Found in an old notebook: three words I made up while cleaning student kitchens.

GRUST (n.) A substance composed of blended grease and dust. At first glance, it seems "grust" might be confused with "grease and rust." However, one good thing about an aerosolysed-vegetable-oil-rich atmosphere is protection from corrosion.

GRINT (n.) A substance composed of blended grease and lint. Often found in extractor fans. You'll notice a pattern here.

GROTH (n.) A very sad substance found typically on window ledges. It is composed of grease and dead moths.


Grust sounds like the newest hybrid of grindcore and crust punk.

Gatomon sequence (aka Tailmon sequence) - ascending or descending arithmetical or geometrical sequence formed by at least three additive prime numbers which all have the same sum of digits which is also an additive prime number. 5, 23, 41 and 191, 227, 263 are Gatomon sequences (Tailmon sequences). My "mentality" wants to commemorate a cute catlike creature from Digimon franchise by naming such sequences as "Gatomon sequences" ("Tailmon sequences"). I do not know if there are any other Gatomon sequences, for example also in decimal system.

5 = 5; 2+3 = 5; 4+1 = 5.
5 - an additive prime number.
5, 23, 41 - common difference is 18.

1+9+1 = 11; 2+2+7 = 11; 2+6+3 = 11.
11 - an additive prime number (1+1 = 2).
191, 227, 263 - common difference is 36.

Centipedal force: a strong repulsive force exerted by large hairy centipedes. Can lift a fully-grown human onto a table.

Jack of all trades key.

A master key that doesn't work very well. I've encountered many of these at work, including in one building where doors seemed to be randomly assigned to one of four possible keys. All of which fit so badly, quite often the correct one was the one I'd tried first and given up on after 5 minutes of frantic grinding and wriggling.

IMHOtep: someone who uses the phrase "In my humble opinion" a lot, but makes it pretty clear that they actually believe their opinion to backed by a godlike level of knowledge and infallibility. (Imhotep was a minor Egyptian god.)

I create new words all the time, my sense of humor is also really odd and abstract. I don't really tell jokes as much as incorporate a mannerism I have into some humorous twist usually involving repeating a word that was already a bit nonsensical I normally use with a diversion of my usual body language and a focus on something happening that to me was a bit odd in the details. In fact this explanation alone probably has people scratching their heads. No one is ever laughing though, NT's generally can't tell when I'm being serious or trying to be little more funny because the combination of me naturally being more bubbly with my already odd mannerisms tends to confuse many of them in the first place. I get a lot of wildly different reactions to me in public that I don't entirely understand outside of what might have happened just as much.

Współstworzenie - Polish word which might be translated as "co-creation", "cocreation", it means someone and (or) something which is created by the same divine being as you (I do not want to offend anyone, but there is only one divine being in pan-being (Polish wszechbyt; all which exist, including God and entire creation) Who created everything which is not Him from complete nothingness; I do not want to commit any sin and deprave anyone).

Cutze - blend of English "cute" and German "Katze" (which means "cat"), so this word means "cute cat".

Restroom pillows - the buttocks.
Hills of physiology - the buttocks.
"Stink canyon" - the intergluteal cleft.
"Stink cannon" - regio glutealis (buttocks area).
Humps of malodor - the buttocks.
Humps of impurity - the buttocks.
Humps of uncleanness - the buttocks.
Rearry - the word formed from word rear, analogously to the word really from word real.

https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/ameryka - word "ameryka" ("Ameryka" means "America") in Poznań region in Poland is a humorous word for "butt" (part of the body between back and thighs) according to the linked page.

I have such an association [rude and impolite word for behind...] in "mentality": "arizona" could mean "the buttocks"; buttocks area. Reference to two [number two means "poop"] large tourist attractions of this state: big crater (Meteor Crater) which symbolizes anus and big canyon (Grand Canyon) which symbolizes intergluteal cleft (the interval between the buttocks).

Arizona is in America and words "Arizona" and "America" have both seven letters and their first and last letters are letters "A", "a".

Words "crater" and "canyon" have both six letters and both have "c" as first letter.
