A case of severe backblogarrythmia

My backblog is giving me the irits. And what's worse I join the sad club of people who thought they cleverly invented a new word!

Backblog - Overflow of incidents you intend to write about on your weblog.

However, perhaps I can claim backblogarrythmia as my own:

.. a disruption in the regular flow of weblog posts, often caused by overwork, booze or a new romance. Primary symptom is the backblog, which in turn can exacerbate the problem through increased levels of performance stress. Treatment: JFPS*.

I used to work in a factory where I swear one of the leading hands had a personal goal of inventing a new word everyday. He'd casually call over something like "Hey, pass me the gumlicker would ya?" and take great pleasure in our confusion. He'd be mock-shocked of course at our "ignorance", and delight in explaining the word and how stupid we were for not knowing it. Crazy thing is, he'd always have a great and usually convoluted etymology.

He did this pretty much every day I knew him. Just an average working class bloke, with an average education. But I always secretly admired and envied his creativity with words, wondered where the inspiration came from, and whether he'd use the gift for anything more than keeping his workmates from boredom.

Me? The only words I invent tend to arrive as serendipitous typos. Yesterday's effort:

Museover - particularly thought-provoking and succinct tip or pop-up text that is displayed when you hover your mouse over an icon or word.

恭喜发财!

Update 27-Jan: It's official: museover and backblogarrythmia are in the (pseudo)dictionary
