2. Just "dumbhole."
It is a special word, reserved for special occasions.

3. Mediacracy is mine.
Made it up in 1976 and been watching it come true since 1981.

4. Yes, I've neologized on occasion
I love that the English language is so plastic :)

I wish I'd invented "f*cknozzle". I use it all the time.

7. I do it all the time
Usually inadvertantly. My hubby is a master at it. He can speak fluent gibberish with the best of them.

8. When somebody sneezes...

11. Yes, 'kerflapple'.
As in: I can't answer intelligently right now, I'm all kerflappled.

13. "Constarrhea" and "Insomnolepsy"
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 07:33 PM by nytemare
You know, when you eat something bad and get really painful gassy cramps like diarrhea, but you can't go.

That stuff.

And Insomnolepsy is when you can't get to sleep for a long time, then when you finally do, you don't want to wake your ass up.
