Ever wondered how many times you have to say a word before it becomes official?
At what point does it move from the unstable stage (playground parlance) to the diffused stage (everyone in Cool Town saying it) through to stable (getting in the dictionary) before hitting passe (your dad)?
Well, we want to find out. Just tell us your new word and what it means by posting it as a comment below.
We'll pick our favourite and try to use it as much as possible on our labels, website and right here on this blog.
The creator of the new word will not only win themselves a case of our finest drinks but maybe even bagsy a spot in the dictionary. If we use it enough.
Rules are it can't be rude, it can't be offensive and it can't be rubbish.
We'll pick the winner at the end of the summer, so plenty of time to get creating.
Good luck.
Puggled - means confused or not sure,
"I'm really Puggled about that!"
I love this word and use it lots... I'm no dizzy blonde though ;-0

It's an abbreviation of 'fear of missing out' but a very useful word in its own right.
An example - have two glasses of Innocent Smoothie just in case someone else finishes it before you do. You have fear of missing out. You are a fomo.

Fairy snuff.
Is not actually a drugg, to be used instead of fair enough, just because fair enough is not quite as exciting as saying fairy snuff, and it really confuses people who aren't in the know and think you are offering them something.

We had a student teacher a few years ago and we thought it would be funny to make up a word and ask her what it meant. Cruel, I know, but we came up with:
sev•rip•ro•cal [sev-rip-ruh-kuhl]
- Adjective: behaving in an abnormal manor, contrasting to what one would perceive as a persons normal behaviour; "She was showing sevriprocal behaviour changes", "there's nothing sevriprocal about the fruit we use in our smoothies"
- Noun: something that is the sevriprocal to something else; converse; reverse; opposite; “Innocent smoothies are the sevriprocal of all things processed and concentrated”
And it worked! It was hilarious watching her search through the dictionary. Maybe one day she will find the definition in her concise oxford ;)

WERBLE or WERBEL
I'm launching a campaign to bring an old word back into useage because it is so wonderfully atomspheric and descriptive. It's autumn, the leaves are off the trees and you drive through a big pile of them. Look in the rearview mirror at the fiery cloud you've created. That's a "werbel of leaves". The word appeared on an episode of Call My Bluff on the BBC many, many years ago when Frank Muir and Patrick Campbell were team captains and I've never forgotten it. I have forgotten how to spell it, though! Werbel or werble, (pronounced like "burble"). Please help bring this lovely word back into English useage.

Thrump (I thrump, you were thrumping, we had a thrump e.t.c.)
This is a verb which describes the feeling you get 'the day after' when you feel like you did something wrong or bad but can't decide what it was or if its your brain chemicals making it up just to spook you. Generally a comforting phonecall to a friend and a good movie and a nice bit of cheese on toast help dispel the thrumping.

(during our election party the phrase 'portillo moment' came up in our game of political bingo.

It quickly became our favourite way to describe our AS exams, which were rather disastrous)

'Inkle'.
I think it's wrong that you can 'have an inkling' as a noun, but there is not verb that fits with it. Thus I propose the use of 'to inkle' as a verb.

'Really? I inkled they might'.
