Fictionary

I just learned a wonderful new word: fictionary. This is an imaginary compendium of made up words. Where would you find the meaning of the word tenawesome? Why, in the fictionary of course. Don't want to appear stupid when someone mentions taking a staycation? By consulting the fictionary, you'll discover that this is when you can't afford to go anywhere on your days off. Yes, the fictionary is a completely cromulent resource that will enrich your life.

I hate the word "staycation." I also heard someone use the term "reno" instead of "renovation." This made me livid. And now that person is on a permanent staycation.

Now I'll agree with you there. There's nothing clever at all about saying half a word because you're too lazy to say the whole thing. Becoming livid is the appropriate response to that.

Staycation may be stupid (ok, it is and I would never actually use it), but at least it's somewhat clever.
