Origins of Idledom

I have always wanted to coin my own word. Even though I'm not the first to invent "Idledom" according to Google, I have adopted it and am determined to make it my own. The best part of a made-up word is imposing your will upon it. The flexibility is only limited by its root. I will start narrowing the scope for my Bush-ism with this working definition:


I·dle·dom - [ahyd-l-duhmnoun
1. a proper name for a realm of thought
2. an idle state/place of being


Ideally it refers to my imagined world of ideas. I plan to treat it as a metaphorical kingdom.

Though I am not entirely satisfied, for now I will settle on this definition. I probably just need confirmation from an authority  that this is clever before I will proudly stand by my invention. This seems to be a recurring struggle for me and is a common motivation. After all I am here to please, why else would I bother with something as public as a blog?
