DAILY CANDY LEXICON XI

This one seems especially silly. Some of these terms have no Google hits. It's like that infamous 1990s made-up grunge slang list in the New York Times...Daily Candy once substituted for William Safire. Amazing...Here's how fake this thing is:

POX(ES) OF CHOCOLATE--0 Google hits, 0 Google Groups hits
VALENSPAMMER--0 Google hits, 0 Google Groups hits
SCAMENTINE--0 Google hits, 0 Google Groups hits
FEAR GOGGLING--0 Google hits, 0 Google Groups hits
CRYDAY THE THIRTEENTH--1 Google hits, 0 Google Groups hits
ENGAGE-MINT--5 Google hits (all bad), 0 Google Groups hits
