Contrast point is especially good, I think I've done it unconsciously in the past, now I know to think about it specifically ... good stuff!

Quick correction, I think you mean The Jazz Singer rather than All That Jazz ...

My favorite made up word is bumblefucked. It's not mine, but it's like a combination of confused and stunned, with a bit of WTF thrown in for good measure.

It might also be used as in phrase "out in the middle of bumblefuck-nowhere", referring to one being lost.

Great word.

I also sometimes use casuality (definitely not considered a real word) in place of casualness, because it has a better ring to it.
