Invent a word (also known as neologism)
Apparently this is an autistic thing. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1864825

Anyways:
1. Urbanality
(Urban+Banality)
... clich?, ordinary, boring happenings related to city-life.
ex. being pestered by bums in the street, getting pooped on by a pigeon... :P

2. Flanarchy
(Flan+Anarchy)
Anarchy by delicious means. This is my descriptor for the new wave of student activism through food-coop, free vegan meal serving; Especially pertaining to desserts.
 
A word I use mostly in my mind that I made up is "hackled." This is actually a real word, but not used in the sense I am using it in. When I use it I am referring to how dogs raise the hair on their backs when they are growling or when or smell a new thing. Sometimes things irritate me or make me defensive and then I think that I am "hackled," or that if I were a dog, than my hackles would be up.
 
<<apocalloptimism>> the phenomenon of paradoxical laughter that reveals itself after one has finally given-in to the all-consuming fatigue of apocalyptic fear-mongering and doom-worship only to awake to find oneself crippled by euphoric resiliency.

(i just found this in my Googledoc archives... I might have stolen it from somewhere)
 
When I found out about Aspergers, my assumption was that I was Aspergical?
Also, just now I wrote Spectrumans, and it was only when spell checker picked on it that I realized it isn't a word, its me saying humans on the spectrum in some weird shorthand of the mind.
 
Currently I'm feeling... Snarkoleptic. I'm sleepy and tired and I can't really imagine why that is...

Anyone curious about the origin on this... erm... wordsmithing;

Snark

Narcolepsy
 
Granky: when you wake up feeling kind of gross and in a bad mood. (Why is that words having to do with disgust/uncleanliness are the easiest for me to make up?)

I didn't actually make this one up, but I've only heard it used once a long time ago (I'll take credit for it if nobody else steps forward :P): hairdon't (a bad or unfortunate hairdo)

This is an exclamation I make when I am bothered by something, usually situational changes, or when someone does or says something that doesn't make sense.
Seesh-yuch (ch as in Achmed, not bunch.)
 
Corstorphiner - Corstorphine is a major well known suburb of my home city of Edinburgh so this word could be used to describe someone who lives there.:)
 
Antipytotisch - for when there are no words to describe how you feel (mostly used when feeling extremely 'Meh').
In a sentence: "I'm feeling antipytotisch today"

And one for the Dutch people: Twanderhalf - Twee en een half
 
Wow, I didn't know creativity could warrant such a research. those pricks :/

...anyways, brillig (one of my favorites and the only one I can think of right now) - refers to something brilliant, exceptional, or outstanding.
 
Snugglemuffin; has 2 meanings; 1) that warm, cosy feeling you get when cuddling someone you love and/or a teddy bear and 2) that warm, cosy feeling you get when eating hot, fresh baked muffins or cupcakes :P
