Question What "made up" words exist in your vocabulary?

In praise of valkyrie for sharing Valkyrie-Dad's word of lowerate, I wanted to ask you:

"What made up words exist in your vocabulary?"

One that I have is "notrocious" (a hybrid of notorious and atrocious), as in: "Be careful when you drive on the roads in winter. They can be really notrocious."

My sister's Mother in Law told me that one.

Scoach--def. a little bit

Example: "Will you move over just a scoach so I can sit down?"

I've been pronouncing that word "scoosh!" I'm saying it wrong!

tump: a combination of toss and dump

She wasn't careful opening the oreos, and tumped five of them on the floor.

Then there's that word that every native Louisianian knows:

t-nincy: small or petite

Did you see how t-nincy she is? She lost a ton of weight!

HUMOGONOUS. Pronounced Hu-mog-on-ous. It means really huge breasts that are so big the girl needs to wear two bras. If a guy sees a girl with a huge rack, he is thinking, "wow, those things are humogonous".

Craptastic.

definition: something that is overly crappy.

To use in a sentence, you would say, "Wow. I had a craptastic day!"
