Neologisms

I have thought of a new hobby.
Inventing new words.
These are my first attempts


Perplix (n).
A strange feeling when observing something incongruous giving a strange sensation in the stomach area while also making your head tilt imperceptibly to one side. Such as when observing a man clearly approaching a century of age in the high street wearing a designer Nike tracksuit.

Smutt (n).
A feeling of guilt that you get when you enter a shop holding your sunglasses and you wonder if the shop assistant is going to think you pinched them when you walk out again.

Pilth (n).
A flat feeling of indignation when shopping for personalised gifts such as key fobs, bookmarks and pens when you discover your name isn’t there.
