Fukui Sushi
This sushi restaurant in Toronto adopted my naming philosophy.
Owner 1: We need a name for our new establishment
Owner 2: Yes, and it should emphasize our couldn't-give-a-crap-about-our-customers attitude
Owner 1: While at the same time sounding authentically Japanese...
Owner 2: What would Gigan call it?
I need to start charging for my services

Threebound
Inspired by Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 for the Nintendo 64. In this game, you're considered lucky if Chris Osgood has a save percentage higher than .700 in any given match as most shots result in a rebound which is subsequently put in the net. If you're REALLY lucky, the rebound attempt will be saved resulting in another rebound (which will subsequently be put in the net). This is called the threebound.
The definition is a little bit flawed, because technically the third scoring attempt would be considered the second rebound, however, deucebound (thank you Jordan Fkeenish) was not as catchy.

At least he hasn't Bill Buckner'd like he did in last season's opening weekend (so far)

It looks like I'm the victim of my own musings

Here's how this works...
I steadily produce a variety of words and phrases with the function of either:
1) renaming existing words and phrases
2) merging multiple words from the same phrase into one time-saving super-word, or
3) creating a new entry to go along with an entirely new definition in what is now called the gigtionary
This word is great because it makes a mental condition (psychosomatic) sound like a futuristic military weapon
ex. "fire the psychoplasmatron!"
This word is not approved by one of my biggest haters. The controversy makes it that much of a better word. Take a girl who is especially mugly (a much better word than the pretentious "fugly," as it incorporates the act of making a sourpuss face, or "mug" while simultaneously being ugly) and give her a ruthless, manipulative personality that is indicative of a totalitarian. Voila! You have yourself a mugilatarian
WARNING: Before elongated use of my words, please be advised that the internet exists, and as such, some of my productions may have been thought of and/or has already been published online. A good example occurred last week when I thought of the brilliant phrase "Russian Toilette" to refer to a situation when you have to do a twozie, but risk the potential lack of toilet paper available to cover your ass (literally). Later on, I checked Urban Dictionary and the phrase already existed.
