Futilty belt - the belt that attempts to hold up a seriously overweight person's pants is a futility belt because, no matter how tight it is cinched, those pants are going to droop.
Why yes, I do feel a little bad about this new word but not bad enough not to share it.
The Fictionarium is the repository for newly created words. There's a chance that some of these words have been invented by other folks. It happens.

NWoTD - Meannui
Meannui (mean-you-eye) - tired and bored with the prevailing meanness in America.
The venality of the last eight years with the Bush camp in power and the "right" spewing wrong after wrong and smear after smear. The subjugation of a presidential election by smear boat vets, Dick Fucking Cheney, anti-choice, shrill PETA moralists, shout-them-down politics and shitty driving manners, all are solid examples of the pervasive meannui in the world today. And it almost goes without saying that asshats like Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter are perpetuaters of the culture of meanness and intolerance and hate.

NWoTD - Villigance
Villigance - when a small village acts in a manner that might not be legal but is, theoretically, in its best interests. A good example of villigance is what Sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) tried to do to John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) in First Blood. He thought it was in the town's best interests to run the "drifter" out of town without cause. But, as the movie showed, sometimes villigance can come back to bite you in the ass (or nuts) with a 50 cal machine gun bullet.
