Go check out the Pseudodictionary - "the place where words you've made up can become part of an actual online dictionary."

I found it wracked with my usual early morning insomnia unable to shake the word "gaper's delay" from my head. The Pseusodictionary defines it as "the traffic delay resulting from a roadside accident or similar spectacle. Derived from drivers' "gaping" behavior when driving near an accident. Heard on the air in Chicago." Browsing the F section (I probably needn't say) brings up some nice results too - f-bomb ("Relates to a situation where someone said "fuck." e.g., The car wouldn't start, so I dropped the f-bomb in front of my grandmother") or my favourite f-commerce ("An alphabetic leap forward in e-commerce. Once internet companies e-enabled everything, now they are f-ing them. e.g., F-commerce is the next logical step for our struggling dot com. I mean, we've f-d up everything else."

one more that I almost, but not quite, get - an S2 is a "Brown-eyed, sweet, cute, hot chick that lives in, oh yeah! Canada. Men have been known to go 5000 miles to see an s2. e.g., "Let's head up to Ontario this weekend to check out some s2." "Mark, now that sounds like a plan!""
