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. :)
