Won't See These In The Dictionary. What Words Have You Made Up?

Aftersnap - a stubborn dog I had years ago that didn’t like being trained. She would do the task, get the treat, then snap her jaws with a little snarl at me. Just letting me know she didn’t like following commands. I also use this to describe someone who MUST have the last word at all times.
 
When my oldest grandson was about 3 years old, we took him to Red Lobster. When asked what vegetable he wanted with his dinner, he said
Barcoli (broccoli)
I had a cousin who couldn't quite get her words out right, which probably proved her state of mind. She said she couldn't
Concenoughatrate rather than concentrate enough. 😅

Effet. I'd use that word instead of the vulgar F word when interviews and reinterviews with some syphilis patients did not produce traceable contacts. We even started an Effet file. :LOL:

I thought it was "bright" and "clean."
My husband and son do this constantly, blend words together. Constantly. Any two words that strike them as blendable and they're on it.
It's gotten to where I can feel it coming. "We need pickles and cream. Sounds like an ice cream flavor.... piccream!"
And me: "Guys, I'm begging you." :rolleyes: 🙃
 
Moles
Used in our house, for literally decades, in place of the word, "controls," for television controls.
Comes from eldest daughter, changing controls to "country moles" which was eventually shortened to "moles" and stayed there. I'm so accustomed to it I've been in other places and asked where the moles are.

Nonsequiturial
I made that one up on the fly while writing an email to my English Professor. He liked it and told me of a word he'd created. :)
