    Methinks JP is pulling your leg. Anyone with a rotund vocbulary we be aware of these words although would most probably not use them in banal interaction.

    Funnily enough we've been talking about reinventing the meanings of words already in use to create new words today in my seminars/lectures. I'll have to ask one of my professors if reinventing a word does in fact constitute it being classified as a new word or not.

    We shall see.
