Meme is a great one. A term invented (is that the right word? Created? We need a word for "thought up a word.") by Richard Dawkins.
Richard Dawkins came up with meme?? Wow. I love that man.
I think most people say "coined" as in "he coined the term..."You also might find it interesting to know these new words are called neolgoisms...Neologism (noun)1.A new word, usage, or expression2.The act of inventing a word or phraseAlso: Neologist (noun) and Neologistic, Neologistical (adj)
Yeah, I believe it is in one of the later chapters of "The Selfish Gene."wf: "Coined" is perfect. That was just the word I was looking for.
