I ain't Samuel Johnson, but I've occasionally given it a try:

Onolatry: The worship of donkeys or asses. “Americans engage in onolatry, as evidenced by its attitude toward movie and rock stars.”

Pishachi: A female devil or ghost, especially one that dislikes travelers and pregnant women. “The feminist movement has traditionally been filled with pishachi.”

Vaticanism: A neologism, meaning “Church control of morality through the state, generally accomplished through nefarious means that only rednecks can discern.”

Eiron: A stock character in Greek comedy who pretends to be less intelligent than he really is. The word “irony” derives from the pretence adopted by the eiron (which should give you a clue about its pronunciation). “Is he an eiron or just a moron?”

Crapulous: Relating to drunkenness or the drinking of alcohol. “Give me the crapulous, never the serious.”

Lyssophobia: A fear of rabies so extreme that the sufferer manifests symptoms of the disease. “Let's hope there's nothing like lyssophobia for fear of homosexuals.”

Misopedia. Hatred of children, especially one's own. “As a father of seven small children, misopedia disgusts me. But I understand it.”
