~Ha, I do this a lot! Of course my family looks at me like I'm slightly cracked, but shoossh-ala-banger, who isn't slightly cracked in some way these days? *wink*~
Gotta made up word of your own? I'd love to hear it. :)
**Though it did not come into English usage until the late 1800s, neoterism originally comes from the Greek word neōterismós which meant "an attempt to change." ~~info found at Dictionary.com
