“If I had the bent I would keep a notebook in my pocket for words that don’t exist yet and try to slip them into conversation. Like burbles - when you’re just getting to know a lover and they touch your hand accidentally or  they kiss  you goodbye  and you get a  tingling in your cheeks or up your  neck. Example: She really gives me the burbles. Or explosh, which is when you like someone so much that you think you’re going to explode. Example: God, you make me feel  like I’m going to explosh. Or shameshrink, which is when you’ve done something very stupid or screwed up somehow and you feel as though you’re  physically getting smaller.  Example:  That  was really silly. I feel  a  shameshrink coming on.” © Three Things I Did When My Father Died by Alex McKechnie
