wow

it reads like the ravings of the ice-addled bastard offspring of Enid Blyton and Kinky Friedman, but it appears to be a true story – and local.

tedia

Posted by jaqi on July 4, 2008

I used the word ‘tedia’ in conversation …then paused, and said ‘I think I just made that up.’ We googled it: plenty of Tedia as company names and such, but no Wikipedia entry and when we added the define command it couldn’t. So, subject to whatever a more rigorous search may turn up, I hereby define tedia as: pl. of tedium, meaning (a/the range of) tedious things and/or events.

The sentence I found myself using it in went something like this: Paying those parking fines is just one of the tedia I have to deal with this week.

Please feel free to comment about your own tedia, so that the Wiktionary entry Stuart encouraged me to write can refer back here to more than one usage example.
