Is there a technical name for using an invented word for emphasis?
Hypothetical example: Saracens won the league but then unwon it through a points deduction for breaking salary cap regulations.
ETA: By frivolous I mean that no stories will be harmed if my question remains unanswered.

If I may neologise... The word you seek is 'emphaneologism'.
Which of course means; A new or recently coined word used in emphasis.

Good thinking, Batman!
The prefix 'empha' doesn't feel right. A classicist might string together 'hyper' and 'neologism' - google found matches but not in dictionaries.

Duh...!!!!
Neologise = Make shit up.
Of course it isn't in the dictionary..... I MADE IT UP
:)
If it is fiction, isn't it a lie?
No
If a fictional story was lie, then a lie told within the story would be the truth...
Neologise = Make shit up.
Of course it isn't in the dictionary..... I MADE IT UP
I meant 'hyperneologise'.

Sorry, not into femdom.
Ohh please... It's a sex story site but that does not mean every comment has sexual connotations, well, ok, those directed at AJ... but not to others.
:)
Yes, it is.
"Railroad crossing look out for the cars". How do you spell it without any "r" s? (I. T.)

A: Can you spell rhinoceros?
B: Yes.
A: Okay, spell it.
B: R...H..I..
A: Wrong, It is spelled I, T.
Am I just a sex object?
Since you ask, no, you're not. Truth is you are not blessed with the looks that women dream of, you're barely average in all but your waist line...
But when you slouch there drooling and licking your eyebrows.... if I wore panties they'd be soaked...
That answer your question, stud muffin ???
Truth is you are not blessed with the looks that women dream of
Sadly correct. I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies :(
you're barely average in all but your waist line...
Correct again. I actually have a waist when most men of my age don't. The trouble is, I don't need to expose my ovaries to show I'm ovulating and I don't need to expose my bum crack to let other men know I'm sexually available so I'd like to use my waist as something to hang clothes from, since I find that more comfortable than wearing hipsters. Chance would be a fine thing!
But when you slouch there drooling and licking your eyebrows...
Slouching and drooling - correct. Licking my eyebrows - wrong hair. I'm licking my tache. Or rather I was, but all remnants of dinner have now gone.

Really, now. We feel slighted.
Shush you... YOU were the one who insisted on discretion..!!

I believe a "nonce word" is one made up for a specific purpose.
