Anna thank you most kindly for that link, I have placed it amongst my Faves
However, I have had to take a time out from my collection because they come too fast, while it sometmes takes over an hour to research and satisfactorily define a new word. Since there have to be tens of thousands that might qualify and I'm an old fart at 76...
However, if I decide to quit altogether, I'm wondering what to do with 5600 entries. Any suggestions appreciated

"Internet chatters and online gamers have cromulated words such as leet, roxor, woot, and the result of this cromulation has caused confusion to many. However, to the cromulators, these cromulates are perfectly intelligible."

I suppose my idea of a neologism is less inclusive than the compiler(s) of that list. I would not call literary references like "Banquo" or "Calvinball" to be neologisms; they are figurative uses of existing words.
