Ugåttepå: literally unwalkedon, a way of saying don't stomp on my feet when someone passes by and I'm on my computer, as the floor is rather dark and narrow there

kata! a protest
akata or wakata: an outcry when something goes awry, especially things like almost tipping over glasses etc

Funny, I have made words out of my fave animals' speech too.
Voffelig: (woofely): great, top notch
Tchkete: Tchky: the same as above, just said in turtle sounds, even though my turtles made that sound when they retreated into their shell
werewoofwoof or werewoof: werewolf

edit: I forgot forferdskrekkelig, (a mix of forferdelig and skrekkelig, terrible and horrific), which is just another say of saying it's awful

Clannamida = the tears you cry while watching Key Arts anime [Clannad, Kanon, Air, Angel Beats, Little Busters]; made from Clannad [which also comes from a Celtic word that means family, by the way] and namida, which is Japanese for 'tears'.

Yakattack: When someone holds you hostage by talking to you nonstop.

Megative: majorly negative.

as i'm a conlanger, i could probably post about 50 or so pages of the complete lexicon of my most developed lanugage....but i'll limit myself to some of the most memorable (to me)

Crowncaen, the feeling of complete disbelief that something has happened in one's life

Sodacaen, the thing/person/event that caused the above feeling

Xen, "there exists"

Elon, to relinquish forever, to let go

Loan, soemthing that is relinquished forever, and let go

Shwfdhimedol, a desire that is never reciprocated

Máididdell, to strive for something for very long, and never reach it

Móididdell, to be in A STATE OF being strived for and not reached, OR another entity that is affected in the same way

Anneditea, one's formative years

Loricrown to elevate something to a level higher than the one it really is on, put on a pedestal, unfairly worship

ah, yes, i also read that strip.

Yackattack-LOL! I've definitely been a victim of that before.

Yackattack is a good one. I once had a neighbor that was so yakky that my nickname for her (which I never said out loud to her of course), was Kleggen (the horsefly).
Strictly speaking I've known two who were worse by far, one who was a real hag I actually didn't come up with a name for, and one that got two: Lynbudet (lightning delivery; because she was the paper"boy" but took hours going her short route because she talked for a long time with everyone who stopped) and Nyhetsbyrået (the News Agency) because she told you all her news in so much detail and sometimes other peoples' news as well, when she got her head out of her own navel for a few seconds. Spissmusa (the shrew) and Fru Spiss (Mrs Sharp) were names given to another nosy neighbor who complained about everything.

One word that isn't mine, but that I just saw in the comment's field somewhere: 'woofer' for dog. I thought it was cute that I adopted that word.

Do you mind if I use this thread to get names for the cities in a fictional place I'm making? I just need gibberish that sounds cool.

What I have so far:
Falton
Shanceldon
Vanjo

The OP said to make up words, you didn't say they needed to make sense or have meanings.

Brackish/Brambly = the smell of smoke from a new fire on a fall day

Kawaiichan = something too cute for comprehensible words

Nurpies-dry cat food, after the "nurp, nurp, nurp" sounds cats make when eating it. Can also be used to apply to packing foam or anything similar in shape and consistency.

One of my favorite words is "cattywumpus," off on a weird angle.

Kowaiineko = that moment when cats leap into the air in surprise

Knickertwisty: when people get agitated and vocal about things that aren't really important.

Xenzen = that particular calmness that comes from being silent

Half-fast which is a friendlier way of saying half-assed.
