neologatrophy

Old professor Wilhelm submitted a great new word to the Urban Dictionary and all he got was rejection and subsequent neologatrophy. Poor sod gots nothin' but snow peas for testicles, now!

netlag

A feeling like jetlag that happens after you use your computer after sunset and the bright backlight tricks your body into thinking it's still daytime.

(For details, google "photoentrainment".)

I was online until midnight last night, and now I feel like I'm still on Tokyo time. Netlag sucks.

John being a neologist had a habit of making up new words that strangely enough while newly formed appeared to make sense.

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."
– Academic Instincts, 20014
