Eleven words I've invented, unless someone else has

I remember the first time I heard the word "frenemy."

The word had a nice ring to it the first time I said it out loud, so I started using it 5,000 times a day - much in the way the Kids in the Hall's "ascertain guy" used his favorite word:



So when my fellow Red River College employees started lodging complaints alleging cruel and unusual punishment, I knew it was time to make up some new words myself.

I can only hope that one of these has the cache of fren- er...the word that shall not speak its name!
