Ever misspell a word and then wonder if your misspelled word should be a word?

And since you typed it first you get to define it.

For example I tried to type 'must.' Instead I typed 'nust.' Now, as we all know 'nust' is not a word, but sure looks and sounds like it should be.

So I declare nust is a word! And I have decided that nust is a smell associated with the coming Spring season - a smell of dampness and earth.

Anybody else ever have a word come from out of nowhere that you could play with?

Saviot for savior happened a while back. What is a saviot?
