I can invent words too.
When I was still at Microsoft, a friend of mine (who may not want to be associated with it) and I invented the word "stratragic" to describe decisions or actions that the company made which were touted as being strategic but which had--at least in our opinion--tragic consequences. Without going into details, we applied the word to events involving (for example), the Xbox, Longhorn, and the various employee benefits.
I now present you with my newest word: pragmantic. It is used to describe romantics who approach romanticism with a dose of pragmatism. For example, using a USB drive and some MP3s in place of a mix CD. (Note that this does not include sending email Flash animated valentines, which is just tacky.)
Go forth and spread your love pragmantically. (Look, I didn't say it was a good word, okay?)
