I coined a new word the other day and I was so proud of it that I proceeded to go around telling everyone. It describes the toupee of snow that remains on top of a car's roof when all the rest of the snow has been cleared off.

The word is: 'Snowhican'.

Boy was I happy with myself. I told most of my work colleagues. I told friends. I told family. I'm telling you lot now.

But just before I decided to post my new word on the Word Blog I did a quick google and found this:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowhican.

You can even buy a mug with the damned definition printed on it.

I feel cheated. I want my neologism back.
