New word: “crumpify”

First Saturday of the month. Time for new words to live by. Once a month on the first Saturday of each month, I will list a new word. This is NOT a word you are likely to find in the dictionary. It is a new word, often a portmanteau word, sometimes just a new word not made from merging two other words. Some of the previous words have included: obsurd, a combination of obscure and absurd, obscure absurdity means something obsurd. These new words might even be considered an exercise in obsurdity.

Here now is the new word.

Crumpify: v., to crumple something multiple times or in multiple ways, so as to leave it in a multiple crumpled state. It can still be useable in this state, but is often seen as a transitional state to something better.

For example: “If I crumpify my car enough, maybe my parents will buy me the sports car I always wanted.”

Crumpified: adj., the condition of being in a state of crumpification, i.e., multiple crumples.

For example: On Monday, Joey found the crumpified gum he had stuck under his school desk on Friday. He peeled it off, popped it into his mouth and chewed on it for a several minutes until it was soft again. It had lost some of its flavor, but he could still blow a bubble with the double-wad he had started off with.
