From one of the incompetent muppets who works for us, and believes he is the boss, even though he is simply the boss's brother.

"Innovationalisation"

Why use a simple, not to mention real word, when you can invent a ridiculous one?!

LOL. We quite often have Friday lunch in the Dana Centre, and the tables have loads of words like that on them. I assume it's meant to be a joke on such things, or at least make you think about the words, but I hope nobody takes them seriously, and tries to use them (or indeed pronounce or spell them!)

Verbogeny

"Pyrrhic Compromise" and "Proctonomics" are just genius though.

As it were on telly t'other day, and it's still brilliant:
-----------------------------
Dr. Samuel Johnson: [places two manuscripts on the table, but picks up the top one] Here it is, sir. The very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language.
Blackadder: Every single one, sir?
Dr. Samuel Johnson: Every single word, sir!
Blackadder: Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.
Dr. Samuel Johnson: What?
Blackadder: "Contrafribularites", sir? It is a common word down our way.
Dr. Samuel Johnson: Damn!
[writes in the book]
Blackadder: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.
