I recently wrote the following sentence: She came tritzing in from a meeting.
I knew exactly what I meant. Tritz is a word that combines tripping and waltzing. The person I sent it to said, "Huh???" I can't find it in any dictionary, and I can only recall it as a word I learned from my parents.
Can anyone verify this as a word? I'm totally stumped on it.

Sorry, Dear, but despite its obvious derivations, I do believe that one came from just you.

The word exists! You will find it in the E.G.G Unabridged. I found it there. The word means pretty much what you think it does. That's an obliging kind of a dictionary IYKWIM ....

It is the one put together by the one they couldn't put together again!
