Made-up words

[THIS POST HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY EDITED BY MR. JASON CENSORSHIP LAU]

Now, before thou doth protest, please know that I’m all about made-up words. Gi-normous is a personal favorite, as is amaze-balls. In market research, we’ll say “a movie is streeting on this date” as a substitute for “a movie will be released on DVD/Blu-ray/Digital download/one million other ways of watch movies on this date” because the former is so much shorter than the latter.

However, there are two main problems with made-up words – they are not “spelled correctly” nor are they “commonly defined.” Because the made-up word is not real, it is not found in the dictionary, leaving lots of little red squiggly lines in my Word documents. And, you often have to explain what you mean by your made-up word until it becomes part of the common vernacular.
