Watching a vid on 'mountain talk', namely Appalachia/NC hill people and their Scotch-Irish regionalisms.
"airish": a bit chilly; might need a sweater...
I like it.

Nut, most of those are to be found in Patrick O’Brian’s books.
One from his The Mauritius Command:
obnubilate.
It was used in the sense that one obnubilates the brain with
various distillates or other less than salubrious derivations.

Yeah, okay, there are plenty of real words new to any of us. So what? The real challenge is making up new words.
Of course, anyone can make up any word to mean anything, but there is a special challenge in the idea of taking an existing word, adding, changing, or deleting one letter, to make a new word.
Of course, you have to add the definition, and it has to make sense. It's an old game, and you can probably find it on the web, but my favorite has always been:
Reintarnation -- coming back as a hillbilly.
I've made up a few myself. For example:
Punishmint -- a peppermint candy with bits of broken glass in it.
Have at it.

who knew ... shambolic in no way refers to shambala?
chaotic, disorganized, muddled, confused, in disarray,
in total disarray, at sixes and sevens, unsystematic, haphazard,
hit-or-miss, scrappy, fragmented, inefficient.
all over the place. all over the shop.
