    After reading through all of these, I will probably be dunandunating these words quite a bit...

    The only words I knew in that list were 'earworm' and 'griefer.' There's a lot of new slang that I do not want to learn :p

    Oh nice, I'm a total stealth-geek. :) No wonder so many of these were rejected from the dictionary, they're just portmanteaus or sound completely retarded. However, some of them look and sound quite nice like nudenda.
