TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I agree, knowsome is a little forced.  Apatastic sounds much better, but personally, I add 'tastic to so many things it doesn't seem like a real new word.  I'll keep thinking about it.

Aren't these more just portmanteaus, rather than wholly new words?

From my time spent with the etymological dictionary, so are a whole fuckton of other words, so, so?

So, I've got my "elitist intellectual fucktard" hat on, and I wanted to kindoub a word I learned for my SATs, so all you barrilyons can see how frellgious I am.

Discordia has turned into an Anne McCaffrey novel.

Sorry about that.

I coined the word 'pomal'... It's sort of like the ineffable.

I am not fond of forced invented words. Too many of that kind of thing in a novel makes me grit my teeth. However, new words are part of the evolution of language.
