I took etymology at nerd camp, and know what? 'inornifosion' is the act of putting into your mouth things that are, and I quote the text, "against the Gods."
Yeah, it was a good class to take. Even though they graded you in it, and I got a B+, and the evil portly teacher told my mom I could have done better... Pssh, my mom said, he's here for the damn summer, and he's learning latin and greek prefixes and suffixes. For fun. I think we'll accept a B+.
There was a lot of memorizing, but I'm not very good at memorizing, and I did ok, so it can't have been that hard.
There were other neologisms we made up, but I've forgotten 'em. I had a word for the practice of using turtles as pack animals, long lost to the sands of time.
