When a character tries to be cool by "enhancitizing" his speech patterns with what he thinks are Perfectly Cromulent Words or phrases. Can be used to show that a character is dorky and self-absorbed; also a common characteristic of Cloudcuckoolanders and characters with mental disorders: in this case, it is a type of Cloudcuckoolanguage, and may overlap with Talkative Loon. It may result in a character speaking entirely in a language of his/her own invention. The same characters will often sprinkle in Gratuitous Foreign Language alongside their own glossarizzle, often horribly-pronounced. Compare Delusions of Eloquence, Forced Meme, Malaproper, Personal Dictionary, and You Keep Using That Word. |

Homer Simpson has a tendency for oddly pronouncing words in The Simpsons. Some may originate from his low vocabulary, but other times he just seems to have an eccentric dialect. And in another episode: |

Tales of Pirx the Pilot: while the man's not an "on-screen" character, in one story Pirx reminisces about a professor who had a tendency to do that. To prepare for an exam, Pirx dug up and memorized all the silly neologisms the man unsuccessfully tried to push through to get into his good graces. It worked. | |

Penny Arcade: This Penny Arcade comic shows that Neologizing and Advertising practically goes hand in hand. Behold, the N-air-G! Containing Guaranama and Balinko! Still on the topic of Penny Arcade, the entirety of the Catsby and Twisp comics is composed of this kind of language. |

Calvin and Hobbes: In one strip, Calvin tells his dad that since the meanings of words are arbitrary, he can intentionally make dialogue unintelligible to others by replacing words with other random words. Of course, Calvin's dad knows this isn't exactly a new idea... | |

In The Dresden Files book Summer Knight, Harry refers to a creature as a "chlorofiend" mostly because he doesn't want to have to say "plant monster". It doesn't work out for him; every time he uses it his friends ask "What's a chlorofiend?", then after he explains they tell him he should have just said "plant monster" in the first place. | |

Homestuck has a number of insane words; "Appearifier", "Sendificator", "Transportalizer", and so on. It will never call something a "Teleporter" or a "Portal" when it can call it a "Escapilizer" or a "Transmaterializer" instead (and that's not listing other objects or concepts, like cruxtruders or ectobiology). There's also Karkat, who tends to invent insults by smushing together words, although most of his examples are distinctly not work safe. | |

Robin in Shortpacked! expresses her dislike for things by saying they're "totally babies" (or, if it's really bad, "it's so babies, it's babies Macintyre!"), despite Ultra-Car telling her that this won't become a thing, however much she says it. It catches on among Shortpacked fans, but not so much in the strip itself. | |

A staple of Homestar Runner, where the various made-up talkwords for saying from your mouth show up in almost every cartoon, usually from resident wannabe-badass Strong Bad because he thinks they sound cooler. The Strong Bad Email "dictionary" has Strong Bad inspired to compile his made-up words into "Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words". The Homestar Runner Wiki even has an extensive list of neologisms coined by the characters. | |

Stampy's Lovely World: Stampy himself makes up quite a few words (e.g. 'googlies' for monsters/hostile mobs and 'Lovely Jubbly Love-Love Petals' for poppies, formerly roses), partially to keep his speech child-friendly and partially because he enjoys it. | |

Gus from Drop the Dead Donkey spoke like this almost to the point of unintelligibility as part of his "management speak". The character was a parody of all the phrase-coining 90s managers who seemed to believe making up new expressions would change the workplace. Sadly for Gus, it never worked. | |
