Not a whole lot of personal info, there; but we're closing in on George Norman and his paramour..

George Norman says so.

 

[wolram]

And, crumpatuous? Now there goes a crumpatuous lady. a cracker.

 

[russ_watters]

russ watters' word salad (a meaningless string of words; worse than nonsense).

I can't claim the invention of that one. I've seen it many times in forums. I do, however, make up words all the time. I get that from my sister, who can verb-ize any word (turn any noun into a verb).

Anyway, some of my favorite invented words are ones I invent in the politics forum. Ie, "neohippieism".

edit: Related word - hippify: applied to a person, to grow long dredlocks, stop showering, and start smoking pot. Applied to an object - to paint it tie dyed, stop maintining it, and cover it with bumper stickers (whether its a car or not).

dopeler effect - the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Oh yeah - as an engineer, I have "coefficients" and "effects" for everything. Ie:

crackpot coefficient: fraction of posters in a thread who are crackpots.

"I'm outta here - the crackpot coefficient is just too high for meaningful conversation."

Maybe Rosalinda was his favorite childhood sled...
