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.

neologosexual

someone with a fetish for coining new terms concerning human sexuality. After roughly a decade, 1994-2005, of being tickled by hearing new terms like metrosexual, pomosexual, and ubersexual, urbanites and cyberliterati realized that such neologisms had become phenoms themselves, frequently appearing with citations referencing who had coined them and when. (Mark Simpson coined metrosexual in 1994, while Queen and Schimel popularized pomosexual in 1997, and O'Reilly, Matathia, and Salzman coined ubersexual in 2005.) Thus, the race was on for fame and glory--to coin every plausible permutation using the suffix "-sexual." For some, it's become a fetish... the "neologosexuals" or simply "logosexuals."

"Shortstopsexual" is latest coinage of this neologosexual. Let's hope he was watching baseball before he came up with that one.

neologiphilia

The love of new words. Neologiphilia is not a considered pathological condition unless a person becomes so obsessive about learning or conceiving new words that other areas of his/her life suffer.

People who spend inordinate amount of time perusing The Urban Dictionary are sometimes said to be affected by neologiphilia.
