Have you ever made up your own word or phrase?

During my teenage years, if someone was acting dumb or a fool I would call them a "wogan". No idea why or where that came from but sometimes it would be "woganator". I would also call people "mandinga" but I stole that from Ace Ventura. When I was working at a group home in my early 20s, I shared this with one of the residents which he thought was quite humorous and started saying it himself. Somehow those two words combined into "woganate the mandinga" during this time. I still have no idea what that means.

For a while I was calling the watery buildup inside ketchup and mustard bottles "squirf". If I didn't shake the bottle properly before squeezing some onto my food, I'd say that I "squirfed" all over it.

I've since learned to always give the bottle a good shake before using so I no longer squirf myself. No need to use the word for a non-existent problem

When I go food shopping, I never forget to pick up some good "Snackages."

No but I sometimes throw the word "spatula" around venomously.
Mandinga is a word; it has another meaning among Afro-Cubans.
@bijouxbroussard sinade oconnor wrote a song about it
