Words That Don't Exist But Should

Make up a word that sounds legit, then a meaning for it.

Example:
Pranicking - A joyful panic so intense, it causes the person to prance.

Twignorant - An ignorant twit
Snatter - Having a snide natter and gossip about someone
Panoranter - Someone who rants and raves about a wide variety of topics
Snurkle - To snorkle looking for turtles

Cracked

Bittysnick - to have a small laugh about something
Megasnick - to LOL

phycopath. n. a virus that infects algae.

I keep seeing it everywhere. Why isn't it a word yet? It's more sensible than referring to a virus that infects bacteria as a bacteriophage, and if it appears in dictionaries, there will be one less excuse to start talking about psychopaths without first learning to spell the word.

If we extend "exists" to include fantasy genre literature, I've actually seen "elfie" in Dragonlance novels

Hydropause - The sudden, momentary stop during a rain storm that occurs, driving your car on a highway when you pass under a bridge.
