Word spy.
43 folders recently reminded me about wordspy.com, a dictionary of neologisms selected based on their frequent appearance in newspapers, magazines, and other recorded sources (cf.a "stunt word", which is "a nonce word coined just to show off"). I hadn't checked it in a while, and there were some additions I hadn't seen before. Some of my favorites include:
- bozon (BOH.zawn) (noun): A whimsical unit of stupidity and cluelessness.
- mucus trooper (MYOO.kus troo.pur) (noun): An employee with a cold or the flu who insists on showing up for work.
