verbal warming 

noun phrase. A term describing the accelerating increase in the number of words in the world and the resultant accumulation of verbiage that threatens to drown us all. Some lexicolonogists deny that it's happening or attribute it to non-human factors such as rogue computer programs.

.

Leapstand? Ollieollieoxenfree? Yardening? What is up with all these new words? Some days If I don't use my asthma medication I can't breathe when I read my e-mail.

You mean you can't ox-in unless you drughale? That's just verbal warming. You should move your computer to a higher floor and buy some flood sacks.

ox-in

v. Breathe in; inhale. Derived from "oxygen into the lungs" by people who don't like a lot of excess verbiage: people who don't like to go on and on etc. Often used with "drughale" which is to inhale drugs.

When you have asthma you have to ox-in deeply if you are trying to drughale.

drughale 

v. To inhale drugs. Originally used by medical personnel when describing inhalation of therapeutic medicines into the lungs it is now largely used by street drug users to describe consumption of illicit drugs, in large amounts, by any route.

Dude! What up? Did you drughale my whole stash? You are going to get such a stare when your mother gets home.

lexicolonologists

n. People who are experts about terminology in a given area but quite anal about specifics of usage.

I think the etymological lexicolonologists would decry the verbal warming on the internet.

fussbudget 

n. money required to fund repairs and clean-up after a riot, rock festival, family reunion etc. Also used with humourous intent by anarchists budgeting for rocks, balaclavas, bail, matches etc. before a riot.

I don't know why those government wanks are upset. Their fussbudget for the riot was lower than ours.

Yeah but that's because you insist on designer face masks, a film crew and imported bricks. I'm beginning to think you're not a real anarchist.
