Neologisms

Hello everyone. I had never heard of neologisms until a program on the radio the other day. They are words which are given alternative meanings. Or that's what they said on the radio. After googling it I found it is more commonly used to describe new terms like 'googling'. I'm a bit confused now but hey what's new?

Anyhoo I'll post some of the ones I heard (remember) on the radio because I thought they were funny and maybe people might like to think of their own and share them for a laugh.

Here are the ones I recall, they aren't mine and I apologise for stealing other peoples ideas if they are offended:

Coffe: someone who coughs
Ballderdash: a rapidly receding hairline
Flabbergast: amazement at how much weight you've put on
Willy nilly: impotence
Boobytrap: a bra
Xenophobia: the fear of bhuddists
Typist: a drunk asian
Antiquarian: someone who hates aquarians
Crestfallen: dropped the toothpaste
Vanish: van like
Dossier: a french tramp
Mango: divorce

Hope this makes sense. I've only thought of a few which arent very good but I'll put them up anyway. Though I'm not sure if I probably just heard them somewhere before....ho hum:

Tangent:a sunbathing male
Programmer: a positive drug dealer
Ho Hum: an unwashed prostitute

ROFL. That's hilarious. You rule.
I'm crap at thinking for myself though, so I'll decline to adding to that list.
