I was thinking we’d make some up.
“Fwoosh.” I made that up to describe information that goes way above your head.
Kee-theewak. To describe bottlenecks in traffic or any other jam. Dunno why… just that’s what the frustration ‘sounds’ like to me.

super-cali-fragilistic-expialidocious
bloviation

Don’t forget about sparky. That’s the word you use when you feel sexually aroused by someone of the same sex, when you aren’t gay. You don’t want to have sex with them you’re just all revved up.
Like my swoons for Fran Drescher.
I think women tend to get more sparky feelings than men do, but I suspect that George Clooney and Johnny Depp may dredge up the feelings in a number of straight guys. Or maybe certain sports figures.
Hapt. The sound your mouth makes when it shuts fast due to making an oops or not knowing what to say.
Used in a sentence: He made me go HAPT!
