Urban Lexicon

The Urban Lexicon is a subsection of vocabulary, words and expressions within the English language that are reserved solely for elite members of society.

Those well versed in the Urban Lexicon are familiar with the most obscure and absurd ideas and thoughts imaginable since these absurdities can only be expressed through the superior means the Urban Lexicon provides compared to the regular lexicon the common folk possess. Proficiency in the Urban Lexicon is considered the epitome of high culture.

Immigration Officer: If you want to give your children the best opportunity to excel in our society then I suggest you read them at least ten entries from Urban Dictionary every night to bolster their Urban Lexicon.

Immigrant: I shall heed your advice since I wish for my children to become fully assimilated into your culture. I will abandon my own language and fully devote myself to the teaching of the Urban Lexicon to my children. Thank you for your kindness.

laxicon

n. the vocabulary of a person or group that is limited to a small number of key words. These 3-5 words replace all other vocabulary, and can convey all emotions. A common laxicon consists of the words "Dude," "Awesome," "Whatever."

I stopped dating that guy because he kept calling me "Dude," and every other word out of his mouth was "awesome." His laxicon got really annoying.

lexipoem, or lexicopoem

lexipoem, or lexicopoem n (Gr. lexis, "word, phrase, expression," from legein, "say", + Gr. poiein, "to make or compose") – a single word as a poetic composition; a neologism as a creative work.

Ralph Emerson said: "Every word was once a poem."
The word "lexipoem" is an abbreviation of this aphorism condensed into a single word.

Every word (lexis) was once a poem (poiema)… and still IS at the moment of its coinage.
