OP Most words coined and used within a family are best kept within the group of origin. Every family, I suspect, has a number of these: silly words, familiar to all the occupants of the house where they have currency, with a shared meaning to insiders and no or little meaning to outsiders.
We evolved a new one (new to us, anyway) at our house which I think might deserve a wider usage. When experimenting in the kitchen, some of the results are adequate, some are inedible, and some are what we term "guestworthy" -- in the sense that we will add them to the small collection of recipes which we deem presentable to visitors at our dining room table. A recipe has to be really good to fit into this category. We honour our guests my presenting them with only the best food we know how to prepare.
How do you like our coinage?
