I was reviewing a powerpoint presentation this morning, and saw a word I hadn't seen before, and that the spellchecker hadn't picked up.

We have decided it is a new word, and it describes perfectly how things are expected to get done round here. The word is:

automagically.

Anyone got any others?
 
Intralectrical.

Trying to figure the meaning. A pal of mine used to get his tongue in a twist when trying to use the word intellectual.... He has never lived it down!
 
One that I ferking hate is DISBENEFIT.

Don't know if that's a NR word, but I refuse to use it. :angry:
 
A colleague came up with this one -

'appsident', when you accidentally open the wrong app on a mobile
 
From Billy Connolly.................

"I invented my own swear words that I can say in front of my weans (wee-ones)...getifu is one. 'Hey you, getifu out of there!!' Bassa (*******) is another good one. Especially if you string it with getifu, 'Eh you, getifu ya bassa!!!"
 
Someone once told me that I had left them "on tenderhooks". Since they were obviously an idiot I decided to leave them there forever.
 
I still use the word "akerlator" which in little people terms means escalator
