Well, have you?

I just came up with 'erogenius' and I'm rather proud of myself.

Are you making fun of me?
I didn't invent horrormirth, but I did prompt its invention.
Grand Quatepec: a fake military dictatorship position probably best described as Admiralissimo
doobish: stupid, moronic
wizzle wazzle: something like unintended but necessary directional shift
Not mine but
Helpy: (adj) hindering progress while earnestly attempting to help. "Little Timmy was being helpy with the blocks and it took twice as long to clean up."
That's a good one.
Couple more:
Preposterone - contributes to a person's level of preposterousness.
Farty Butt - not really a made up word, but my favorite way to describe persistent flatulence. "I can't come in to work today, I have a severe case of farty butt"
Lloydering - (named after my boss) extending a meeting past all relevance and usefulness to those in attendance. Once you realize a meeting has turned into Lloydering, a fun challenge is to see just how long you can keep it going.
Neverything - not sure exactly what this means, but I like the word and there's an idea in there somewhere.

Neverything: the thing that is wrong when nothing in particular is actually wrong, but the whole world feels bad and you'd like to hit it with a hammer.
Oh! While we're at this, can we correct a mistake Cracked made? They did an article of made up words and one of them was "unboring," which is a stupid fucking word and I think we can do better. Here's the definition, which I think is awesome:
(adj) Something that used to be dull until you started researching it, and suddenly is the most interesting thing in the world. "I was up all night on wikipedia and now sloths are __________."
A co-invention between Mangrove and myself was, of course, "scrid".

Yeah, this one is pretty much the best one. It literally has that personal touch.

How 'bout "knowsome" - now that I 'know' it's 'awesome'

Better than "unboring" but I don't know if it's quite there yet? Apatastic, maybe? (apata = deceptive + fantastic)
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.
KILL ME.
Whoops. Looks like I broke the thread.
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.
