It's funny how people arrive at a word! I had made it up with the stem _lugga-_ in mind (referring to luggage) while 'plurk' refers to uncouth behaviour: while you pointed at "drunk" I thought of something like "lout" So my original definition was (mentioned at the end):

Oh, that IS interesting! I would LOVE to take a class, just on prefixes and suffixes!!

Blethen (adj.) the blank, sheepish facial expression that young, innocent or inexperienced persons assume when confronted with the hairier aspects of what others consider to be "real life" (i.e. on the countryside; in "da hood"; in prison; among lower social classes as one comes from; explicit and / or embarrassing biological phenomena, etcetera)

Mathilda stood dumbstruck, her Victorian floral dress fluttering in the chilly highland wind.
"Don't stand there like a blethen public school-lass!", Prue laughed as she tried to pull the calf out "It's probably got just one 'ead!"

Pieleerite Sedimentary rock formed from sediments containing a high level of ammonium thioglycolate, a chemical associated with the practice of hair perming. A common explanation involves the impact of a meteorite-sized hair saloon at ~ 27 mya (or, alternatively, an alien space-ship with a remarkably high level of attention for crew hairstyling)

debuschikomen (n.) (Japan) the quality that allows a Ninja to practice delicate things like flower-arranging in such a way that it actually increases his machismo, while it would make the average rough-tough guy lose his face

The three Heichei-warlords didn't dare moving a muscle as Yaboko-San took a step back from the cuckoo eggshell on which he had just calligraphed a Haiku describing a raindrop that falls on a lotus flower. He re-arranged his ceremonial silk robe, turned towards his visitors and took a short formal bow. "Such debushikomen!" one of the men whispered under his breath, "The Lotus-flower truly is stronger than forged steel!"
