word up

heard about this website on the radio.
for those of you that love messing with the english language, you've got to check this out.
http://www.unwords.com/. you can submit words that you know (or have made up), that aren't in the dictionary but should be. they go through a vetting process, and hopefully your word gets added to their dictionary ( it's more like a "fictionary"...hey maybe i should submit that!)
today's submission from yours truly is as follows:

mor-gasm (more-gasm)..the rush one feels when obtaining yet more highly desirable stuff.

i.e. " Suzie was so excited about getting another pair of Gucci sandals on sale, she practically
had a mor-gasm right there at Lord and Taylor".

OK, here's one. Don't think it's original, but I love it:

Carpet-petuation: the act of running a sweeper over a piece of lint, yarn or smudge over and over again, until you finally have to pick the damn thing up with your hands and throw it away.
