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.

Oh, how humidifying. Someone already got it.

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."
