I have, twice that I can remember.

  • Nukamajig - microwave. I still use it from time to time because it’s too stupid not to.
  • Miscombobulate - mixup and confuse. Just now, between the time it was and when the appartment building’s laundry room was closed for the night.

    When I was young there was a book of words made up by people where words didn’t exist. Close to what OP was saying. They were called Snigglets. I remember a few.

    1. Downpause-the interruption of rain when you drive under a bridge.

    2. Ignosecond- the tiny interval of time, for instance, between closing the car door and while it is in motion, remembering the key is inside.

    3. PRNDL - pronounced prendle, the stock in the middle of the car it on the steering column that switches between drive modes.

    And one I made up:

    1. Blurble - when a liquid is being poured into a container and at some point a drop jumps out of the container and into your eye or some other inconvenient place. Also, when you are drinking and the liquid level in the container reaches that critical point where when the drink is returned to a level position causes a drop to blurble out of the cup. And finally that sound a liquid makes when it comes out of a 2 liter bottle.
