Neither of which I've seen, shamefully enough, even though I remember taping Stardust Memories off The Movie Channel or Showtime back in 1987 or so.

A few more, courtesy of various family and friends:
Trampede, noun, can also be used as a verb. The surge of adoring female fans when a pop star appears on the street.
Recalculus, adjective. Absurd beyond belief. Originally coined to describe the results when I do math in my head. Or on paper. Or with a calculator...
Son-of-a-bituary, noun. The death notice of someone who really deserved to die.
Cei-U!
Needs to coin a word for "lightning summoner"!

Don't know whether this is more a pun than a neologism, but when the dog is constantly sniffing every branch and leaf to see which dog has recently marked each of them, I say that he's checking his pee-mail.

Using "rationalization" in a FB post a few minutes ago reminded me of another one I've been using for years (not sure if it's original with me or not ... probably the latter, of course) -- irrationale, which of course also covers irrationalize, irrationalization, etc.
Should be self-explanatory: Justifying an obviously suspect opinion, action, etc. to oneself on the basis of equally, if not more, suspect reasoning.

It sounds like a fun noun to sneak into discussion..."What's the irrationale behind your theory that dinosaurs were from Saturn?" |
