When the Pope abdicates the the Chair (cathedra) of Peter before his natural death, the Emeritus Pope is said to be on permanent Vatication.
Vatication is like the ultimate staycation, since it is a vacation in the Vatican taken on a permanent basis by Emeritus Pope.

Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI starts his permanent Vatication on February 28, 2013, the day he abdicates the pontifical throne, doffs his signature red Prada loafers, and his papal ring is destroyed.

The celebration of the late harvest in October.
NB: The word is an etymological hybrid of "October" and "harvest" with an ear to the celebratory spirit of "Octoberfest" (Oktoberfest).

It is unbelievable that this late in the year we are still enjoying garden tomatoes and cucumbers in a hearty Octobarvest.

A quipportunity is the fleeting moment when a clever response is both timely, and funny.
Etymology: The word is an amalgam of 'quip' and 'opportunity' capitalizing on 1) the shared 'p' and 2) the fact that the 'portunity' portion of the word opportunity carries all of the meaning even without the displaced prefix.

I recently had a missed quipportunity when I told my sister that we saw the 2012 "Spider-Man" movie, and she asked how it was. I said it was "awesome," but the missed quipportunity was to reply, "Amazing" (since the name of the movie is "The Amazing Spider-Man").

n. AssFault is a more elegant and more sophisticated term to replace the relatively more vulgar ButtCrack or its synonym, AssCrack.
etymology: AssFault is a conjoining of two terms: "Ass," which refers to the posterior of a person, and "Fault" which is a geological term indicating a break or a crack.

After the long bike ride over the asphalt my AssFault was very sore... I think I need a new seat.
Dude 1: Dude-- pull up your pants. I can see your butt is broken!
Dude2: What?
Dude1: I can see your AssFault!

When summer temperatures in Minnesota exceed the upper 90s (°F) we are justified in renaming the state MinnesHota.
The thermometer in my car reads 106°F right in the heart of MinnesHota today.
Global warming is turning my state from Minnesota to MinnesHota.

When elected office is up for bid, up for being bought by the highest bidder, an elauction is under way.
Elauction indicates the primary role of money (and the principal bearers of money known as billionaires) in supposedly democratic elections.
The term, elauction, represents how the oligarchy, known these days as billionaires (or Billionaire Overlords) is able to buy elections.

When $100 million is spent to prop up a Governor who has been subjected to a recall, while a paltry $4 million is spent by the challenger, we are certainly witnessing an elauction.
When each candidate is a mere face, a mere facade for billionaire backers, an elauction is under way.
Who will win the elauction? The highest bidder, or the highest so-called 'contributor' will of course buy the elauction.

SHOPPER: "Thanks, and Happy Holidays to you, too. Do you accept American Express?"
