Not sure if I've reinvented the wheel or not, just a couple I think I made up.

Suboptical - too small to be seen with the naked eye. From trying to explain to someone that they should quit trying to see the pits on a CD.

Bedslug - someone who crawls to the edge of bed without using their legs. Used to be drunk college friends or more recently my labrador (hind legs) when ordered off my bed.

Already been done, like my product ideas usually turn out? Or new? Use them if you like, share any you've made up. Topic is almost certainly a repost, but since the search doesn't like me and I don't see it in the past few pages....

My best friend and I came up with our own language where we combined the first syllable of one word and the last of the second word. We called the language "Trunc," short for truncation. We were like twins me mate and I.
