Name that word

[slb2]

gailkate made up a new word recently. That's something I love to do, too. Sometimes I make up a new word and use it as if everyone else has heard of it, too, forgetting that I made it up.

So, anyone else do this? And tell us your word.

motate: a variance of motivate and move.

"Let's motate over to the library." said after sitting in dorm room starring at candles as they burn.

_{Yes, this really happened.}

I have run across this quite a few time by published authors. I like the license it offers.

I do that sort of thing "all the time," taking perfectly good words and expanding them with suffixes to sound more highfalutin'. Unfortunate, I am unable to recollectify any prior examples at this momentariousness.

e-dress for e-mail address

That's probably a more useful meaning for it than "cyberclothing," whatever that might be.
