"There are few products in the history of mankind more successful or beloved than cola. So it's weird that in 1967, 7-Up launched a campaign declaring itself "the uncola." This became a widely known slogan, but no one was really sure what it meant. It didn't mean the opposite of delicious cola, because who would want that? And it was almost confrontationally nonsensical. Each ad was 15 to 30 seconds of chunky word smoothie. They were literally trying to uninvent English, and I blame my misuse of the word literally entirely on them."

Ben Heaton: Neologism? Lewis, that's a word you just made up.

Piglet: "Didn't you say, 'snows'?"
Winnie the Pooh: "Yes, but that was before."
Piglet: "Before the 'tiddely-pom'?"
Winnie the Pooh: "It was a different 'tiddely-pom'."

George Banks: "There, well done, you said it."

I have also invented some new words—'confuzzled,' which is being confused and puzzled at the same time, 'snirt,' which is a cross between snow and dirt, and 'smushables' … which are squashed groceries you find at the bottom of the bag.
