We all know how much TV salesperson love to fabricate new words but the Laurie Felt vendor came up with one that really got my attention, optionality. They seem to think they can add "ality" to any word and it makes perfect sense.

That's how words get added to the dictionary. Somebody makes up a word others repeat it until it official.

I've always liked "truthiness", thanks Stephen Colbert.

That's a new one! I have an all-time favorite amusingly, pompously nutty word, that I think comes out of the world of bureaucracy rather than sales. The word is "efforting", as in "We are tirelessly efforting on that project" (or something like that.) Sounds so much more "dressed-up" than working or doing...
