Words that don't exist, but should
It recently occurred to me that I have a lot of terms of my own which I find myself using in my own head, or in corresponding with people who know me well, that don't really exist (yet) but probably should. Here are a few:
celltard: a person gabbing annoyingly on a cell phone in public
cusstard: a person who enjoys or justifies swearing
foamer: a ranting, raving, foaming-at-the-mouth religious nut
fuzzbait: a car driving even faster than your own along the same road, which unwittingly protects you against being pulled over for speeding because it's that car and not your own that any patrol car in the area will go after
hoarsemen of the apocalypse: hysterical members of the media and punditocracy who endlessly bellow gloom and doom about the economy
idollator: a person whose main sexual partner is a sex doll or robot rather than an actual human
Obamatardosphere: that portion of the internet consisting of sites run or dominated by Obama cultists
patroll: the act of diligently policing one's blog to remove hostile or negative comments
PITA: an annoying person or situation (acronym of "pain in the [hindquarters]")
weavetard: a driver who constantly moves from lane to lane trying to overtake the rest of the traffic, usually gaining about two whole car lengths by the next stop sign

I have one of my own:
anonyasses anonymous internet commenters that use anonymity as a cover for rudeness.
My boss was called PITA once by somebody during an official lunch ! As his name was "pierre" I thought he (ausstralian) was saying "pierre" as "peter" and he repeated until I asked him what PITA means and he explained to me and I laughed out louder...
CC -- Good one! Certainly a word is needed for that.
Prash -- I had no idea that PITA was already in use in that sense, but I suppose it's not surprising.
How about "pita bred" - one raised to be an annoying person or situation (acronym of "pain in the [hindquarters] and changed spelling of bread?)
bratworst: larval form of the PITA bred.....
Good list of psuedo-names.
