? >>> Whaddya think?
c.p.p. - Compressed Prepositional Phrase:
    This is a prepositional phrase compressed into one word. (can also have other incidental words added on)
c.p. - Combination Preposition:
    This is multiple prepositions compressed into one word. (can also have other incidental words added on)

    This is a few words combined into one word that acts as an adjective, but isn't a prepositional phrase.
