In the contest for Worse Neologism of the 21st Century, I'd like to get the nominations rolling early with a candidate that, though it may not ultimately stand the test of time, is certainly the one to beat:
Gestaltebana
I can't remember how [livejournal.com profile] monshu said its inventor defined it. It almost doesn't matter, does it? But it only makes matters worse to know that the context was pastoral studies. In case you're having trouble recognising the second element, it's ikebana. Ye Gods, it looks even more hideous in print than I thought it would!

And I figured that if anyone here could propose a serious challenger, it would be you. But I suppose your scientists are generally more competent in their coinaging than [livejournal.com profile] monshu's ministers.
