A friend of mine inadvertently coined a wonderful new term when she wrote me about her holiday activities. She's in the midst of a massive organization of all her "stuff" & said it's a major "clearning" job - a portmanteau of cleaning & clearing. It'll find a lot of use in my vocabulary.

I like it. Once I do some serious clearning of the garage today, I'll take all that old horse tack out to the sharn.

I'll do my best. But, having no background in lexicology, I'd feel like such a phoncoinist.

Clearning - like the word but hate the activity.

I bet my wife; before months' end, I could get the Gratetsuwm to use her word 'sharn' in a sentence.
That was way too easy.
I think I'll have my breakfast- in- bed prize out in the sharn with Elzibar's Magnum, Buttermilk, and Hokey................. our new rooster. Wiki, Wiki, Wiki!!
