Just coin a term, and explain if necessary.

Mine is: monopulative.

Inspired by the [sadly true] stereotypes that revolve around the business and commercial policy of Microsoft Corporation. I used it in an e-mail.

For those who didn't get it (and I'm writing this for an extrea paragraph only): monopoly + manipulative = monopulative.

Lagurchedy which means tired, lagging, dragging yourself around or when your computer moves very slowly and it drives you insane.

I'm going to coin a phrase:

If you can't take the laughter, get out of the giant bright yellow chicken suit.

I have been known to use the word vehiculage in conversation to refer to a car or mode of transportation. (pronounced vee HIC you ledge)

Example: I would totally go to the mall with you, but we don't have the vehiculage!

I would dearly love a widely accepted non-gender pronoun set to replace he/she and his/her.

My husband coined the phrase "vehicular Tourette's" to describe his sudden sharp increase in profuse (and creative!) profanity when driving.

Afr -- I believe the word suggested was sheheit, but it resulted in too much laughter and some censoring.

Back to my UNIX identity (this way you know what OS I'm in).

I made up a word - equivalisation (no, "equivalization" is NOT acceptable even for you Americans; I make up the spellling, *wink*). It means "comparison", but I thought you need it on the base of "equivalent". The verb is (Present Simple) "to equivalise", (Past Simple) "equivalose", (Past Perfect) "equivalisen". This is based on rise, rose, risen (hey! I'm allowed to make up a strong verb to fit).
