decagross 

1440, ten gross, or 10 x 12 dozen, or 10 x 144. Many younger people will not be familiar with the word gross as often used in the past particularly for packaging. I introduced the term "decagross' to a group of journalists and librarians and they all "knew" the meaning but were surprised that the word did not exist in any dictionary. I might add that these people were all over 70. A university maths lecturer told me that no one under 60 would have a clue. I coined the word when I asked how many units a cabinet for programming I pads for an art gallery held. I was told 1440.

Cheaper by the dozen or cheaper by the gross. Hence deca plus gross becomes decagross

Deagressive 

“I’m very deagressive compared to her”

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
