A friend sent me latest Washington Post neologisms which prompted me to have search for others. These are some I like;
Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
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.
