Coining a Term

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

So is it too early to coin the term “Schiavo-freude”? I can think of two definitions:
1) The desire for someone to die, either literally or physically, or
2) The desire for something bad to happen to someone who vehemently opposes your beliefs, even when both of you are focused on a single instance of said beliefs, while thousands more examples occur every day, completely unbeknownst to both your tunnel-visioned selves.

For that matter, can I coin the term “tunnel-visioned”?
