Are these meant to be false words that one has encountered somewhere - like the Wendy’s cup - or maybe you heard someone say it or you read it somewhere?
Or are there those but also words that you just make up? because bananarcalepsy is a great word.
if you are making things up, you could have gone with Bananarchy (or maybe Banananarchy) which could be an absence of government triggered by fruit.
or a lack of order surrounding the production and distribution of bananas
or something else?
I guess the site is still growing

It’s a combination of words that I’ve made up and words that I’ve heard/seen/experienced in real life that seem to be of dubious/goofy origin. The Wendy’s cup, for example, was clearly somebody at Wendy’s marketing HQ who came up with a word that sounded good to them, and they threw it on a cup.
Real words that enter the lexicon aren’t of interest, instead it’s words that are either entirely created by me or a submitter, or words that have been made up very recently and are either noteworthy, funny, or doomed to fail for obvious reasons.
Bananarchy is pretty good, I’ll add it my forthcoming collection of words. I’ve been adding one every two days or so, and I currently have enough words to keep going at that pace through the middle of February. Come back in a year and we’ll see if this collection of words has gotten anywhere.
Stick around, make some suggestions, it’ll be fun.

I was curious if there was any included back-story as to why bananarcalepsy. I realize that this site is intended as imaginative rather than documentation of actual usage, however this entry caught my eye, simply because I have narcolepsy and have been trying to find others online involved in net culture.

Sadly (or possibly thankfully), it’s merely imaginative and not based on anyone’s actual medical maladies.
