There are some delicious words in the english language, every now and then one pops up that you really take a shine to. I recently came accross the word GRIMALKIN .... "A cat, especially an old female cat.
An old woman considered to be ill-tempered."
So, a new word for pussy eh!
What a delicious word, have you got any such words ?

sphex
[neologism] To act in a repetitive and futile or unproductive and unresponsive manner, especially when using a computer. (The canonical example: if you play 800 games of computer solitaire in a row, saying to yourself "I should really stop now" the whole time, you are sphexing.)
Hey you lot, STOP SPHEXING!
