Here’s another topic that came to us from a loyal reader: The Washington Post’s Annual Mensa Invitational. Read about it here:

I realize that making up words and/or definitions can be fun. So I was wondering if anybody has any new ones to contribute. My rules are not as strict as the Washington Post that you can only change one letter, etc. All I’d like to know is: what are some words you’ve made up? It could be a combination of two words, for example this word defined in UrbanDictionary:

• celebutard: refers to any of a crop of famous people (mostly young, mostly filthy rich) who are unable to form complete sentences in a public setting, e.g. Paris Hilton

Here is a short list I came up with to get it started. Yes, I realize that not all of these words are my own creation:

• Drapples: Dried apples
• Allsome: Something that is awesome all the way
• Pastabilities: The menu options at an Italian restaurant
• Squarbles: Square marbles - this is a real toy that came out when I was a kid. See the commercial here.
