Ok, it's official, Stuart Englander is hooked on made-up words.

Stuart joined us with some creative new words, including my favorite, Cuztree, just because I asked, and Amblicator, for the person who aren’t in a hurry.
Rebecca unofficially joined in the comments with Betooling, and Unreq. We await her article.
Betooling: Doing an independent project while taking free food from a tech company exceeding 1/60 of your dietUnreq (Unrequited worker): A person doing an independent project who has not received an olive-sized piece of food for their workBetooling and Unreq are concepts in Organic Recruitment: The unofficial HR department maintaining a work ladder for unofficial workers
Daniel coined Waitag, which I’m guilty of. Waitag is for the times when you’ve been prompted to respond to an article but leave them hanging for a long time
Uchechi shared the useful word Slurt, for the friend that cannot keep secrets and blurts them out.
James coined Powgry, a great word for power hungry.
Keno coined Aweshortsome for feeling awesome while selling yourself short just in case the other person does not think so.
Paroma shared Confoundium, the state of distraction brought on by multitasking.
Eashan shared the word Foodspire, to describe sweating while eating spicy food.
Eli coined Neglecticle for that forlorn article of clothing in your closet.
Timothy provided us with Dipnoodle, a G rated curse word.
Tree coined Classifried for fried food eaten in a classy restaurant.
