Cisit

(v.) Visit a city. Contraction of City + Visit. Often seen in questions about travelling salespeople in introductory computer science classes.

"Hey Bob, what are you doing for winter vacation?"
"I'm cisiting all over America - I'll be hitting the 25 most populous cities"
"Sounds like a blast! Have you thought of an efficient order to cisit all 25?"
"Hmm no, perhaps I'll devise an algorithm to help me figure it out..."

Lexiophile

Bastardization of "lexiphile" (itself a fake word) originated by Peter Frederick to fuck with his readers. It's supposed to mean someone who loves reading, based off the greek lexikos ("of or for words") and philia ("fondness").

"If your audience is a lexiophile (look it up), supply a veritable smorgasbord of stimulating sentences."
