TheBigE has a rich and far-ranging vocabulary, however he still retains some humorous pronounciation holdovers from having been trached and battling chronic sinus infections. This is the beginning of a compilation of our favorites:-)
The Grabbling Hook: [noun] a tool consisting of several hooks for grasping and holding;often thrown with a rope [source: WordNet (r) 1.7][usage] "Look at that cool GI Joe grabbling hook! If I had one of those for reals, I would play with it all the time!"
Twinkerbell:
Mischivous pixe renown for misbehaving. First appeared in Barrie's Peter Pan, presently can be found strafing Disneyland with fairy dust. [usage] "Do you remember in Peter Pan when that Twinkerbell got those boys that were lost to shoot Wendy? How did she do that??"

Wondermarks
Last year, working on a story with TheBigE:
TheBigE: I think I need to put a wondermark.
Mom: A what?
TheBigE: You know...a wondermark. Because I'm wondering something in this part.
Mom: Hmmmm...do you mean a question mark, like this? [squiggles mark on page]
TheBigE: A what?
Mom: Question mark.
TheBigE: Oh. Um, yeah...but I like wondermark better.
TheBigE: I think I need to put a wondermark.
