Bah. Shame on you, Arryn. Given the other words you chose, I'm positively appalled that you should opt to invoke so quotidian a phrase as "newly-coined" when the far more sesquipedalian term "neologism" nigh begs to be heard...

(Very well; I'll concede that a strict tally of syllables hands the prize to the former. But 'tis a scurvy, untoward game that said phrase plays; had it decorum, it would unhyphenate itself and yield to the more obtuse, and thus deserving, locution...)
