    But we could start one, many new words are added to the dictionary each year, some one person starts it, it catches on and there you go.

    It could be classed as a portmanteau word. Lewis Carrol was famous for creating nonsensical words in his poetry. What is galumphing? 'Galumphing' probably means galloping in a clumsy way.

    There are of course genuine portmanteau words such as smog- smoke+ fog.

    Portmanteau is a portmanteau word.
