A lot of us use words that are not real, even though they SHOULD be. Well, hey, if the Oxford English Dictionary can make "noob" an official word (also, remember that at one time "ain't wasn't an official word either), then maybe there's hope that our favorite words can become official. Here are a two of mine.

Assholery: The act of being an "asshole"

Ju-Ju Box: A remote control for a TV, Radio or DVD player

What are yours?

Well ain't isn't actually a word, it's a contraction, but I see your point. ;D

And yes, gazongas is an awesome word!

Mahoosive is another one. :3

I don't think "sarcast" (a person who is either being sarcastic or is known for being so) is technically a word, but I think it should be.

In a similar vein, "asshattery" and "douchebaggery."

I was reading a book and it had a word from another language. It was essentially a combination of "I will" and "I may". Sounds parodoxical but the context was instead of "I will go to your performance" which is a strong promise or "I may go to your performance" is which seems undecided, it would be like saying "My intention is to go to your performance but the outcome is uncertain". Basically this would allow you to say that you'd try to do something to the best of your abilities but acknowledges that it may not be possible.

I want a word like this.

"Strategery"

I know it's a word that was made to mock Bush's tendency to mispronounce stuff, but that is seriously a fun word to say. Strategery. Mmmm.

Oh, and also "Bazinga".

Klunge. It sounds like exactly what it is. Non-Brits, google "The Inbetweeners" to be educated...

"Cromulent" and "Embiggens" because I love the Simpsons.

In that case I'd use the word "Intend". "I intend to go to your performance" seems to fit the bill. It clearly shows your intent, but is not predictive as it is present tense.
