I missed my calling. I should have gone into advertising because, as I've noticed lately, you get to make up your own words. Although smashing cough and consequence together to make "coughequences" probably didn't take a genius.
The English language is always evolving. Every year Webster adds more words to the dictionary, most recently adding "Super PAC," "earworm" and "sexting." Adjust your Scrabble game accordingly.
Where our society will end up is anyone's guess, although I'm betting the movie Idiocracy is on to something describing the English language of 2505 as deteriorating into "a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts."
So in this world where it is either evolve or die, I've decided to create two new words for mister Webster:
Smaste - A combination of the words smell and taste.
Kangarooing - The act of carrying items in the pouch of a hoodie to keep your hands free.
Please incorporate these words into your conversation and maybe I can get them in the dictionary. It's not like they are any more ridiculous than the word "bromance."
