I propose a new term for the state of being unable to do something desirable because you are busy && simultaneously lack the energy to get rid of said business so you can do the thing you desire and instead paralyze.

"blazy"

I've coined a new word:

vexit (noun or verb)
to leave out of annoyance

(vex + exit portmanteau)

I was just thinking this exact thing yesterday:

"If one of the major dictionaries doesn’t choose “enshittification” as its word of the year, we’ll be surprised, because this concept is everywhere.
Masterfully coined by author Cory Doctorow, it’s exactly what it sounds like: when a digital platform slowly turns to shit."

Zoom's transcribe feature also went out of its way to make up the new word "neilogism" instead of just, you know, the real existing word "neologism." I guess it's to do with words created by a guy named Neil?

Hello,

Do I know someone who is knowledgable in linguistics (or just passionate, tbh) and an expert in English?
I need some help with some rather creative activities that involve neo- proto- and other logisms.

Normally, I would happily neologize solo, but I think I need some help arguing with some stubborn lemmas.

That feeling when you think you've coined a great new term ...

Voluminati [vuh-LOOM-ih-NAH-tee]: the not-so-secret society of people who delve deeply into words and books

... And then you type it into Google, which returns 956 results.

I just got a spam email, offering me a service for my business (which doesn't exist)

The sender described their job, in the email signature, as follows

"Business Growth Hacking Expert"

Being a curmudgeonly sort of old guy, such a description is, to me, a turn off

... “dreck,” “bugger off,” “fuck” (as in “fuck it”), “mustard” (the color), “pornosophical” (defined as “of or relating to the philosophy of the brothel”), “schlep,” “smackwarm” (as in “She let free sudden in rebound her nipped elastic garter smackwarm against her smackable woman’s warmhosed thigh”), and “yogibogeybox.”

A slightly silly thing...

while writing "careful" I almost wrote instead.

So now I have this new word-shaped set of letters. What does "dareful" mean? What is the nuance than distinguishes it from courageous, brave, fool-hardy, thrill-seeking risk-taking...?

Detorturer (n.) - a person who inflicts a lot of pleasure, to ensure that someone who is living with a lot of chronic daily pain, can finally feel relieved from it, if only for a little while :blobcatfishnom:

Or that might be simply the best variation of a pleasure dom, or at least my favorite. Totally love that about my Lover :ablobcatheart: :blobcatgratpat:
