Pronunciation: sham + fyoog

Sentence: Darlene noticed that people at work were looking at her funny all morning, but it wasn't until she visited the ladies room after her third cup of coffee that she figured out why. Apparently she had suffered a shamfugue during her morning shower and forgotten to rinse. Her hair had dried into the tufty mohawk she usually sculpted in lather. The instant she looked in the mirror, her head began to itch unbearably.

Etymology: shampoo + fugue (a period during which a person suffers from loss of memory and upon recovery, remembers nothing of the amnesic phase)

Etymology: Cogjam: based on "logjam". Blend of "cog"(cognizance:awareness)+jam:(become stuck); Minyip:blend of "min"(imum)& "yip": hitch. Chronoclot:"chrono"& clot(blockage or fool)
