I make us new words frequently and often not intentionally. I find myself hearing a word come out of my mouth and then ask ... is that a word? Is is now.

I am still pondering the meaning of 'IS' after Bill Clinton debated it during his impeachment hearings.

My husband and I do this between us. We have a whole language that only we understand. We can talk in code and it is fun.

Haven't heard the orange one.
I hear that NAR is still trying to redefine the word "Realtor" to mean "A real estate agent that adheres to the code of ethics."
There are many words that were popularly defined out here in the 90s that have since been rebranded again.

I'd like to redefine some words that politicians use regularly. Such as "I don't recall".
