Guidelines for Inventing Words

New words are most effective when they:

Describe a situation, place, circumstance, or thing that does not have a word for it yet.

Are catchy, fun to say, or could easily become a trend.

Combine two current words, like brunch or motel.

Invent a Word

We all know the words swagger, critic, assassination, and bated breath. But did you know it was Shakespeare who invented these words along with 1700 others? Fill out this form with your idea of a new word with its definition and part of speech (noun, adjective, verb, etc) and we will put it on one of our T-shirts! If you'd rather do it yourself, there is a custom shirt option as well!
