I just heard somebody use the word "monumentous." This obviously a mix-up between "momentous" and "monumental," but I actully like it.

lexicogenesis is actually one of my internal hobbies

I just heard the word "de-influence." Context: "I de-influenced myself," i.e. got rid of the mental programming from watching too many online "influencers". I think that's a word which could have mere general uses, too.

Celibism (Polish: celibizm) - lack of being in romantic relationship and living in erotic continence and chastity, also without vow or promise.

Harcelism (Polish: harcelizm) - from "hard celibism" and "harsh celibism" - living in celibism despite discomfort or (and) sexual drive and desire. Chastity is good, of course!

Harcelosis (Polish: harceloza) - from "harcelism" and "psychosis" - severe discomfort or serious mental suffering due to prolonged harcelism, it can have positive symptoms (more intense or more problematic temptations, obsessions, fears, unwanted thoughts) and negative symptoms (low energy, motivation deficits, apathy, avolition, fatigue, slowness). Despite suffering from harcelosis, I know that chastity is definitely good

Marcel - protologism coined from three first letters of both of the words "marital" and "celibism". Living in sexual continence and chastity while being in marriage, especially when sexual desire and sexual drive are present. In Poland "Marcel" is a male name.

Monstrotheism (Polish: monstroteizm) - blend of monstrous, monster and monotheism. Belief in the existence of the one and only deity who is morally monstrous and malevolent (especially in hypocritical way).
