A friend sent me latest Washington Post neologisms which prompted me to have search for others. These are some I like;

Willy-nilly (adj.), impotent

Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.

Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.

Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.

Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified demeanor assumed by a proctologist immediately before he examines you.

Pokemon (n), A Jamaican proctologist.

Bustard (n.), a rude bus driver.

Pimple: n., pimp's apprentice.

Discussion: n., a Frisbee-related head injury.

Cabbage Patch: A patch for those trying to stop eating cabbage.

Bustard (n.), a rude bus driver.

The Washington Post invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Not precisely neologisms, but witty nonetheless.

Soem of the winners below:

Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an arsehole.

Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until
you realize it was your money to start with.

Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease.

Glibido : All talk and no action.

Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Caterpallor (n.): The colour you turn after finding half a worm in
the fruit you're eating.
