Re: Have you ever made up a word that caught on?
When I was in kindergarden, we had phonics class and we learned what a diphthong was. I thought it was a funny word so I kept calling people a diphthong. I used it for a good couple years...
Then about 10 years later, I heard it used in a movie. Not saying I started it, but I know no one else that I knew of ever used it before I started.
