Both words have been around since I was a nipper.
That's 20 years. Does it still count as a neologism?

I don't think it's about how old it is,

Etymonline.com notes
"Shat is a humorous past tense form, not etymological, first recorded 18c."

So it's pretty old, but was made up to be funny.

This.
I know it's not the correct past tense. My dad says it, and I used to find it hilarious when I was little.
