Neologisms are defined by the creation, use of new words or recycling of old ones. In our daily life we are confronted with this new vocabulary and our speech is influenced by it. It can be serious and sound academic, or it can have a unique type of humor since some of these new words express meanings of activities or situations we can actually relate to. In the glossary presented below, you can find out how fun neologisms can be.
