Some of these could exist if we just start using them. The best one I've found: tootbox toot·box a place where something, especially music, plays "do you need a tootbox in your bedroom?" https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/FKYq

Seems a good name for a Mastodon client.

OMG, this can't be claimed as never existing, what if it starts to exist, this is too realish: https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/microtoxin/eyJ3IjogIm...

I tried out "portmanteau" a word which actually DOES exist and is kinda what you're going for here. From Wikipedia:

A portmanteau or portmanteau word is a blend of words in which parts of multiple words are combined into a new word, as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, or motel, from motor and hotel. In linguistics, a portmanteau is a single morph that is analyzed as representing two underlying morphemes

Your tool says:

"a word that probably exists; with an alternative definition made by a machine learning algorithm."

I have a compulsion to create terms for arbitrary concepts such that recently I've considered learning German because it's easier to create new words (via compounds) there.

More confused on mine than anything.

noun.

shiznitpats

shiznit·pats

a $10 bill placed across the chest of another prisoner without proper reason, typically for mental anguish

"the shiznitpats were held and transferred to juvenile detention center"

Author here! Funny to see this at the top of HN today -- happy to answer any questions (source code is here https://github.com/turtlesoupy/this-word-does-not-exist ) Shameless plug for my other "this x does not exist": This Fucked Up Homer Does Not Exist https://www.thisfuckeduphomerdoesnotexist.com/

So I just had a hit on a real word (pejorative), not sure if that's the plan or not
