I believe the word being referenced was "neologisms." (Former Linguistics major and current fifty-cent-word geek, right here...)

Well shoot. I didn't even consider neologisms because I thought that was obvious.

Don't you mean unacceptablatory? Only nounisms end in -tion.

If I had meant unacceptablatory I would have said unacceptablatory. Clearly, you're not up to speed on recent adjustions to adjectivity transitivitalism. Hers was an obvious case of unacceptablation.

Obliviously it's neologisms.

Apologments accepted. I know it's tough to stay currentic in today's ever-evolvanizing vernacular climate. I would've used acceptablatory too if I hadn't just read something online about acceptablation. Easy mistake to make. 'tsall good.

Thanks. I am remindated of one of my favorish Calvin and Hobbes cartoonations:
Only now, of course, Hobbes would say "Maybe we can eventuallistically make languagism a completish impendimentation to understandment."
