My footprint in culture?

A word I invented, scrotumnal, maybe eight years ago and used in a chat room a few times was either independently invented or parroted by someone else around the same time and now has almost 20 pages of google uses.

I and/or the other guy (I'll bet you anything it's a guy) bequeath it to your children. Tell them not to thank him or me.

Well, that's kind of awesome. Applied equally to scrota and shriveled objects?

The first rule of parsimony club is that you never call a scrotum scrotumnal.

Actually I think I only ever mentioned it so that others could see it and agree what a wince-inducingly horrible word it was. To poke it with a stick really. I wonder what things you could even call scrotumnal? Inari maybe.

Squelch.

I was thinking toads. Certain kinds of toads.

Hey, yeah. The feel of them even. Though to say that is to either admit to comparative scrotum-groping or toadliness in deeply personal parts. But since you don't know which is true you'll kindly think me innocent on both counts.
