I just came here to point out that there are no "real" words and "made-up" words. All words are made-up and if you like a term, you are free to use it and no one can stop you. Actually, I do encourage you to use made-up words frequently. What do you think Shakespeare did? (Also how do you lose a sock in a dryer in a good way??)

There are, however, official and unofficial words. That's the only way anyone can understand meaning, you flarmigeddining winglebloppiz! Now, did I insult you, or was that a complement? You don't know, because those words have no meaning to you.

"Widdershins" does not mean "to go counter-clockwise". It means "counter-clockwise". The former would be a verb; the latter an adverb.

I really enjoy that these images of text are cut off on the left and right sides to make it impossible to actually read the entire question.

If you write "pumplebuffle" then that IS a real word because right there is the word PUMPLEBUFFLE on the page. What's missing is a definition attached to the word.

It's whether it's in the dictionary or not.
