The creation of words

Word Spy

Came across a book called Wanted Words, that collated reader responses to create (if that is the word I want...) words for very common situations that do not have a word or term associated with them. Along these lines is Word Spy. From its description of itself: This Web site is devoted to lexpionage, the sleuthing of new words and phrases. These aren't "stunt words" or "sniglets," but new terms that have appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and other recorded sources.
