I love it! I actually have heard a few of these.
Here's one I saw the other day. (Not a real word)
SARCHASM
The space between someone with a sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
Love that one K! Now where did you hear a word like that? LOL
Kristin I love that one!
I used to use the word "explatify" all the time (explatify = to put emphasize the point one is trying to make). Unfortunately, I found out later it wasn't a word by the one person willing to expose my ignorance - everyone else just let me use it and must have put it in their Jaimepedia of Lesser Known Words
I have one that only Sci-Fi movie geeks will get, but we use it a lot.
LUCASAFICATION (Luke-ahs-uh-fi-Kay-shun): To take a brilliant movie (i.e. Star Wars) and rework it over and over again until it becomes an unwatchable pile of smoldering garbage.
I like that one, Allen! And I agree with the definition.
Here's one my Dad and I made up: doggledopper. It's a spin-off of "doppleganger", and we use it to describe how our two dogs follow us everywhere.
I think there are a lot of legal words that are just made up. I can't remember any in particular at the moment, but I do remember thinking in my business and tax law classes at uni that there were several words that had been made up to confuse people not in the profession.
