MAKE UP A WORD OR PHRASE

Octo-Mom, Shrinkage, Double-dipping.... just some of the non-tech words we've added to our vocabulary over the past several years. Schmick? Just saw that on one of Tommy's answers to a Terryfossil question.
SO, YOU make up a word or phrase that we all want to use and let's see if it catches on. I'm thinking, but haven't come up with anything yet.
Y'all know it needs to be appropriate for the site.

Best answer!

Jägermeister is a German 70-proof digestif made with 56 herbs and spices. It is the flagship product of Mast-Jägermeister SE, headquartered in Wolfenbüttel, south of Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany.

"Hereba Caputa" is my make up word.

In my 20's I was a cocktail waitress so I served many Jagermeister's One night after work my aunt and I had Jagermeister shots with a couple of friends of ours and we got so drunk we could not remember nor correctly pronounce the name. Out of one of our mouths came, "Hereba Caputa" instead of Jagermeister.

For many years after our most unusual night my aunt and I referred to all alcohol as Hereba Caputa.

So if anyone on aka is referring to alcohol as long as it's not a specific brand or drink than we can refer to the alcoholic beverage as a "Hereba Caputa".
