A favorite peev & love of mine, the neologism. I do so miss Matt Groening's year end collection of 'words that have to die' published in his comic, "Life in Hell" . As the epic hero thread his way between Scylla and Charybdis, so must we, modern semantic odysseonauts navigate between the whirlpool of masturbatory obscurantism and the rocks of semiotic collision and negation. Bring the new linguistic stoichiometry! But as a collector of slang and a deep jargon plumber, I have become known in certain depraved circles as a florid progenitor of protologisms, a font of turgid mongrel babblelalia. Behold! : "schnozznosticator"-the woman at the end of the bar with the big nose who would know the future of a certain nose fetishist I know; "janktify" - to rig or improvise with the crudest of available material and technique ("good enough/apocalyptic engineering"); "malatropism" - a protologic term that would emphasize the most repressed aspect of subject (ex. "tender-monkey-hole"); "jumboshrimpcyberfriend" speaks for itself; and i dare to claim "baconomicon" - the dark and holy forbidden book of public secrets, the sacred text of our Lord, Bacon. Huzzah!
