One of my favorite ongoing jams at Arcanum was "Words Not In the Dictionary" - neologisms coined on the spot, either redefining an existing word, or altering it slightly in spelling to better drive home the pun. A few examples of the former:
moron - the fundamental particle of stupidity
zebra - support for ze breasts
penultimate - the best writing implement, ever
and of the latter:
knavy - a flotilla of rogues
wickerpedia - the online encyclopedia of basket weaving
iguano - lizard dung
My track record at getting jams rolling here ain't too good, but what the hey..... It's kinda fun
(and it's okay to have fun...)
...
any takers....?

next up - "d".........
