It can be fun to take a break from writing, editing and corporate communicating to play with words.

Let’s have some fun with these made-up words:


1. Afterclap: the last person to clap at a performance or event.


I know Alison is proud of her daughter, but does she have to be the afterclap every time?

2. Askhole: a person who asks too many pointless, intrusive or obnoxious questions.


I’m never going out with that askhole again.

3. Beerboarding: extracting information from colleagues by buying them drinks.


I think the only way to get answers from the IT folks is to beerboard them.

4. Confrazzled: being confused and frazzled.


Being forced to use this new content management system has left everyone confrazzled.

5. Chuckology: the study of Chuck Norris.

As the Chuckologists say, what would Chuck do?

6. Destinesia: the experience of reaching your destination and forgetting why you’re there.


I mostly experience destinesia on Monday mornings.

7. Gruntled: the opposite of disgruntled.


They’ve just announced this year’s bonus amount, so I’m feeling very gruntled right now.

8. Hiberdating: ignoring everyone else in favor of your boyfriend or girlfriend.


Beth must be hiberdating. I haven’t heard from her in weeks.

9. Intaxicaton: the sense of euphoria felt when receiving a tax refund.


Sarah’s intaxication lasted until she realized that it was her money in the first place.


10. Huggle: a combination of hug and cuddle. A huggle lasts a little longer than a hug.


I think someone needs a huggle.


What words would you add to the list?
