Keep in mind, this is a FAKE word, not real. :/

The act of putting a fake word in your dictionary to trick others who copy your dictionary into admitting it without knowing it, like how New Oxford American Dictionary put in the word "Esquivalience" into their dictionary, and when dictionary.com had that word, New Oxford American Dictionary could report them for copying their dictionary
Human 1: Wow did you hear about how New Oxford American Dictionary tricked dictionary.com into admitting that they copied their dictionary?
Human 2: No, I did not! What happened?
Human 1: Well New Oxford American Dictionary esquivalienced them!
Human 2: Really? Wow!
Human 1: Yes, and after proving that they were copying, New Oxford American Dictionary could shut down dictionary.com after absorbing all their assets, by making them file for bankruptcy! Then, New Oxford American Dictionary found the owner of dictionary.com and sued him for millions, causing him to have to pay up his daughter's college fund, his and his wife's retirement fund, their pensions, their 401ks, their savings, and the deed to their house, causing him to declare personal bankruptcy! Then, they found him hungry on the street, and hired 4 thugs to beat him up, leading to him going to the hospital, and was only half-treated due to his lack of insurance and lack of savings! Then, he spent 14 years as an indentured servant to pay off the remainder of his lawsuit, and finally, 3 more years to pay back his hospital bills! He died homeless, starving to death, along with his wife and 2 children who also ended up dying, after being unable to afford food.
Human 2: That'll teach 'em not to copy off of New Oxford American Dictionary! Copyright for the win!
