Differs from the [[Perfectly Cromulent Word]] in that the [[Neologism]] is born or constructed from existing words either via [[Portmanteau]], using actual (if misused) grammatical rules, or by an idiosyncratic but systematic and understandable transformation - for example, phoneme substitution or shifting your fingers one key to the left on your keyboard. Some neologisms are deliberate; others are accidental, errors which caught on.
