Words We Have Invented
We invent words. It’s important to me that we get credit once these words become commonly used. That’s why i’m keeping this list of words that we’ve coined, so that any etymological research turns up our names, and maybe there will be some kind of word royalty cheque mailed out to us.

Gotta love the gothivists! You should so add it to urbandictionary.com
i was worried no one would understand that one – hence the lengthy description and picture. My bro-in-law and his ladyfriend don’t like the term, but i’ve spoken to a few other gothtivists and they find it fitting. To Urban Dictionary i go!
