Found in an old notebook: three words I made up while cleaning student kitchens.

GRUST (n.) A substance composed of blended grease and dust. At first glance, it seems "grust" might be confused with "grease and rust." However, one good thing about an aerosolysed-vegetable-oil-rich atmosphere is protection from corrosion.

GRINT (n.) A substance composed of blended grease and lint. Often found in extractor fans. You'll notice a pattern here.

GROTH (n.) A very sad substance found typically on window ledges. It is composed of grease and dead moths.

Grust sounds like the newest hybrid of grindcore and crust punk.

The latest thing is "Groth". The new hybrid of "Goth" and "Grunge".

Or is it "Goth", and "Grindcore"? One of the two. :lol:

Mortpanteau: a portmanteau that has been spoonerised, such as "whaleray" (from "railway"). Not to be confused with "mort-panto," the traditional Pantomime of the Dead performed in England at Halloween.

Whore-roar game. The game where you escape haunted brothel after being enchanted to think that you got there with real prostitute and everything inside the whore house was fine... Until that bish you came with started roaring and changing shape.

Sounds more suitable for coding, information in general. Or something to do with anonimity and trash bins. Like anonimous bin -ery (like in refinery, bakery) (whatever that may be).

"Mieć gatomona w głowie" czy "miedź gatomona w głowie"?

Translation: "To have a gatomon in the head" or "gatomon's copper in the head"?

"Gatomon" - cat, "copper" - here means the "number two" because of the colour of this metal.

"Mieć kota w głowie" (literally: "To have cat in the head") - Polish idiom with the meaning "to be crazy".

"Mieć" and "miedź" have the same or at least very similar pronunciation in Polish.

So what is worse: to be crazy or to have cat's number two in the head?

Amanitium - fictional chemical element (name associated with Amanita muscaria mushroom). Amanita muscaria is called muchomor czerwony in Polish. So, Polish name of this element would be just muchomor.

Neologisms associated with "hypothetical" amanitium compounds (in English and Polish):

Amanitane - muchomorowodór.
Subamanitide - podmuchomorek.
Amanitide - muchomorek.
Peramanitide - nadmuchomorek.
Superamanitide - ponadmuchomorek.
Hypoamanitous (acid) - (kwas) podmuchomorawy.
Amanitous (acid) - (kwas) muchomorawy.
Amanitic (acid) - (kwas) muchomorowy.
Peramanitic (acid) - (kwas) nadmuchomorowy.
Hypoamanitite - podmuchomoryn.
Amanitite - muchomoryn.
Amanitate - muchomoran.
Peramanitate - nadmuchomoran.

Pracomor (or pracomór; from praca+‎ -o- +‎ morzyć) - my neologism for the mental issue which I have, analogous to Polish word "muchomor" (or "muchomór", alternative form of "muchomor"). In the case of the word "pracomor", the word ("zabijać") (which means "just" "to kill") fits better to my disorder than "morzyć" ("to kill slowly in a cruel way"). English counterparts of the word "pracomor" could be neologisms like "workbane" or "jobbane".

Excellent book on puns: 'The Pun Also Rises: How the Humble Pun Revolutionized Language, Changed History, and Made Wordplay More Than Some Antics.'

Book mentions that brainwave scans showed that the (logical) left-side of the brain immediately "kicked" the (emotional) right-side of the brain into gear - via mentions of wordplays...puns - WHOA!
