Have you ever made up a word that caught on?

I made a thread about this a while ago. My friend told me he made up the term "bronson" for beer. We said it a lot when we were out at shows. A year or so later we are at a party in Massachusetts, and some kids in a similar scene were tossing around Bronson like it was normal. That's about it.

I said trajesty accidentally once (I think I'm dyslexic). I still use it from time to time.

can I just voice the frustration that anyone feels when one introduces a concept that is so blatantly so esoteric that no one will understand it withou an apt description being provided? ( diphthong ) ( esoteric )

no, I've never been able to make one of these.

Also, "Bush" as a swear word, neologized (boooom that has to be another one) late 1988, when I was 4. My 3 year old sister caught on, but it didn't save here from getting paddled by my grandfather when she said it because it sounded so much like "bull$hit."
