Hello everyone,
Inspired by (yet another) rerun of the 'Washington Post Neologisms' email, I made up some neologisms (technically, protologisms) last week.
facsimule (n) : The guy at work who sits closest to the fax machine and therefore runs your fax errands.
(He’s the one who’s constantly asked (on the phone) : “Hey buddy, could you check if there’s a fax for me?” OR “Is the fax machine working?”)
More here, on my blog :
