I've just discovered a rather fun new site. It's The Word Spy. A site that tells you about neoligisms and new uses for old words (of which I am certain there must be a word, but I don't know what it is. Jean? Chaz?) It has meanings for words and phrases such as 'googling' (a word which Google are somewhat annoyed about and are attempting to stop. I don't think it's going to work though and they are going to become victims of their own popularity, much like Anadin and Hoover. Oh well...)

If a word is defined as a combination of form and meaning, then a new meaning for an existing form is as much a neologism as a new form - would you go for that?
