Recently, The Style Invitational weekly humor contest of The Washington Post invited entrants to coin "the millionth word" in the English language (yeah, someone's counting). It had to end in -ion. Here are my entries:
derriaeration -- flatulence.
orgasanation -- a group of very excited individuals; highly motivated team.
anorerection -- loss of appetite for, um, excitement.
zodiaction -- action taken after reading one's daily horoscope.
antipastion -- place to wait before being served at Italian restaurant.
decolletagion -- infectious competition to see who has the most revealing plunging neckline (occurs during awards shows).
sacramention -- something you swore you would never tell.
camisolution -- method by which a woman changes a man's mind.
commation -- disturbance or confusion owing to a misplaced or misused comma.
commoanication -- expression of pain, complaint, or lament.
incognation -- a country blinded by ignorance.
lameantation -- regret over what one meant to say.
fruction -- the fruits of sucking up to someone.
We'll see which ones, if any, find ink in The Washington Post.
