Just Say Discon Dude

My class and I yesterday started a language experiment.
We want to see if we can get the word "discon," which we made up, into the English langauge.
We'd be satisfied with its becoming slang and even more pleased with its making its way into actual English usage. Hell, why not even shoot for the dictionary?

My student, Ivan, decided that discon should be a word.
It is a variation of his own made-up word "discongratiate."
We all heartily agreed that "discongratiate" was Tres Cool, but no one could figure out how to get it into everyday conversation.
Discon was thus born.

I love thinking about how many words that Shakespeare made up, words that we use every day like "summit." In all the poet made up 2,000 such words. And we use them, many of them every day.

The language experiment goes like this: Everyone in my class has to use the word once a day with people outside our course. I asked Brian to try to use it on the internet. I'm putting it here, and I've enlisted a couple of colleagues. We'll see just how far we can go with this. I am amazed to see how this works. Usually, we decide informally as language users which words get to have life...which words we'll pay attention to.

So don't be a discon. Help birth this word...Heck, it might even thank you someday.
