Neologisms that make me giggle:

1. 404: Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message 404 Not Found, meaning that the requested document could not be located.
2. Geobragging: Repeated status updates noting your location in an attempt to get attention or make other people jealous.
3. Ego surfer:  A person who boosts his ego by searching for his own name on Google and other search engines.

These come from The Washington Post Neologism Competition – they made me more than giggle – I guffawed my way through them…

1. Coffee: the person upon whom one coughs.
2. Flabbergasted: appalled over how much weight you have gained.
