I am a brand new subscriber and just saw your invitation to share a neologism. One of the neologisms I am most proud of, and here I unabashedly presume to have made it up, is the word rodential. It is the word I use for my own mind, or some people would say "ego", when it flips into an insatiable scrambling and demanding for something it thinks its life depends on. It sounds like the mice in my walls, pointy little claws scratching and tapping up and down the mysterious tubes of all that interior plumbing in my brain. It happens more often than I want to admit, and so much less often than it once did that I fall on my knees in gratitude!
