There will be some proper content shortly. Maybe.

However... in the interim...

I don't mind people making up words. I do it all the time, after all. But there are some neologisms which just make my skin crawl.

I was reminded of this at lunchtime when a colleague included the word "chillaxin'" in a sentence[*]; it's possibly my least-favourite word from the last few years.

Any advance on chillaxing in the horribleness stakes? Has to be a word with at least some level of usage, not something one of your mates said once.

[*] Admittedly, I suspect he did this chiefly because he thought it would make my skin crawl.

My Gentleman Friend Simon has created TMZ, which is short for 'totes amaze' short for 'totally amazing.'

It's amazing I let him speak sometimes ;) We never needed totes amaze, let alone TMZ.

On the other hand, if he really must TMZ is probably preferable.
