Rehabism : Guffaw-worthy
One of my favourite pasttimes is to coin words. And since there are some words that over-used, there is an urgent need for new ones.
For example, cool is dead. Its a Stone Age word. And ideally cool should indicate temperature. By that logic, if I call a gadget cool, am I not indicating a certain amount of coldness towards it. Anyways, many such logical or illogical conclusions later,I decided the English language needed some exciting new words, that can be used without modifying their literal meaning or their spelling(Dreamz is an epitome of lameness!)
So I have decided to start a series of posts where I talk about new words that I have coined. If you have coined them before me, shout out, prove with a link or something and I shall give you credit. If you think that the word coined by yours truly has synonyms, by all means tell me!
And dear reader, if you have more to add to the list, let me know.
So, today's Rehabism is : Guffaw-worthy.
This word was invented seeing the over use and abuse of the abbreviations LOL,ROFL,LMAO and the like...none of which I use in my online work/chat. These abbreviations have been done to death. There was a need for something that indicates laughing boisterously in a completely different manner. Hence Guffaw-worthy.
Usage : Most of Russell Peter's videos are guffaw-worthy.
Note : Rehabism is a point of view by yours truly on all matters under the Sun. Most of the times these point of views emerge due to maximum exposure to parallel worlds and far away planets where this author is hoping to reside someday. New words, like theories, come under the set of Rehabism because a new word is to replace an old word or a thought.
Hope you enjoy this series.

why not start using spanish words instead of englis? they sound much cooler! and there can be a new word for everything.
@Roy--Thanks for stopping by. Why dont you suggest something that is synonymous to the word above and I can take it from there?
These new words need synonyms too you no?
