Malapropisms or Jabberwocky

Sometimes malapropisms can be jabberwocky. Sometimes they are useful words as well, as they convey meaning that proper words cannot.
I have been prone to indulge in this misuse of the language. Made up words that fit the description desired.
One of my favorites that I concocted many years ago when I worked in the mental health field is,ANXOTIC.

In French humor, going back to Molière and perhaps even beyond, misuse of the language has always been a major source of humor. Things such as mixed metaphors are a constant reason for guffaws in stand up comedy or in films.
