vocabularize

(v.) To create, coin, or utilize a previously undefined word; to combine portions of one or more words, prefixes, and/or suffixes to produce a new word.

The pop-culture term sniglet refers to the new word itself, while the act of devising new sniglets is vocabularization. Although similar, it should be noted that acronyms and shorthand abbreviations remain distinct practices outside the scope of vocabularization.

"Does anyone know who first vocabularized 'emoticon' (textual/graphical smiley-faces)?"

vocabularical bitch slap 

When someone uses a needlessly complicated or esoteric word when a simpler word or expression would suffice.
A common occurence amongst neophyte academics who wish to impress peers.

Why did you say "lacuna" to just say that he had a "break" or "opening" in his schedule? That was a needless vocabularical bitch slap.
