the worthless word for the day is: illeism


a nonce word of Coleridge





Several times I saw "a nonce word " used in various threads. Nonce means "ät present" in old Enlglish: fore the nonce: for now. Yet it looks like on this board it is used in a different way. "A nonce word of Coleridge" , you say in your post. Do you mean by that a non existing or a nonsense word? Or maybe a new word?
