Then again, cunning linguist that I am, I have coined many words and phrases, such as the verb "combitch," the etymology of which should be obvious, and "lawning the mow."

Shares a linguistic border with "sarchasm", fairly fast, no current English meaning. It doesn't really lend itself to the concept like onomatopoeia does, but the concept's a not really emotionally tied or connected enough for such to really exist cross cultures. “Desarche”?

I don't assume other people will get it, or won't try to twist it into an agreement. Sometimes it's reader stupidity or ill will ... and sometimes it is my failure to write well enough. I don't assume others will be able to leap the sarchasm. I try to mark my own use of sarcasm on-line, maybe with an emoticon, or a fake html tag.

I don’t assume others will be able to leap the sarchasm.
