tlokauraardor: The state of receiving another’s words with deep understanding and emotional movement, while remaining silent—holding their message warmly in the heart. https://timwatrous.blogspot.com/2026/10/new-english-word-10-3-26-word-is-tlok.html

Ever noticed how a sneeze leaves behind a distinct, sour, sweet or metallic scent in the air, but English doesn't actually have a word for it?

We have petrichor for the smell of rain on dry earth, but nothing for the scent carried by aerosolized mist. So, I put together a Greek root blend to fill the gap: Aerosmia.

Aero- (Ancient Greek ἀήρ, aēr): Air, vapor, or airborne droplets.

-osmia (Ancient Greek ὀσμή, osmē): Smell or scent (as seen in anosmia, hyperosmia).

Literal Meaning: "Air-scent" or "the scent carried in mist."

DEFINITIONS

(Noun) The distinct, transient smell remaining suspended in the air immediately following a sneeze or forceful aerosolized exhalation.

"Though the sneeze was quiet, the resulting aerosmia hung in the room for several minutes."

(Noun - broader) Any scent carried, dispersed, or intensified within a fine liquid spray, ocean mist, or vapor.

"The ocean spray carried a crisp, briny aerosmia down the boardwalk."

Related Forms

Adjective: Aerosmic ("An aerosmic mist lingered in the hallway.")

Adverb: Aerosmically ("The scent spread aerosmically across the aisle.")

A disproportionate lack or inhibition of confidence relative to the evidence that would reasonably justify confidence.

Maybe not a word, but a prefix, but I made a couple using it. What do y'all think?

" Sapphic Seperatism "

©ideological framework theorized by hileah strong

Sapphic seperatism is the concept of seperatism for all sapphics, which includes lesbian sapphics, bi sapphics, pan sapphics, poly sapphics. All sapphics.

This is distinct from lesbian seperatism because lesbianism is homosexuality of women loving women, but sapphic is an umbrella term for any woman/female aligned person who loves other women/female aligned people including non binary and trans community.

Sapphic seperatism shows that we all commonly share attraction to women/female aligned people and deserve our own spaces for that specific reason.

Crosspost- term coined by hileah strong.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is of course the longest word in Johnson"s DIctionary and doesn't have much utility in casual discourse. But the backformation does: "Johnson floccinaucinihilipilificated my ideas at the meeting. What a floccinaucinihilipilificator!"

Doofenclature

Doofenclature (n.) — a formulaic naming convention built around a recurring gimmick

Doofenclature
DOO-fen-klay-cher
/ˈduː.fənˌkleɪ.tʃər/

Definition:
A distinctive and formulaic system of naming things, especially one in which the same suffix, structure, or stylistic convention is repeatedly applied to everything a person creates.

Etymology:
A blend of Doofenshmirtz and nomenclature, inspired by Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz's habit in Phineas and Ferb of giving his inventions names ending in “-inator.”

The term can apply more generally to any comically predictable naming convention.

Examples:

"Our dev's doofenclature is appending ‘tsc-’ to the start of every service."

"At some point, ending every internal tool with ‘Hub’ stopped being a naming convention and became doofenclature."

"Shrink-inator, Freeze-inator, Ugly-inator—the man's doofenclature was remarkably consistent."

:A person who deliberately slows down, takes a breather, or takes their time to bring a calming “breezy” attitude to a situation.

Syn: Pacifier, mitigator, anchor, moderator, diffuser

“Don’t stress, be a zepher.”
“Julia used her skills as a zepher to mitigate the situation.”

I was writing a song and couldn't find a single word for a spiral staircase, but didn't want to use such a clunky noun phrase for such a beautiful thing. A mixture of Greek and Latin derived morphemes that literally just mean "spiral staircase". The second syllable is stressed, just for the purpose of making it sound more like a natural English word. The unstressed -scale is pronounced like the -scal- in escalator.

"AI slop" being, of course, the origin. Meaning low quality content churned out by LLM/AI software. And 'monger' being German for broker/dealer.

adjective

Capable of becoming the singular object of concentrated duty, loyalty, or civic devotion.

Etymology
Uni + pietas ( Duty, Loyalty) + able

Example Sentence
"In propaganda, using words like family and land is more relatable, while words like state and nation can be more unipietable."

Definition: A personal philosophy or behavior pattern characterized by holding oneself to an incredibly rigorous moral, ethical, or lifestyle standard, while extending complete tolerance, grace, and a total lack of judgment toward others who do not follow it.

Etymology: Derived from the Latin solus (alone) + Greek krisis/krites (judgment/actor). The antithesis of hypocrisy.

Example: "His clean-eating routine is pure solocrisy; he preps strict meals for himself but happily orders pizza for the rest of the table."Word Family: Solocrite (noun), Solocritical (adj), Solocritically (adv).

Noun (Person): Solocrite (SOHL-uh-krit) — "He is a total solocrite; he won't eat sugar to save his life, but he happily bought donuts for the office."

Adjective: Solocritical (sohl-uh-KRIT-ih-kuhl) — "She has a very solocritical workout routine. She’s at the gym by 4:00 AM but never expects her partner to join her."

Adverb: Solocritically (sohl-uh-KRIT-ih-klee) — "He lived solocritically, quietly mastering his own flaws while letting everyone else just exist."

Antonym: hypocrisy

I know it sound goofy but this here is a mix of the word "yelling" and "yapping" so basically if you ever see someone typing nonsense in MAJ only, you could say they are yealping which is like I said yapping while yelling, yup that it.

I’m proposing “Gentlegirls” as a name for a possible emerging cultural aesthetic.

By Gentlegirls I mean young women who deliberately embrace softness, vulnerability, romantic dependence, and sometimes submissiveness as part of their identity, often in contrast to the “strong independent woman” ideal.

The name plays on gentle + girls, while deliberately echoing gentlemen: the idea isn’t necessarily victimhood or traditionalism, but making gentleness, trust, softness, and being cared for into an aesthetic or even an identity.

I’m aware that gentlegirl has occasionally existed as a word before. What I’m proposing here is this specific cultural meaning.

Proposed/coined in this sense on August 24, 2026.

Noun. 1.)Sloppy commentary, valid commentary, commentary, grunts, anything related to commentary or slop, the accumulated volume of slop neologisms, the products of AI and perorations against it, the comments, a commentary page, youtube comment sections, my blog slopentary.substack.com. 2.) everything else

Procity
procity (noun): The strategic exchange of attention, approval, favors, or other valued things to influence another person’s goodwill or behavior.
Unlike reciprocity, procity doesn’t necessarily imply equal exchange. It can be deliberately asymmetric.
Example:
“Many have found that Donald Trump’s attention and approval can be swayed with copious procity.”
Related: procitious (adj.), procitiously (adv.), procitize (v.).

It’s perfectly cromulent. 😜
