Here's some new words I Invented
\
camboim - adj.  (cam boim)  Confusions And Misunderstandings Because Of Instant Messengers.  These also occur in emails.  They usually occur because of the lack of facial expressions and movements caused by the lack of having the conversation in person. My friend from China and I are no longer on speaking terms because of a camboim conversation we were having concerning his mother.

ex:

    person1: I dunno what i want to do tonight
    person2: Well what do you feel like doing
    person1: whatever
    person2: Don't blow me off like that
    person1: No, that's not what I meant at all!
    person2: ok sure
    person1:  well don't give me attitude about it
    person2:  no, i meant "ok, sure"

A special thanks to Mike D for the contributions to the creation of this word and its definition.  :)

dememberetalism - n.  (de mem ber et a lism)  When you're arguing with someone or trying to prove a point and they ask you for specific examples of whatever it is you're arguing and you KNOW they exist only for some reason you can't think of anything.  For example, right now I'm trying to explain what this new word means, only I can't think of a specific example to tell you about even though I know it has happened to me several times.   While arguing with my sister, I had to give up the fight when I couldn't think of an example of what I was talking about because dememberetalism took over my brain.

ex:

    Person 1-    You little jerk!  You stole my discman!
    Person 2-     I didn't steal it!  I borrowed it!  You take my things without asking all the time!
    Person 1-     I do not!  Name one time that I ever took anything of yours without asking!
    Person 2-    I can't think of a specific time, but I know you do cuz I get mad at you everytime!
    Person 1-    Yeah right. You can't even think of one example!

Person 1 just made Person 2 look really bad.   Person 2 has no way of proving herself true because of dememberetalism.

When dememberetalism happens it makes you wanna pull out all your hair, but at least now you know you're not alone.  Unless maybe you all think I'm nuts right now and have no idea what I'm talkin about... but that doesn't bother me cuz I'm used to it. ;-p
 
A special thanks goes to Drew for thinkin' up the word to use (I couldn't think of a cool word). Thanks Drew!
