    I just came here to point out that there are no "real" words and "made-up" words. All words are made-up and if you like a term, you are free to use it and no one can stop you. Actually, I do encourage you to use made-up words frequently. What do you think Shakespeare did? (Also how do you lose a sock in a dryer in a good way??)

    There are, however, official and unofficial words. That's the only way anyone can understand meaning, you flarmigeddining winglebloppiz! Now, did I insult you, or was that a complement? You don't know, because those words have no meaning to you.
