Can I sell words I have made up?
Discussion
Afternoon
I have made up some words that I would like entered into the English language as soon as possible. Now these form part of my legacy, as you can imagine so I am looking for big ticket amounts on them, if it is indeed possible to sell them.
I've asked someone and putting them on here is as good as copyright so please do not use them in any of your scriptures.
My question is, am I able to sell these words? If so who to and is there a going rate for words of this calibre?
Here they are:
Blaucan (adjective)
Describes the sound made when making identical things work at the same time. I got inspiration from opening five DVD boxes just "to", then closing them all together with a fist, very satisfying.
Badjot (noun)
A cus word, used to describe someone who is late and as a result of their tardiness many people are disenfranchised and detrimented, perhaps they have plans.
Miskiligade (abstract noun)
This quite frankly stellar word describes the feeling you get when you have achieved something minor - for example:
"Prado was so full of Miskiligade today when he finally sorted out the points on the Morris"
This can be shortened to "Misk", "Miskal" as appropriate, to sound more jocular.
Flaus (noun)
This would replace the noun "aphid" to describe the greenfly-like insect.
Fangita (noun)
Describes female genitalia.
Mingella (noun)
As above.
Dalunfuss (adjecitve)
Describes a cute animal, perhaps that bearing the likelness of a fluff.
Has anyone on here tried to sell words like these? Any advice welcome.

All part of being an alpha.To think we once thought you might be the alpha male we were all waiting for!
Keith Lemon is a class a moron, seen him live. He is as much a prat off air as he is on it, and did not invent this word. Please try to keep up and keep on topic.

And? Not official though, is it, Urban Dictionary? As I said I am trying to sell these to the English language males.
Good point, well made.Anyway, im an English Language Male. Im quite interested in buying Mingella from you. What kind of price are we talking?
Can you ensure the word will be delivered to me securely?
Will all paperwork and rights of ownership be above board?
