English is a very flexible language. You are certainly free to make up your own words! That reminds me of one my favorite all-time quotes from literature: "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all.” ― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass In the same chapter, Alice recites the wonderful poem "Jabberwocky," which is a close relative to some of the threads on AN. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
