Clorder is both a verb and a noun, connected to the accumulation of useful things in a car. If you have a tendency to clorder things, you might have a first aid kit, a water bottle, a bible or two, a change of clothes, your gym kit just in case you get the urge to exercise, a picnic chair or two, a blanket, a spare jacket..... amongst the clorder in your car.
No, no, I'm not describing my car at all, there's still a tiny bit of room in there if you need a lift.......

Gastromaufry
A humourously grandiose word used to describe bad cooking. The analagous word "gastromauf" describes a bad chef.
"The gastromauf at that new steak place specializes in leathery sirloin marinated in bargain-shelf wine."

Er...I do apologise for inventing an offensive word. On the law of averages a random collection of letters will eventually spontaneously create an inexcusably inappropriate word. (Monkeys and typewriters and all that). I humbly beg forgiveness from my fellow shipmates.

pliffitude:
An expression intended to dismiss something as trite or cliche, but which itself has become trite or cliche. Example...
"Complaining about 'Soccer Moms' is soooo late 90s!"
In the above sentence, the speaker has fallen into a pliffitude, because to say "Complaining about X Is So [whatever time period]" is now a cliche.
Someone else can do the next one.

A humourous homonym on the phrase "X is O", shouted by referees during Tic Tac Toe competitions to indicate that a player has mistakenly marked down the symbol assigned to his opponent, thus forfeiting that round. The phrase is used both when a X player marks an O, or vice versa.
An example from The American Journal Of Tic Tac Toe ...

Brilliant. I was in the right ballpark then - the BlackBerry thing was supposed to be a reference to using both thumbs.
