Liquid language: Bloggeries

I’ve been thinking about nelogisms, or new words. Language is fluid, always changing. Nowhere is this more true than in net lingo. Like the Sniglets of the 1980’s, new words and phrases are coined every day, and it’s a matter of time to see whether they stick around to be legitimized in the Merriam Webster or if they’re relegated only to the slang of a few admirers.

Someone on Twitter has thrown his hat into the ring. Bloggeries coined a fun plural noun, I think. What do you think of this word? Do your own bloggeries contain any new words coined by you?

    Hi Kimberley,

    Remember your eyes fell on MY word ‘Nostalgiate’??
