spizerinctum
n.— «Spizerinctum is invisible—an essence or energy of sorts. When beer has lost its foam, soda has lost its fizz or a balloon deflates, it has lost its spizerinctum. I suppose you would say that throughout the wedding preparations and busy weekend, I was overflowing with spizerinctum, but as things are winding down now, I think it has flown the coop for a while.» —“In the realm of the coined” by Cee Cee in Mahtomedi, Minn. Pioneer Press (Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.) Oct. 17, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
