So here's a challenge for Theologigglers everywhere: Let's make up some new words for things that really need words to describe them.
Here are a few definitions we've made up that need words to go with them:
- a verb to describe obnoxious parents cheering maniacally on the sidelines at their childrens' sporting matches (hyperhuzz?)
- a noun for the noises early-risers make that disturb people who are still sleeping (somnturbation?)
- a verb for the sermonic technique of answering questions nobody in the congregation is asking (pedanticize? But that isn't really "new" enough - it's just a morphologism)
- A noun for the sneeze that is on its way, but hasn't arrived quite yet (this one should probably be of Germanic derivation)

--I thought the English equivalent for Torschlusspanik was "Boomer" (just kidding)
--how about a word for the compliments a preacher gets after the sermon that are a substitute for actually acting on what was said--expiaments?
--has anyone come up with a term for the weird chunks of ice and dirt cars accumulate behind their tires and then leave behind where they've been parked (for those still living in climates where that happens!)
