Neologisms

OK, as part of my bid to recreate the “fun with words” thread bit by bit, here’s another bit.

This time neologisms (Fowllyd will have come in his plus-fours by this stage of the thread introduction). These are words that have been coined to define new or existing things or concepts.

So let’s have your new words that should enter the language and obviously include your definition.

Here’s a starter list from the Washington Post (5 and 12 do it for me).
