Between my recent "revelation" that tomatoes are actually fruits and my "invention" of the term "goofle," I am receiving far too many late passes recently, and I may very well be suspended.

neolojism

1. unexpected and/or uncontrollable ejaculation upon the learning of a particularly apt new word or phrase

2. the ejaculate produced in such a situation

Neolojism was a serious problem among Frankfurt school theorists, and it is rumored that Foucault never procreated not because of his sexual orientation, but instead, because he wasted all of his seed in this manner.

Elliott, was just a freshman when he wrote the working paper on ramen noodles in which he coined, among other neologisms, "ramen hangover." Upon reading the paper, Professor Stevens felt a mysterious cool sensation in his pants, and sending a spelunking hand into his pants to explore, found a copious amount of ejaculate. Elliott gasped, and with a surprised tone, asked, "Professor Stevens, is this your first experience with neolojism?"

ramen hangover

headache, dry mouth and other hangover-like symptoms which may occur as a result of the consumption of ramen noodles before bed

(Ramen hangover, caused by intake of too much MSG and/or sodium, may be prevented by drinking copious amounts of water as a supplement to pre-bedtime ramen.)

Randy complained to his roommate Kyung that although he had not had even one beer last night, his mouth was dry and his head hurt as if he had a hangover. Kyung just laughed and said, "Randy, is it really all such a blur? Last night before bed, you ate six packs of my Shin Ramyun Seafood flavor while watching Yu-Gi-Oh! cartoons. You, my friend, are suffering from ramen hangover."
