Me and my mates made up a few words... My favourite was:

Bleenge - noun: To kick a ball as hard as you can.

"Right lads 2 v 2 with Paddy in nets... NO BLEENGING!!"

How would one pronounce that?

That would have been blinge when I was wee; 'he kicked that a right blinge'

a blinger was powerfully kicked ball, normally from some farmers son wearing a pair of brogues.

Ideate. To generate ideas.

Vomate: An involuntary reaction to unnecessary business buzzwords.

On a similar theme - an oldie but still gets me right in the laugh basket!

A Cork, Ireland radio station was holding an on-air contest to see who could come up with the best word not in a dictionary that would still make sense in a sentence. One of the first callers used the word G-O-A-N, pronounced "go-an."
"Okay, caller. How would you use this in a sentence?"
"Go-an. Goan f**k yerself!" Concerned about it being a family show, the DJ quickly hung up on the man. After fielding a bunch more unsuccessful calls, another caller calls up with the word S-M-E-E, pronounced "smee."
"Okay, caller. How would you use this in a sentence?"
"Smee again. Goan f**k yerself!"
Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

Reintarnation:-  where you die and come back as a hillbilly.

Forgive me for not being right on topic here - Not new words, but a phrase I've been hearing over the last year in this part of the States is "Reaching out to someone" - So instead of phoning someone, a person "will reach out to so-and-so", or instead of someone thanking a person for receiving a phone call, it's" thanks for reaching out to me"
That awkward moment - Not sure if you do have free time or if you're just forgetting everything!

Bazinga

A catchy phrase to accompany your clever pranks.

As popularized by Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory).

I just replaced your toothpaste with denture cream. Bazinga!

They say that all the time where I work. "Why don't you reach out to John there". Feck off, If I need a hug I'll ask one of the women.

Maybe John needs a hug?  Talk about being self obsessed :P
