What cool words have you made up?
I once came up with "raze" while selecting photos for publication. One would get extra consideration because it was razor-sharp — "It's raze, man!"

And I used to say "bogue" as a short form of "bogus."

3. "Monk"
as in "I monked the kitchen".

31. Thank you. My friends have a sense of humor,
called me "monk", so I went ahead and made it into a verb. :D

12. "Toot" - rhymes with foot, not like "to 'toot' your horn"
Meaning: to flick the ash of a cigarette or cigar.

Don't you think you'd better toot your ash. It's getting long.

21. Blargo...
...which is a term I use when I feel like I've eaten too much. As in, "I'm feeling very blargo right now"...
Even I am unsure of it's precise origins but I think I subconsciously combined the words bloated, large, and cargo together.
