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)

My very first opportunity to be the emcee at performance, resulted in a new word . We had a problem back stage, and because of this problem, the program was going to be delayed. I was told to make the announcement that there would be a delay. I went out on stage to the microphone and announced that " Due to techniculties beyond our control, there would be a 5 minute delay." I combined "technical" and "difficulties" and got the message across. Quite by accident.

Not myself but The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's winners.

Read them carefully. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word. Some are terrifically innovative:

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people, that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

4. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

5. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

6. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

7. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

8. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

9. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

10. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

11. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

12. Glibido: All talk and no action.

13. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

14. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

15. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

16. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

Thought up one myself - Catmosphere - the sunny spot on the floor where the cat lies all the time.
