Went in fur politics and got 'lected mayor. He was mayor when this war broke out but he resigned to once and jined the army again. And now he's riz to be General. Oh, he's able, Ezra is!

Suicidology

I'd be very happy if we could resurrect the idea of psychache as the starting point of the conversation here. You know the crisis of the self that I talk about is a very painful one, pain is a meaningful word, talk to me about the pain that I experience, don't talk to me about my serotonin levels, that doesn't mean anything to me. And the other one, I just like the word 'psyche' because we need to remember that its original meaning and still its meaning is soul, soul in that sense is about going to our deepest sense of who we are: again, this notion of our sense of self.

psychache
n. Extreme psychological pain.

Example Citations:
Holden researches "psychache," or unbearable psychological pain, and how it relates to suicidal behaviour..."If they wish to address this sort of psychache then I think they need to focus in on which particular frustrated need is relevant for that particular individual," Holden said.

neologisms

"Any rigorous system or classification requires a rigorous series of
definitions, beginning with the most fundamental term, "neologism." In
the broadest sense it refers to any word which is perceived by
linguistically homogeneous community as being new". Neologism is
coining new words or giving new meanings to existing words. Thus,
neologism is a way of finding new horizons in language. Neologism is
way of contributing vocabulary to language.

The need to make neologisms is the requirement of a community, society
and as individual mental growth. A new word to be popularized by a
group of people takes into account many steps before the approval of
that community. And thus inclusion in dictionary is the final
destination for a neologism to be accepted on a large scale.

Story behind the word "dude" is that it is a word invented by Oscar
Wilde. "" bbc

Neologisms are derived from various sources. It can either be social,
political, religious or creative need.

Shakespeare has contributed the largest number of words and phrases to
the English language. The dictionary organized "On Historical
Principles" records "virtually every word Shakespeare has known to
have written, attributing 1,904 new coinages" to him. "All that
glitters is not gold" (The Merchant of Venice), "The world's my
oyster" (2 Henry IV) and

Lewis Carroll is famously known as "the king of neologistic poems" .
It is especially because of his poem, "Jabberwocky". Words like
"Bandersnatch — A swift moving creature with snapping jaws, capable of
extending its neck." One way of creating neologisms are by the use of
Portmanteau's. According to Merriam Webster the definitin of
Portmanteau is "

a word or morpheme whose form and meaning are derived from a blending
of two or more distinct forms (as smog from smoke and fog)" and the
"Etymology is from Middle French portemanteau, from porter to carry +
manteau mantle, from Latin mantellum — more at port ". A word used in
"Jabberwocky" "chortled" had thought to have derived from combining
two words "chuckle" and "snort". Oxford English Dictionary of chortle
is verb laugh in a breathy, gleeful way. noun a breathy, gleeful
laugh. ORIGIN coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass;
probably a blend of CHUCKLE and SNORT.

Gesamtkunstwerk

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesamtkunstwerk

Also defined as "universal artwork" in entry at ArtLex Art Dictionary

A Gesamtkunstwerk (translated as total work of art,^[1] ideal work of art,^[2] universal artwork, synthesis of the arts, comprehensive artwork, all-embracing art form, or total artwork) is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms or strives to do so.^[3] The term is a German word which has come to be accepted in English as a term in aesthetics.

The term was first used by the German writer and philosopher K. F. E. Trahndorff in an essay in 1827. The German opera composer Richard Wagner used the term in an 1849 essay. It is unclear whether Wagner knew of Trahndorff's essay. The word has become particularly associated with Wagner's aesthetic ideals.

I've deliberately not omitted the citations numbers.
