Aegelish (What?)
Aegelish is the official tongue of poetic missteps, noble nonsense, and stylish unraveling, but all have a definition. May appear in Aegelis' books, stories, or posts. Fits well with ramwording.
Example words:
Chamokilometre, which is a unit of distance measurement defined by a shorter time of drinking chamomile tea while walking.
Hilaribeau or Beautifarious, portmanteaus of hilarious and beautiful occurring at the same time.
Sentence example: This minor tumble led to a cascadastrophe of chamokilometric scale, but I emerged with one sock and a hilaribeau bruise to show for it.
Pickuppoo: A dog owner's duty to pick up his dog's doody.
Chombit: Shortened version of "chomping at the bit". Example, "Stuart was chombit to get started on his new robotics project."
Tinninity: A musical kinship with certain songs because their pitch or tone matches one’s tinnitus. "I'm always singing Amazing Grace because it matches my tinninity."
Cascadastrophe, a small fumble or mistake that leads to further larger fumbles or mistakes. For example, spilling water to refill a humidifier led to spilling on a bookshelf. Cleaning the bookshelf sent dust into the air, which caused a sinus infection. (Word credit: Solomon Herberts.)
Windicator: A wind indicator which can be a specific meter, a weathervane, or even someone's hair blowing in a specific direction.
Idioms:
Dug up a petrified dino turd: Resurrecting an old, unpleasant issue that should have remained forgotten.
After two kicks, was done: Giving something a fair, brief try before walking away.
His/her sock is still in the dryer: Someone is mentally out of sync or not fully present. (My wife will attest to my always losing a sock when I do laundry)
Splashing biohazards: Causing unnecessary chaos, drama, or emotional messes, often contagious in nature.
Shaving the clouds: Putting great effort into perfecting something ephemeral or ultimately unchangeable; elegant futility.

Expandword
My new word "expandword" is taking an acronym or shortened word and making it phonetic or clear, thereby longer used mainly when sounding like speaking or quoting someone speaking, not to reduce document efficiency.
For example:
Teevee for TV
Ellellem is expanded from LLM
Peesee is expanded from PC
Effbee Eye (space needed due to vowel crunching) from FBI
Fuhtuhwuh for FTW
Ellellsee is expanded from LLC
AyEye is a.i.
Birb for brb
Jaypee Morgan instead of J.P. Morgan
Kayeffsee for those who like buckets of chicken
If clarity is needed, capitalization can be included like: TeeVee, but would be like accent notation in French, take it or leave it.
Have fun coming up with more if you like! I don't know what I'm going to use my garbage Aegelish dictionary for, but it's self-entertaining at the very least.
