Top Ten Favorite Words
I remember as a kid, my friend and I created a word -
"albatroticsignetica" - we never did create a meaning, just the word. Funny I remember that after all these years. Here are some, others have thought up and use.

2. confuzzled (adj): confused and puzzled at the same time
3. woot (interj): an exclamation of joy or excitement
4. chillax (v): chill out/relax, hang out with friends
5. cognitive displaysia (n): the feeling you have before you even leave the house that you are going to forget something and not remember it until you're on the highway

I like your made-up word. It sounds like a real scientific word, or the title of an 80's album.
Loved the words. I'm using snit from now on.
I sometimes see "woot" spelled like "w00t". Why is that, oh wise one?
