[edit] Fantasticle

Neologism, more-or-less self-admitted: credited to "Jon Scarborough, Stefan Schaefer, and Terry White of St. Petersburg, Florida," who are not otherwise identified. No evidence of real use. Not in American Heritage dictionary. No Google hits on "fantasticle testis", none on "fantasticle scrotum", two on "fantasticle testicle" (one being a reply to another in the same online forum." 509 hits on "fantasticle," but inspection of the first hundred shows that it is being used merely as an frivolous intensification of "fantastic" or a misspelling of "fantastical" (as in Macbeth, "My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical...")
