“Lexophile” is a word used to describe those that love using words in rather unique ways, such as “you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish”, or “to write with a broken pencil is pointless.” A competition to see who can come up with the best one is held every year.

Ok I’m asking because it goes along with this, but do any othER lexophiles here assign meanings to words? The meaning has nothing to do with actual definition or it can be a made up word with an assigned meaning. I do this constantly to my wife’s great annoyance, but have done so since I was a child, just wondering if other people do this as well.
