neolojism

ne·ol·o·jism
Pronunciation nee-ol-uh-jiz-uhm

noun
1. a new word, meaning, usage, or phrase that was coined unnecessarily, probably in a juvenile effort to coin a term for the sake of coining the term.
2. the introduction or use of useless, clumsy new words or poorly conceived alternative senses of existing words.
3. a new doctrine, esp. a new interpretation of sacred writings, in which one acquires sexy results.
4. (Psychiatry.) a gush of new words, often consisting of combinations of other words and gibberish, that is understood only by the speaker: occurring most often in the speech of schizophrenics and drunken fraternity members.

ne-ol-o-jizz, verb
ne·ol·o·jist, noun
ne·ol·o·jis·tic, ne·ol·o·jis·ti·cal, adjective

Rather than providing examples of the usage of the word neolojism in a sentence, it will perhaps be more useful to provide examples of neolojisms in the wild. For example, "convergasm" is an ill-conceived portmanteau of "converse" and "orgasm" that fails to be both useful and amusing. The same can be said of "conversatanist" and "discuntled", though only the latter example could ever see reasonable use among losers.

On the other hand, "plumplex" is an example of a neolojism that makes no sense in addition to being useless, and it suffers additionally due to its marked lack of intuitive grace. The term "spreebz" is merely goddamned retarded and should have been rejected by the editors.

Overall, more than 60% of all of the Urban Dictionary will be neolojisms, with 20% of that number being passably amusing.

Neologism

A neologism (from Greek neo = "new" + logos = "word") is a word that, devised relatively recently in a specific time period, has not been accepted into a mainstream language. By definition, neologisms are "new", and as such are often directly attributable to a specific individual, publication, period, or event. The term "neologism" was coined in 1803.1

In psychiatry, the term neologism is used to describe the use of words that only have meaning to the person who uses them, independent of their common meaning. This is considered normal in children, but a symptom of thought disorder (indicative of a psychotic mental illness, such as schizophrenia) in adults.

"Yesterday's neologisms, like yesterday's jargon, are often today's essential vocabulary."

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?"

neologasm

the intensely pleasurable sensations generated by using, hearing or coining a new word or phrase (that doesn't suck). Frequent neologasms have been proven to reduce the biological age of both the speaker and the listener. Neologism + orgasm.

Neologism

A Neologism can be a few different things. It can be a new word, a new way someone uses a word, or a new type of phrase.
It is derived from the Greek word, Neo, which means "New."

A Neologism in the sense of a new word would be, for instance, Chumbling. This is chewing and mumbling at the same time. In this, it is also a compound word, however, it is a new or recent word. In the sense of a new use of a word, look at the use of the words in the Urban Dictionary. These are all neologisms. This also applies to the phrases. The Urban Dictionary, in it self is a Neologistic source.
