My Odd Lexicon

I don't think it's odd to have words or phrases that make sense to you, but to the untrained ear cause confusion or downright panic. I realized the other day after saying one of my everyday words that people outside my circle may think I'm a complete nutjob. Just because I have a special vocabulary doesn't mean I'm a fool. (Trust me, I'm a fool for much better reasons than the few words I've either made up or somehow maimed for my own personal gratification.) So, here's my little CC Dictionary.

Snorgle (noun)
The act of snuggling closely to beast or human for some quality time. It was created when the word "snuggle" collided with...I don't know what.
Usage: "I will snorgle your face off when I get home."

Schnozzleberry (noun)
A small Boston Terrier that goes by the name of Lili. I don't know why or how this came about, but it just fits.
Usage: "Good morning, Schnozzleberry. Quit dragging your hind quarters on the carpet and let's get some breakfast."

Nomulent (adj.)
Delicious food that is eaten quickly and without a whole lot of breathing in between bites.
Usage: "Those cookies were so nomulent that they are now extinct."
Related word: Nomulence (noun)
Food.
"Would you like some nomulence, or did that burrito at lunch sufficiently fill you up?"

Crapulent (adj.)
Anything that is below quality standards.
"That movie was so crapulent that I lost a few IQ points watching it."

Jesus Crime (apparently bad word)
RC's four-year-old daughter informed me the other day that "Jesus Crime" is a bad word and shouldn't be said. She doesn't know its origin or what it means. I can't stop saying it now.
"Jesus Crime, why is this movie so crapulent?"
