If you can say it, pronounce it, define it, and write it, then it is a word. Even though it may not be an English and/or established word, it can be in your own lexicon.

The word is Scrump-dilly-ishhus
and it was first used in 1973 when Dennis the Menace was endorsing Dairy Queen products.
Remember the slogan.. Say the word "Scrumpdillyishhus!" and get a "Peanut Buster" Parfait for 49 cents.
After Hank Ketchum died in 2002, they took Dennis the Menace from the kids menu. they felt he no longer was a persona that the children could relate to. It hasn't quite made it into our lexicon, but both words are frequently used. It isn't Wikipedia material, but it is close. I can put either word into the search engine and come up with a number of hits.

No, not according to the dictionaries. However, any group of sounds used that has meaning is technically a word, as long as others understand the meaning.

Well it's not in the dictionary, but if everyone uses it, it would become a real word eventually. (like in the book "frindle"!)

Roald Dahl used a lot of wierd words in his book, "The BFG". That is one of them. No, it is not a real word.

It's a real word only in Willy Wonka's world, not in ours. :-)

If you can say it, and other people understand what you are talking about. Then it can be classified as a word.
