I want to use these words on my project instead of introduction and conclusion, but am not sure if these words go in place of the other ones correctly...
Does anyone know if I can use them, or what they mean?

These are not real words so I would advise against using them for any project where you might be graded (or judged).

The only context I can imagine where they might be acceptable is if you were required to invent words that might be comprehensible to others even though they are your own concoctions.

What's wrong with introduction and conclusion anyway? If you don't like those words, use Beginning and Ending! However, it will sound like a 1st grade project!

you shouldn't use them, they would be considered akward in place of intro and conclusion. I understand ur desire to use different words, but introduction and conclusion are widely accepted and used by writers at all levels, you dont need to bust out the thesaurus for these

Both words appear to be informal versions to depict entry and exit passages.

These words reminded me of the words we used for informal music annotations: "Intro" and "Outro", to signify the beginning of the instrumental music before the vocals come in and the trailing music after the song is over.

The advantage of such words is that they are very "catchy" and "hip" and "easily understood".

Since language is a living thing, some words may get adopted with mass usage. However, before they do, it would be wise to use them in quotes if you are doing formal writing.

Enterlude = intermission It's a pause in the middle

exit = end
lude = pause

exitlude = finished a pause at the end
