most of us at one time or another have made words up together with their meanings - here is mine to start things off . . .

Discombooberated! - which (when I was about 6) meant that I was KNACKERED!!!!!

Please post your made-up-word and (if it has one) its meaning.

This should be funny!!!

Please refer to the passage from (note the date):

# A New Dictionary of Synonyms
# Kemp Malone
# American Speech, Vol. 18, No. 2 (Apr., 1943), pp. 138-141


"Discombooberated is a variant of the discombobolated, discombobberated, etc., one current in slang usage. It appears in 'Hollywood Diary,' by Harry Evans,The family Circle, July 10 1942"


Can anyone beat 1942?
 
My dear mother coined "STUPIDIOT", around 1985 because she was so mad at me she found a more efficient way to yell at me for being a stupid idiot. :(
 
P40. Me and a friend made it up as a code word for cigarette. It's now spread between my year and the year below at school. :)

"Lets go for a P40"
