consonantipation

The withholding of consonants in words. This is especially true of a g after -in, as in "swimmin" instead of "swimming". Also very common is the h after t, as in "dat" instead of "that". It can be taken to an extreme as in "Prez Clin" instead of "President Clinton". Consonantipation is becoming more and more common as people get lazier and lazier with both spoken and written communication.

clownzoned

when somebody (or multiple people) say that you're a clown more than once. Similar to friendzoned, except you're a clown.
Alternatively; clownzone:
to accept your clown fate and be in it neck deep, whether you like it or not.
You just called me a clown... my friend just called me a clown like an hour ago... I guess I'm just getting clownzoned today, huh.

Consonant Gangbang

When words seem to consist of more consonants than vowels and are extremely long and complicated, e.g. in German language
"Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft is really a consonant Gangbang, don't you think?" (German for Danube shipping electricity main operations facility construction administrator's society)

lost consonant

Mistakenly omitting a consonant from a word, resulting in a sentance or phrase taking on a different meaning altogether. I first saw it used in a book by Graham Rawle, but I think it's a generic term.
After golf, David went for a drink in the cub bar.
