I do like my Amishing word, and I'm glad Liz likes it, too. My other favorite new create-a-word? Typoing. Typo needs to be both a noun and a verb, especially in my current line of work, so I'm turning it into a verb.
What're your favorite words you've created?

Dinkus (anyone who disputes that I created this word is a dinkus)
Hmm...and in the past tense, it's typoed. I like it. :)
I've not really invented any good words, but one we use all the time at work is "tellering." It's what tellers at a bank or credit union do.
The first time I use that word with new employees, they always look at me like, she's messed up, and I tell them that it's a real word.
But it's not. We just use it enough in the industry that it's acceptable.
AH I just saw your Cafe Rio Pic blog. I SAW THAT IN MY MAG TODAY! I was literally going to scan it and blog it. You beat me to it.
Wendy McLoo, so true.
Liz, tellering is genius! You need it in your industry just as we need typoing in ours. =)
Morgan, your comment had me laughing out LOUD!
JENNY! Your comment's off a post or two, m'dear. It's okay, I love you anyway. You are my BFF, after all.
