Many fine writers have seen the need to create words to fit definitions that just don't have a word specific enough to truly express them. (William Shakespeare, Dr. Seuss...)

I'm bored. I propose this game - Let's list some very specific definitions of things we think deserve their very own word. You don't have to come up with the word (that's bonus points*), just the definition. For example -

Definition: "the real name of that thing in the back of the fridge, the one that's been there so long he's now leading the leftovers rebellion"

Definition: "overwhelming urge to bunnyhop sideways at 3 a.m. (affliction most commonly seen in kittens)"

Definition: "the weird kangaroo who can't help grabbing up nearby rocks and collecting them in her pouch" Word: "marscoopial"

Anyone else want to play?

*all points pointless and no one is actually keeping score

Okay, exciting I hope I understand the rules, so I will give it a try!

Definition: "The sound of an elastic band snapping." Word: "Elasnap"??

My jaws make that sound on a daily basis, but I never heard a word for it.

The sudden feeling of not quite anger that happens for no reason but is like a cosmic warning that something is really about to piss you off.

Definition: "The person whom you dislike, but at the same time like. Though, you do not have a neutral feeling about that person..." Word: "???" I cannot even think of something xD
