Creatification

So the trend these days is to make yourself sound smarter by adding suffixes to simpler words to create multi-syllable words. For example: Conversate, meaning to participate in a dialogue with someone. Or orientate, to become familiar with one's surroundings. Everyone knows that using big words makes you sound more intelligent. My sister and I decided that we're going to start making up our own words to boost our perceived intelligence.

Here are some of our favorites:

Relaxicity: the state of being of rest or at ease
Traversify: to make your way to another location
Surgification: the act of performing an operation on a person

Once you start making up words, you'll find yourself doing it all the time. It's very hard to NOT create a new word when you get into the swing of it.

So, let's hear yours. I need some new smartifying vocabulation.
