Words I Made Up
I love playing with the English language. Here are some words I made up for various things I've written:
- abusual: dangerously atypical
- bootishly: the way people walk indoors in Buffalo, NY in the winter
- misanthropomorphic: to hate animated Disney animals
- posteriority complex: obsessed with the quest for the callipygian ideal
- pyronecrobestiapedophilia: an alternative lifestyle even PETA wouldn't approve
- therapologist: someone who defends psychiatric counseling
I'll post others as I remember them.

I didn't make it up, but I really like "oslexia", which is when you confuse commands from different OSes, such as typing "ls" on Windows or "dir" on Unix.
Callipygian. Such a good word. Way to back up your fine use of words. Necessary comment? No. Terribly fun? Abso-frickin-lutely. :)
