Smononyms

**1.) Smononyms (smŏn'ə-nĭmz) (noun)**

A phenomenon or *"brain glitch"* that occurs when you're half-asleep, where you accidentally invent a completely new word while desperately trying to remember a real one by combining and mixing two unrelated words together in a moment of sleepy-time genius.

It's the verbal equivalent of your brain buffering. The word itself is a portmanteau of *"synonym"* and the smooth, smushy *"smo-"* sound of a brain turning to mush as it desperately tries to fall asleep :)
The phenomenon is a specific form of **hypnagogic jargon** *(a fancy term for the nonsensical stuff that happens in the transitional state between awake and asleep).*

**2.) Smononym (smŏn'ə-nĭm)**
The actual, specific word that gets created by this process. Often sounds like it should be real and might be weirdly perfect.

**3.) Smononization (smə-ˌnä-nə-'mā-shən)**
The process or result of **smononymizing**. You could say it's the act of *conceptualizing* a **Smononym**.

**4.) Smononologist (smŏn-ə-'nä-lə-jist)**
A person who studies or is an expert in the field of **smononyms**. They're a dedicated scholar of sleepy-time linguistics.
*It's honestly now becoming a dream job of mine. **No. Seriously.** Imagine telling everyone at the next family potluck that you just finished your PHD in **Smononology**. What a marvelous world that would be, huh? :)*
(One can only dream.. Speaking of.. I'm exhausted and am going to sleep now.. Goodnight, and sweet dreams! :)

"I had the craziest moment last night. I was trying to fall asleep, and I couldn't think of the word **Synonyms**. So for some reason my brain kept coming up with the word **Smononyms** instead. It bugged me so much that I couldn't get to sleep, but I kept thinking about the word **Smononyms**. I look it up and apparently *it doesn't exist as a word!* That's when I think to myself *'wow, you just came up with a new word. Your sleepy little mushy goblin brain came up with a brand spankin' new word! But what could it mean? What does it define? Oh, wait, I have the perfect idea, it defines itself!'* and that's how I **Smononized** the word **Smononyms** :)"

synonyms: slut

Connoting an excessively promiscuous female frequently engaging in sexual activities with multiple partners.

Of note: There is not a similar term available to describe male promiscuity since these behaviors are celebrated in masculine culture.

Sarah is such a slut! She had sex with Jake, Tyler, and Scott last weekend and slept with four other random dudes this week.

synonyms: asshole

Adolf, or, alternatively, Hitler. (Although commonly thought to be a comparison between Germany's leader during WWII and people who exhibit this type of personality, the real connection is that a standard method of referring to these people is to call them an "A H" which happens to be Hitler's initials (Adolf Hitler). The fact that Hitler himself was an asshole simply adds icing to the cake.)

1. Get out of my face Adolf!

3. Who's the Adolf that cut the cheese?
4. Yeah? Well, you also said you'd pull out in time, Adolf!
