bebiggle
bebiggle derives its meaning in opposition and by comparison with belittle, to make some bigger than it really is, to overstate the importance of something, to make claims that overreach.
To bebiggle something (or someone), in my opinion, is as bad as belittling. Making something bigger, more important, more significant, than it actually is does little more than diminish it, robbing it of its real power.

Bebigging, in my opinion,is a grandiose form of belittling.

mindsight
the ability, imagined or otherwise, to see inside your mind. the act of reflection on the organ of reflection. To see inside one self, inside one's thinking, to observe one's thinking.
In forty-five-year-later-hindsight/mindsight I think now of the movement that was and is my thinking, those flashing electric synaping synapses that fired and flew and swarmed in my six-year-old brain as I hunched in silence, the world of one square foot of front yard revealing itself to me.

mushrump
A mushroom shaped pillar of winter snow capped by a clod of dirt, a dead animal, or a piece of trash, left standing while snow around it melts away. The pillar gradually hollows but the top is the last to melt since it is protected by the detritus. They last but a short time and are a sure sign of Spring in Vermont.
In common usage in our region.

We took a Sunday drive today on the backroads and saw many well formed mushrumps, including one capped by a skunk, priceless.
