Does anybody remember the Snigglet books written by Rich Hall? Snigglets are words for things that should have Words but don't. Here are some examples
1.
BURGACIDE
n. When a hamburger can't take any more torture and hurls itself through the grill into the coals.
2.
BUZZACKS
n. People in phone marts who walk around picking up display phones and listening for dial tones even when they know the phones are not connected.
3.
DIMP
n. A person who insults you in a cheap department store by asking, "Do you work here?"
4.
PETROPHOBIC
adj. One who is embarrassed to undress in front of a household pet.
5.
DISCONFECT
v. To sterilize the piece of candy you dropped on the floor by blowing on it, somehow assuming this will `remove' all the germs.
Lets see how creative you people really are. Give it a try!
Yes Quirky you may use Permagutter if you like. I will not be offended.

That snigglet thing sounds very like a book I had some years ago...it was called the meaning of LIF. It was really funny, the words used where obscure English place names, one I particulary remember is BLEEN this translated to ..BLEEN was a measure of light, one Bleen was the light emitted the flash light of a cimena usher. Also one BLEEN was the equivalent of 100 candles !!. There were loads more ....I must try and find that book.
I Love burgercide
