The English major in me is thrilled at the prospect of spasmastical logogenesis.

What fun! Love the post mjjj. I'm a neologaholic, for sure. Verbotomy bookmarked, bam. Vigormortis is my fav for the definition To be physically overcome by a sudden illness, disability, or even death when asked to participate in unrewarding activities -- like work, or household chores.
Doesn't seem fair that The James Gang gets the ownership of others' inventions though. Still, cool site.

Several of my own neologisms:
Galactigasm - An orgasm caused by the new Battlestar Galactica. Coined during the first broadcast of the episode Exodus Pt. 2. Adama Maneuver. LAWL.
Jossaholic - Someone who is addicted to the works of Joss Whedon. These works contain the Jossahol, which many find terribly addicting.
And my favorite:
Addorifying - Something that is both extremely cute and intensely frightening.

Nice little game, madamjujujive.
Cool design and illustrations.
Creating new words is fun, but as soon as you have more than 30 or 40 entries, voting (and even reading them) becomes boring. Needs tweaking.
