A Perfectly Cromulent Thread

Essentially, this thread is for words you've made up. Please provide their meaning... this isn't a guessing game.

Hey there, Archsage! Seeing as no one else has contributed to this thread, here are some words my brother and I have made up:

• Conjlagical Ice - Ice that breaks down and refreezes into a different shape.
• Forebe - Taking a two-syllable word and switching their order around.^note  It's a mangled version of "before! Get it?
• Jokidlying - A Portmanteau of "joking", "kidding", and "lying". We used when we hear something that's blatantly untrue.
• Pull A Coban - When and online celebrity abruptly stops uploading and never returns. This in reference to let's player Cobanermani 456, who hasn't uploaded a video since 2018 due to a myriad of personal issues.

Sloppery, a combination of slippery and sloppy that one of my characters uses to describe the conditions of what was to have been a training exercise area after a once in a century monsoon spent the better part of a week squatting over the grounds.

Autocorrupt - when autocorrect messes up a sentence/word

Since the term "Vanilla" is used to refer to standard games (i.e. Minecraft) without any add-ons, my brother and I have came up with other food-themed terms for Minecraft add-ons.

• Chocolate Minecraft - Minecraft with mods installed.
• Rocky Road Minecraft - Minecraft with texture packs.
• Butterscotch Minecraft - Minecraft with shaders.
• French Vanilla Minecraft - Minecraft with commands allowed.
• Neapolitan Minecraft - Minecraft with 2 or more of the above at the same time.

And now I'm hungry!

Squaregular: When a thing is roughly square shaped.

Squaretoil: A square or squaregular thing with a square/gular hole in the middle, like Hatsune Miku's hair clips or the Roblox logo.

Buttbuttination: Assassination but censored by a Scunthorpe filter

Christmasizing and Dechristmasizing - decorating for Christmas and putting the Christmas stuff away, respectively. I think Dechristmasizing actually came first. Origin: Self-explanatory.

Umpfterbring. Being tired but unable to sleep, e.g. "I wish I slept better, I was so umpfterbring last night". Origin: Nonsense syllables that somehow got lodged in my head when I was trying to get to sleep one night.

A high school friend used to say any piece of clothing or accessory with kind of a fluffy, feathery appearance/texture to it was "oofy" - a particularly fluffy featherless boa could be considered "oofy", or certain fuzzy sweaters. I haven't seen this person in person in years, and they probably don't say that anymore - but it's stuck with me somehow, perhaps especially because at the time I liked the song "Sugar" by System of a Down, and this person's predilection for oofyness caused me to mondegreen one of the lyrics as "ooh baby, she's oofy!" (instead of "she's okay!").

One that someone thought up using my handle.

Shiny Substitute: A rare and valuable object that theoretically could or even does exist, but circumstances prevent it from being obtainable. Based around the idea that, in Pokemon, there could be a 1/4000 chance of seeing a substitute doll with shiny coloration, yet there is no proper way to catch it.

"We joke about how Britain would have colonized the moon, but it's something of a Shiny Substitute."

Now that I think about it, an alternative name for that last one could also be called "Pull A Third Mario Brother", since his last upload was on September 28th, 2019.

"Analysing the messenger" - Like shooting the messenger, except instead of shooting the person down, you're asking questions that they wouldn't know the answers to.

• Enchanted Plot Armor: When a Minecraft speedrunner manages to miraculously survive a hazard they encounter on their play, even when it seems impossible.

Netflixtential dread: the fear that you'll never be able to watch all the TV shows you want.

Plake: A body of water that's bigger than a pond, but smaller than a lake.

I once heard someone say that as a kid, they came up with the word "beodin" to describe the color of a sunset (example sentence: "Come outside, there's a really nice beodin sky!") and their family still uses it to this day.
