Great words you've invented, or crap ones you wish you hadn't

    My claim to infamy is the invention of the word "Islamist" in a communicae to the BBC. Now it gets used for anything Islamic and dodgy. It doesn't actually mean anything, but it got hijacked by the BBC and now I hear it all over the place. I truly wish I'd never invented it.
    Does anyone else in Sciworld have a similar story, or maybe a really cool word that has been adopted - or should be?

    Wow! Excellent! Very funny too! I would say it's a bit hard for someone to get thier tongue around, but then, maybe not!

    I invented 'sadgry'(c) but noone's heard of it because it only exists in an unpublished novel I wrote. It's just 2 words stuck together, sad and angry, and it's for those moments where you feel both emotions for the same reason. I also invented 'trepinition',(c) again 2 words stuck together, trepidation and premonition, it's like when you feel that something really bad is going to happen because of a certain action.

    Both these words are now copyright, published here for the first time, no unauthorised use of these words is allowed.
