    Boneappletea is also an excellent term for a similar thing, where the “new” word or phrase makes no sense and is not plausible when used in the same context.

    There will certainly be reasonable disagreements about which description is more apt in a given situation. One that comes to mind is Joey Tribbiani’s use and explanation of “a moo point.”
