Made-up words

Tonight I heard three different made-up words used on TV as if they were real words: “efforting” as a verb, “protectify” being cute in a commercial (I guess), and “upliftment” (I don’t remember the context).  What’s going on?  Also, I just saw a shirt with this slogan on it:  “Irony:  the opposite of wrinkly.”  Haha, ok I actually like that.  But not on a Tshirt.

Chug chugging to the end of the term…it’s in sight!

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
