What is it? What does it mean?

My words are:
+chicato (my famous song about merging chicken and tomato into a wonderful snack)
+palooba (which just means you're silly or a dork)
+B_i_t_c_h-hag (not very clever but it just came out one day and I liked the sound of it)

None of these are all that clever but made up words are fun! And these words have stuck with me for a long time. So what is your made up word and how long have you used it (or at least known it. cause let's face it, some of our made up words are so goofy that we're too embarassed to say them to other people that would have no idea what you were talking about)

"Real People, Real Passion, Really Making a Difference"

Its for a tag line under a logo for a brochure so it has to be right - three comma's doesn't seem right. Three full stops might work or should it be a colon after the real passion as the list ends and "really making a difference" is a statement.... aaarrrggghhh Help!!!!!

Which is the correct plural? Do you say "brother in laws" or is it "Brothers in law?" Personally Brothers in law sounds better to say but I'm not sure.
