Retailiation

(noun)
1) Retailiation represents a kind of retail or consumer competition amongst or between retail establishments (brand, store, company).

Retailiation is a very specific 'brand' of retaliation: economic retribution exacted by one retail establishment (brand, store, company) against another.

2) When a shopper, purchaser, consumer is displeased with a retail establishment, for whatever reason, the person exercises retailiation by refraining from shopping at a particular retail store or company, or by spreading to one's personal networks information about the displeasurable experience.

A boycott of a retail establishment (brand, store, company) is a kind of retailiation.

Note: This word, retailiation, is often a typographical error when the intended word is "retaliation."
1) When the mom and pop hardware store dropped its prices on snowblowers, Wal Mart's retailiation was swift and devastating as the Big Box store chose to sell snowblowers at a price that represented a significant loss, in order to put the small business out of business.

1) To the delight of drivers, the two gas stations on the same corner engage in perpetual retailiation by continually undercutting the other's prices.

2) Because some people disagreed with the position of a talk show host, they exercised retailiation (i.e. they retailiated) against the show's sponsoring advertisers, until the sponsors rescinded their support.

Neologian

(noun)
A neologian is a person who coins, creates, or crafts new words.

A neologian is a creator of neologisms (i.e. new words).

When existing words are insufficient to the task of adequately expressing an idea or require clumsy combinations of words, a neologian will craft a new or replacement word, most often by relying on verbal elements in pre-existing words or word-fragments, whether written or aural elements.
Tertullian was a neologian of the early Latin-speaking Christian church who coined many new words, including the very influential "trinitas" (transliterated into English as "Trinity").

Urban Dictionary is a vast resource of neologisms (new words) produced by countless neologians.

Stephen Colbert is a contemporary and renown neologian, famous for his many neologisms, for example, "truthiness."

Neologian-PJG is the neologian responsible for the neologism "neologian" as an entry in Urban Dictionary.

elauction

When elected office is up for bid, up for being bought by the highest bidder, an elauction is under way.

Elauction indicates the primary role of money (and the principal bearers of money known as billionaires) in supposedly democratic elections.

The term, elauction, represents how the oligarchy, known these days as billionaires (or Billionaire Overlords) is able to buy elections.
When $100 million is spent to prop up a Governor who has been subjected to a recall, while a paltry $4 million is spent by the challenger, we are certainly witnessing an elauction.

When each candidate is a mere face, a mere facade for billionaire backers, an elauction is under way.

Who will win the elauction? The highest bidder, or the highest so-called 'contributor' will of course buy the elauction.

frosy

(pronounced: fro'-zee)

When one's cheeks are red or pinkish from being out in the freezing cold, they are frosy.

Important Note: When one's cheeks are red or pinkish from other causes besides the freezing cold (physical exertion, embarrassment, youth, etc.), they cannot be said to be 'frosy' but merely rosy.
Oh, it must be very cold outside: your cheeks are nice and frosy!

Watching the game out in the cold made my cheeks all frosy.

AssFault

n. AssFault is a more elegant and more sophisticated term to replace the relatively more vulgar ButtCrack or its synonym, AssCrack.

etymology: AssFault is a conjoining of two terms: "Ass," which refers to the posterior of a person, and "Fault" which is a geological term indicating a break or a crack.
After the long bike ride over the asphalt my AssFault was very sore... I think I need a new seat.

Dude 1: Dude-- pull up your pants. I can see your butt is broken!

Dude2: What?

Dude1: I can see your AssFault!
