Neologisms for the New Millennium

Authors

Ove Michaelsen

Abstract

My friend Lois Fischer refers to a one-sided conversation as a unisation. Another friend once suggested that affluential describes influence obtained by affluence. The filling of a book by negative reviews or poor promotion could be referred to as bibliocide. Comedic suicide could be called self-induced comicide. The act of home-wrecking could be a case of domicide.
