oxword

A made-up, slang, or fictional-world-specific word that someone tricked the Oxford English Dictionary into printing, but that no reputable dictionary would ever include.

Screenager? What the hell is a screenager? Is that an oxword?

smoking the blue crack

Acting like a complete idiot. Presumably "the blue crack" is Drain-O Crystals. "Have you been smoking the blue crack?" is thus analogous to "Have you been drinking turpentine?"

Note that this usage pre-dates the use of "blue crack" as slang for Tylenol PM.

"A customer asked me today if I could see her computer screen through the phone. I asked her if she was smoking the blue crack."
