What word should I make up to decribe this condition from which I appear to be suffering?

Question

I have this irresistible urge to make up words. Other people refer to stuff like this as talking cr4p, but I prefer to see it as more poetic.

Maybe there already is a word for it, so you can save me the bother if you know.

OK> I'm not suggesting to have made up the word "decribe" meaning "to describe something using less ssss's than usual". That was just a spelling mistake.

Answer 1

Answer 2

How about a neologist? neologist (nee-OL-uh-gist) noun: One who coins, uses, or introduces new words, or redefines old words in a language.


A neologism is a word, term, or phrase which has been recently created ("coined") — often to apply to new concepts, or to reshape older terms in newer language form. Neologisms are especially useful in identifying inventions, new phenomena, or old ideas which have taken on a new cultural context.

Neologisms are by definition "new", and as such are often directly attributable to a specific individual, publication, period or event. The term "neologism" was itself coined around 1800; so for some time in the early 19th Century, the word "neologism" was itself a neologism.
