I was just looking at the Merriam Webster website. They have an open dictionary section where you can submit your own words with definitions. Here are a few I liked:
chillax
(verb) : to chill out or relax
Will you just chillax! I'm trying to think!

blabbiate (verb) : to speak or write inanely and endlessly
As they sat around the campfire, Mark continued to blabbiate about current events. (TRUE STORY, I made up the word this past Memorial Holiday when he said he doesn't "bloviate".)

I've been using upscalator for years!! Someone beat me to it??
I like the word "suspish"...I find ways to work it into every 3rd conversation.
Chiver. Half chill, half shiver. What happens when you sit on a cold toilet seat.
shivver? How do you spell that?
Okay, I just lost my comment but what I said was...
I always make up my own words and uses for them but now that you're asking for them I can't think of ONE of them. Oh well.
Yeah, I've got some words for you...
How funny!I can't think of any words off hand.
Upscalator is awesome.
My personal favorite is "sneatin'", eating so fast that it sounds like you're snoring. My kids do it all the time;)
I use kewl a lot not that is anything new just spelled differently. BTW my blog moved :P I am now at http://blayze.wordyblog.com
I subscribe to their Word Of The Day but did not know about this open dictionary. I love it! Canniversary is a great word. It's your divorce anniversary when you canned your ex. My canniversary was 1975 and I didn't find Mr. Right until 1999. He was worth the wait. Aren't you glad Sprinkle is back!
I am a lexicon of made up words.
PhurgyPnag - (Fur - gee - pnag) - Anything nasty or bad often used in place of an "F" bomb.
Blogtastics - My blog readers
Nothing really - still trying to work out what "poutshout" is - the word Audrey created a while back!
I like underbrella, it makes more sense than umbrella because you stand under it.
Oh and I also call the microwave the michaelwave. I'm always getting my worms wrong!
I heard that "bootylicious" was recently added to the unabridged dictionary. hehe
