Soft gym shorts: pous-pous.
I have done this many times. You can, too. We already have this power.
On further thought, adding a couple words to the already kinda long question wasn’t too much. I adjusted it to better ask what I had in mind, which was what invented words would you make and have instantly adopted.
Fwice - 4x. Once, twice, thrice, fwice.

I would split the word “love” into unique words for different kinds of love.
I actually kind of like that the word covers a lot of situations. I’d support different words for different loves but my feelings about my romantic partner, my friends, and riding a bike are kinda related to each other in some way.
The word love would not disappear. Its meaning would just shift to something that feels off when you mean a specific type of love. What you whisper in the ear of your lover in bed, will be different from what you tell your kid when they go off to school. But when talking about the amount of love you have to give, the old word “love” will still be used, since that is usually about any kind of love.
Male lions are now called lioners. Also, as I’m German and we don’t have a proper word for lioners either, I propose “Löwer”.
Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.
I’ve always wished there was a word for the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is looking at you.
A word to signify when you’re joking, but not joking if the answer is yes.
Half-joking: adjective “said, done, or acting in a seemingly jokey manner, but with some serious intent”
There are phrases as well that can be used, such as:
“Joking, not joking.”
“Kidding, not kidding.”
“No, but seriously.”
“I’m joking…unless?”
🎵I’m just kidding like Jason… unless you’re gonna do it 🎶
