Polonius: What do you read, my lord? Hamlet: Words. Words. Words.

Shakespeare did it many times, from "eyeball" to "wormhole." My own personal hero, Hayao Miyasaki, did it with "Ponyo," the name of the title character in his movie, Gake no ue no Ponyo (2008). And I did it with "ideaseased."
My proposal is this: make up your own word. Now it's only a matter of time until Merriam-Webster makes it official.
