Webster’s just added a slew of new words to the dictionary. For fellow lyric-maker-uppers, be sure to check out “mondegreen”, if you haven’t heard of it before.

It seems someone can just make up a word, work it into everyday language and wait a few years. Eventually, it may end up in the  big book of words.

What words will you coin?

I’m working on my personal favorites:
1. Confuser – a confused user of the internet
2. Modifly – modify on the fly; make a change during an existing process or operation

…both of which were born from usability testing
