I wasn't at work yesterday, and so missed out on...
Inkhornisms: Pedantic expressions which "smell of the lamp".
I don't know what "smell of the lamp" means, but essentially it was shoehorning a bunch of prefixes and suffixes together around a base word to make a new one. Apparently the longest still used is "incomprehensibility". #TIL
And of course, today's!
Atwape: to escape.
Ye olden folke were odd.
