Sentence: His doctor told him there was no sign of dementia but Rudy knows he has days where duhmentia is the order of the day. It might be unwrapping something to eat, tossing the food in the trash leaving him with a wrapper in hand and a dumb look on his face or walking from one room to another with a task in mind only to forget why he went there. There was something else but I can’t remember it just now.

Etymology: duh (used to comment on an action perceived as foolish or stupid) + dementia (a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning)

Pronunciation: ko nun dum

Sentence: It was her worst nightmare. Mary Jane had studied hard for her finals. In fact, she'd spent hours cramming in knowledge for the big day. She'd answered every multiple choice question and felt confident that her answer was the right one in each case. All finished, she just had to complete the top portion with her personal information. She froze when it asked for her address and phone number. Having just moved, she could not for the life of her remember them. AAAgh! What a conundumb and her not allowed to open her purse. She obviously had crammed too much intense trivia in her brain cells and bumped out a simple sequence of numbers. Time's up, Mary Jane!

Etymology: Conundrum (a difficult problem;enigma;something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained;riddle) & Dumb (slow to learn or understand; lacking intellectual acuity;stupid)

Pronunciation: inn-tell-eck-trance

Sentence: When she entellectranced during her exam and left most of the answers blank, she realised later that all was not lost. That night while she slept she rattled off the answers perfectly in sequence while she talked in her sleep. Her husband, oblivious and never waking up to her droning voice, suddenly became highly educated on women's studies and gender analysis, constructions and intersections of race, class, age, ability and sexuality in popular culture, everyday life, the arts, the sciences, politics, societies, and the economy.

Etymology: intellect + trance (as in dazed)

Pronunciation: in SPELL i gence

Sentence: Brian’s last question from the audience stupefied him. “Well, the truthh izz....” He lost his train of thought mid-sentence, hesitated, then launched into a full inspelligence of senseless blubbering. “Andi oeej f iaoe uck sjdi...” This got worse! Was he speaking meaningless drivellence or an obscure language? Moments later, he snapped to alertness to ask: who he was, where he was and why him? It was a stroke of ingenious speculation.

Etymology: From intelligent and spell: to fall into a trance-like state while exercising one's intelligence.
