I was rummaging through about sixty hundred thousand slips of paper, notes, matchbooks, looking for a quote (I found it) when I stumbled on a pice of paper with these words which I think I may have coined (allegedly)
Aquarunning© = using weights to run in place while submerged to neck in water.
Graphotherapy© = getting rid of stress/anger by writing it all down then tearing up the paper.
and my very favorite :
Anticipointment © = disappointment caused when something anticipated doesn't materialize.
OK, I am open to comment.
Have at it.

And "postpointment" could be your reaction after seeing lousy movie.

There you go bursting my pretty baloons again my Keeper of the Thyrsus. Sheeeesh!
Ok, I am not disappointed about two words but since my Favorite "anticipointment" was on a slip of paper dated 1988, and the link gave no date of first use .... well !
Or "Oh,well." as the case may be. Sigh.

No thanks. I prefer my happy state of ignorant bliss. That word is mine, mine, mine, you hear me? Mine!
So there,too. (strewing flowers in my own path I go off in delightful unconcern ignoring all who disagree) no offence, Faldage! -- I am just in a mood. It's bloody snowing AGAIN!

wow, I'll give you anticipointment fer shure....not knowing anything about it! but I am feeling some anticipointment at the moment, having hoped to hear from someone I emailed late last night - and he hasn't written or phoned....yet. Damn this anticipointment!  Edit, same evening: Ahhh. Anticipointment no more. Finally had an email from him. Hurrah! So...wait a minute. Seeing as I finally did hear from him, does this mean that what I was feeling before doesn't count as anticipointment? because it didn't last?

I made one as a typo the other day, and I really think it ought to mean something: nowever.

I like it! The definition should oughta be interesting. Maybe we need a Hogwash® type contest to define it. Definitions will be accepted by PM for the traditional sennight.

And what, pray tell, is the non-traditional sennight?

Wow - you really know how to terrify someone, don't you? Just the idea of being on the same conntinent as my mother is enough to have me screaming in a cold sweat of fear. I promise I'll behave, just don't make me live on that side of the Tasman.

Just for the record, I imagine the non-traditional sennight is whatever period of time it pleases tsuwm to pull together any given step of Hogwash®.

Thank you. And may I assure you, though some may indicate otherwise, there is no malice of conspiratorial aforethought here.   etc :)

"Anticipointment" sounds like the anticipation of disappointment, like the feeling I get before most movies.

No No dear one!
It's like - well- a friend makes a date with you and you anticipated having a fun evening then the date is cancelled.
You had anticipated a good evening and been disappointed because of the cancellation.
So it would work with your movie example but only if you'd anticipated a good movie!
