I love making up words and then using them enough to see if they pass into some kind of common use. Did it with "Blue Clicky" on Mudcat (although I was probably one of the last to actually learn HOW to do a blue clicky)

My friends Sue Goldberg and Caroline Paton did the same with "omphaloscopist" (navel gazing singer songwriter).

Years ago when I was trying to come to terms with the number of "celtic" albums sent to me for radio air-play, I coined

"Afro-Mari-Mexi-Celtoid" (which is of course a band with Cape Breton Fiddler, Conjunto accordionist, and Nigerian percussionist, playing "Druids with Drums" music. Got a real shock last month when I recieved an album in which the band described their music EXACTLY like that. Well, they said "Celtic" instead of "celtoid", but it's close.

P.S. Time to harvest all the cat hair from the rug.
