Years ago I used to an active memeber in a Religion debate chat room.
Long before anyone else said it, I came up with ““Joe” has obviously mistaken his ass for a hat… how sad!” Now “Ass Hat” is a common enough derogatory phrase… But as far as I know I said it first (1994-ish).
Another time some one was going on about how they had to witness for their faith door to door. I called them a proslytute.
How about you? Come up with any neologisms?

I accuse my son of having PPC when he has a clumsy attack - it stands for piss poor coordination. I coined it - and now our circle of friends has adopted it. Ergh - that sounds mean, but it refers to the growth spates 10 - 13 year olds go through, when all of a sudden their arms are an inch longer than yesterday and to grab for something guarantees they’ll knock it over. Also applies to those who have had far too much cheer to walk upright.
It’s in very limited circulation, but if you ever hear a beer judge talk about a beer’s “sticktion,” that’s me. Made up word designed as a prank on a pita newbie, and it caught on, at least among SoCal BJCP people.
Not me, but my 3 yo daughter. Things or people that she likes are “kindable”.
I use "un-nice’ all the time. There is no other word that conveys what I mean but that one.
I once was talking to a friend of mine, where I told him, “Pete, for you I’m going to coin a new term. You’re part hosehead, part dirtbag–thus, you Sir, are a complete ‘hosebag’.”
To my knowledge, I’m the only one using this term.

That’s all I got.
My brother refers to the female nether-regions as a “banooch”. It’s Jay and Silent Bob enough that it’s stuck with me.
Years ago I came up with a word for a senior citizens’ home: Fossilarium. And American Indians are aboriginals, so they are Amerigines.
A while back I used a phrase here on the Dope (in a Pit thread, of all places) - to describe myself: lazier than an orgy of sloths.
I keep hoping to get it more use out in the real world. It’s a little more PC than the other, unintentional phrase: penis ensues. Granted, not much more, but I could put it on a T-shirt and only offend me grandmother.
I think the expression is older than that – although I can’t swear to it, there is supposed to be a line in “Raising Arizona” (1987) – “Anyone found bipedal in five, wears his ass for a hat.” And as a way of saying “has his head up his ass”, it might be older than that.
Ass hat: City Slickers, 1991:

My definition is the first one (obviously, or else I wouldn’t be able to take credit for it). It has a typo in it. Unsurprisingly, I was drunk when I wrote it.
I’m still pushing for the term clogger for the asshat who drives slowly in the fast lane. Help me out, people!
“Sticktion” been used for years in engineering/industrial circles for years to describe friction present in a motion mechanism. i.e. “This slide doesn’t move very freely. It feels like there’s some sticktion in the bearings”.
Recently, I was on the phone with my sister who was traveling in Indiana to visit the folks. There had been some unexpected complications during her trip, but she was almost there.
While telling me about a little produce stand where she had picked up some sweet corn and tomatoes, she was trying to give me a location so that I could stop there the next time I was up. It finally came down to being located down the road from Normal, IN. Now, anything that isn’t just right is “a little south of Normal.”
“Crackulous”. It’s an adjective used to describe an idea so uniquely bizarre and/or devoid of logical reason, that one suspects crack cocaine (or a similar substance) must have been involved at some point in its creation. I’ve since seen the phrase “crack-tastic” used in a similar fashion, but mine flows better and does not require hyphenation.
Example: "The new art museum downtown is clearly crackulous in design."
My second is more a redefinition of an existing word than a new invention, but I use the word “copulated” to mean “fucked over by the police”.
Example: “Joe got copulated at the hidden No Left Turn sign next to the mall.”
Years ago a group of us went to an arboretum. As we were driving through it, we passed a sign that read “Native Trees” (I presume to distinguish them from trees that had been deliberately planted. I immediately asked if that meant they were “arborigenes”.
Amazingly enough, they let me live.
The ones I claim are fairly obvious, and so have been coined by multiple parties. But each of these I used before hearing it elsewhere.
In the early days of the internets: eddress for the clunkier e-mail address
“Beerable” to denote any situation that can be endured reasonably well as long as one is provided 2 beers.
and “Re-starter home”, to describe the domicile a recently single man can afford after being cleaned out in the divorce.
Ooh, ooh, I have one!
Ragetarded: When one is so furious as to be incapable of rational thought. “If she cheats on you again, Bob, you’re going to get all ragetarded and burn her house down.”
Maybe in that sense, but hosebag (as defined in the first couple of entries on the linked page) has been around since at least the late 1970’s. I was in college then, and one girl who was known as a hosebag also got tagged with the moniker “Ho Derek” when she began to wear her hair in cornrows, a la Bo Derek in 10. The “Ho” was simply short for “hosebag” – we didn’t have the more modern diminutive of whore in mind.
I refer to a nap as “watching the Eyelid Show”.
Very good!
Mine:the dames in Zellers/Walmart who, to charitably describe it, have borne more children than they are able to manage while out, who at some point will either scream obscenities at one of the kids, or at the store employee who timidly requests that said kid quits opening every Cheeto bags on the endcap: Lumpenshrews.
