Dear Friends:
As you may or may not know, a Lingovation is a newly-created, freshly-coined word, often comprised of a hybrid or contraction of several existing words, which comes into being when no other single existing word or word combination (and sometimes not even an entire paragraph!) can precisely express the thought. They are not nonsensical terms, and must indeed be taken very seriously.
TECHNULLITY – Any much-heralded, long-awaited device which is so complicated to set up and use that you store it in a drawer (or in some other safe place) thinking that you’ll get to it when you have some time to dedicate to reading the instruction manual and to “program” it, which cannot ever be located again, but which is not missed except for the fact that it frightens you into thinking that you may be suffering from some type of premature dementia, or were subjected to an alien abduction.
One subcategory, the “FRAGMENTATIONAL TECHNULLITY” is the same type of device which comes with many small parts, each one of which is vital to the functioning of the total device, and none of which can be replaced for less than several times the entire cost of the device, which has long since ceased to be manufactured due to its having been replaced (months or years earlier) by a newer version.
Ironically, TECHNULLITIES are almost never CRAPPLICATIONS (refer to theLingovation Posting of two weeks ago in The BLUE TUESDAY Report for the definition of this latter term).
Note: That Douglas Castle coined the terms "TECHNULLITY" and "TECHNULLITIES", but the term "CRAPPLICATIONS" has been playing the circuit (the internet circuit) for some time. Castle and TNNWC get big points for TECHNULLITY, but (sigh...) none for CRAPPLICATION. Darn.
p.s. If after reading the LINGOVATION above, you have some idea of your very own for a new LINGOVATION, simply press on the button which follows (it says "Submit My Original Lingovation") to submit your new word and its definition, and we will make you famous...well, perhaps just somewhat famous. We will get your Lingovation a very high ranking on all of the search engines -- that much is assured!

A brief word from our Sponsor, Albert Einstein, who is deceased at the moment, having suffered (apparently) at least one too many electroconvulsive therapy treatments:
We, at TNNWC Group have also received high praise from none other than... presidential hopeful Sarah "Mama Grizzly" Palin! Who knows where our next celebrity endorsement (or next meal, for that matter) will be coming from? Perhaps Michael Vick? Perhaps Paris Hilton??? Lingovations -- we were nothing before they came into existence.
LINGOVATIONS!
