# neolojism,
like neologism, meaning a made up word, but with jism instead, which means spunk. Hence a new word spunked up.

# portmanteau
for instance "chortle" from "chuckle" and "snort". There are two meanings packed up into one word. It's from Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass. What are they teaching in schools these days?

# yeah, sorry,
I sound a bit rude. My inner monologue is now going "blame the whisky, blame the whisky". I think that's the whisky talking though.

Sometimes I take things for granted. I've spend most of my adult life unemployed and I kind of forget that some people have more pressing things to do than spend all day reading.

# well in that case,
I'm just going to leave you with the word "obliquangular", and go to bed. A word so obtuse, when I Google it, I only get a quote from the book I read it in. It is my favourite word after "quincunx".
