angelicacy...and other delectable made up words

I was thinking about made up words that I often use. They're fun to think of and use (most of the below words were accidents, funny mistakes or things that just HAPPENED though). But here are some of my favourites:

  • Angelicacy: noun derived from the word "angelic"
  • Scrumptilicious: scrumptious and delicious
  • Engorgilate: exaggerate
  • Chicken freeze: panic or become overexcited
  • Josh: slightly egocentric (from the deputy chief of staff in the Bartlet administration)
  • Complicator: computer
  • Famishalated: famished and starvalated
  • Burrocracia: bureaucracy (of the mulish sort)
  • WASC: can be used as noun, verb (WASC-ify etc.), adjective or swear word, meaning red tape
I think they're pretty cute.
