"Suppulent" isn't a word...

...but it should be.

Any other not-words that deserve consideration for word-dom?

Truthiness (although that kind of exists now)

Vlogger--oh wait you mean words that don't exist and should, not words that shouldn't exist and do.

I hate to be the overly obvious one, but I'd put Fugly on that list.

I have a confession to make--I just thought "suppulent" was the perfect word to describe bewbs.

bewbs are too perfect for just a one word description, but suppulent is so...organically sensual sounding that it's just right. What about the left one? ...I'm making this up as we go along...how about firmorbish:

She had two of the most suppulent, firmorbish bewbs I've seen in the last hour.

Not to be a wet blanket, but aren't most parsable pseudo-neologisms either just uncommon prefixes and suffixes or portmanteau? Everything in this thread is portmanteau.

A local radio show had/has a feature where people write in nominations for new words for things not yet worded.

My lady likes the word they came up with for that first burst of cold water when you turn on the shower - "forespray".

Another one she has mentioned from the radio show is for those tunes that get stuck in your head - "aneurythms".

She has a book of them lying around I should look at. Is it cheating to look up non-existent words to contribute to a thread of un-words? Would you find them in an antithesaurus?

[1871 ‘L. CARROLL’ Through Looking-glass vi. 127 Well, ‘slithy’ means ‘lithe and slimy’... You see it's like a portmanteau{em}there are two meanings packed up into one word.] 1871 ‘L. CARROLL’ Through Looking-glass vi. 129 ‘Mimsy’ is ‘flimsy and miserable’ (there's another portmanteau for you). 1991 Internat. Affairs 67 230 The term ‘regional security’ is usually used as a portmanteau to cover at least three different elements of security.

c. Linguistics. A morph which represents two or more morphemes simultaneously. See also Compounds 2c.
1947 Language 23 339 Some may..prefer to reinterpret portmanteaus as bimorphic as well as bimorphemic, even though to do so one must extend the definition of ‘morph’ to cover elements of other than overt phonemic content. 1950 Language 26 84 If we find it more convenient to regard these forms as single morphs, we must at least take them to be portmanteaus, and not completely arbitrary ones. 1971 D. KASTOVSKY Stud. in Morphology{em}Aspects of Eng. & German Verb Inflection 17 [In German verbs] person and number always occur together and thus form a complex morphemic unit (portmanteau). 1992 A. M.

{dag}4. A clothes rack, an arrangement of pegs to hang clothes on. Obs.
1728 E. CHAMBERS Cycl., Port-Manteau, a piece of Joiner's Work, fasten'd to the Wall, in a Wardrobe, Armory, &c. proper for the hanging on of Cloaks, Hats, &c. 1847 C. BRONTË Jane Eyre II. x. 272 It took the light, held it aloft and surveyed the garments pendant from the portmanteau.

So, I'm checking out that site and they have a list of states that have laws about first cousin marrying. Contrary to stereotype, most of the southern states have bans against cousin to cousin hitching but the northeast states are very liberal. So, in honor of our interfamilial hooking up allowances, I have come up with.... (drum roll, please)

Fuzzles: those really light foamy bubbles you get after pounding a crisp mountain of inflated bubble bath into submission.

And a smink would have to be slim person who moves around very quietly, quite possibly wearing glasses and an unreadable expression. Actually, I think this might be a Swedish word. To the dictionary!

Yes indeed: smink would be "make-up; rouge; grease paint". Are there any rules about appropriating words from other languages and redefining them? (Seriously though- smink should definitely have an English usage, and possibly more than one! )
