Confessions of a Neologue

Do you get annoyed when people correct you for being "logy?" Eggcorns and emordnilap are the Scylla and Charybdis of language. Otto is a palindrome but dog is an emordnilap with god coming out in the laundry. Perhaps you’re a neologue which itself  is a neologism and you look at language as clay. You like to mold it, glaze it and place it in the kiln—something that the language police who by the way write out tickets for pronoun violations. Btw speaking of clay, the German love for compound words can be addictive. Vergangenheitsbewatigung is the burden of the past, but what happens when some clown comes forth with Vergangenbangheit, a concoction that may run into trouble for two reasons A) the word doesn’t exist and B) the joke contains an unlawful association which can result in excommunication from the church lexicography and anagrammatic organizations like PEN. Remember Clockwork Orange and Nadset, the invented language used by the "droogs" and derived from the Russian suffix meaning "teen?"
