If your daddy is rich your made up words might make it into the dictionary more easily. I went to college in the 60's with Jonathon Cerf, the son of Bennet Cerf, the publisher of Random House.

When Jonathon was in prep school he coined the word "defenestrate" meaning to throw something out of a window. (The base of the word was "fenestre" which is French for window.) His daddy entered "defenestrate" in the Random House dictionary for him.
