Has anyone come across any other places where they felt "we need a new word here"? If so where? Either a word that needs replacing or just something that it'd be useful to have a word we don't currently have?
Robert Pirsig in "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"tried to introduce "mu", from Japanese into English, as an answer to a yes or no question, where both yes and no are incorrect, or to reject the question itself rather than answer it.
So anything along those lines?
