Thanks to Lali and Freddy, October has been designated as "Make Up A Word And Its Meaning" Month.

Here are a few examples to get us started:

sargeanting (noun) : the act of accompanying a lower ranking police officer on patrol

lieutenanting (noun) : /see above/

withitness (noun) : attentiveness by the instructor to the pupils' behavior and participation in the classroom

bouffantoid (noun; adjective) : a person with overly styled, sprayed, and teased hair, commonly seen after an individual leaves the hair salon. I was such a bouffantoid today that all I needed was a fringed outfit and a microphone and I could have performed in Nashville.

blackberria (noun) : a syndrome seen in persons who cannot go anyplace without their handheld blackberry

appdiction (noun) : more severe than blackberria, an addictive disease characterized by users of mobile devices with a plethora of applications available whereby the user cannot function normally in daily life without them

edit for clarity and typos

Hmmm, this first one is actually in the urban dictionary!

Sarchasm: the gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the one who doesn't get it.

Accidence: the bits of broken metal, glass, plastic, and assorted fluids left at the site of a fender bender.

Alas, I'm supposed to be writing a personal reflection on one of my INTASC (teacher) Principles, but I am torn between wanting to be outside in the lovely weather and wanting to make up words. I am experiencing great tornintwoness. :(

You can use this thread for intascspiration - if the teacher askicates what any of the verbifications mean, just fix her with a disgustemptuous stare, and say "You mean you don't know?"

A real word but not used any more: ugsome. Like handsome, only the opposite. I'd like to bring it back into fashion.

Advocawordia, in other words.

enefeltraumacidal - the urge to strangle players on one's favorite NFL team when they blow their lead due to boneheaded plays and lose in overtime :x :bang:

One of my aunts always said "flustrated" but she thought that was the word. :)

So would flushtrated be what occurs when the toilet clogs and gets to the point where it might overflow and the plunger is not at hand and nobody else is around?

My friends family made this one up: confrickton - means everything is out of sorts

dickshoe (n) - an unsavory term to call your brother or sister (please don't use this one on your parents they don't like it, I know from personal experience)

(the actual origin is that Dick Shoe was a contestant on Match Game and my brother and I turned it into a curse word)

Example: Hey dickshoe you drank the last of the coffee make a new pot!

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

I think this month needs a few dips into the Uxbridge English Dictionary

Handicap: a really useful hat

History: a husband's alibi

Kaleidoscope: a traffic camera

Papist: drunken father

From work:
rail: to be outside the limits of your device. Too much signal and you rail high. Too little signal and you rail low. This is usually because the instrument is having issues, but sometimes, if you're lucky, it's because you're having issues. You can also rail a translation stage or mirror mount by moving it too far.
