The act of creating a word in casual conversation for the purpose of communication when the TRUE word is not known. This is usually done by accident and the created word must sound similar to the real word. Example real word: to WHITTLE a piece of wood. mikeism: to WINDLE a piece of wood. A true MIKEISM, when called out or corrected, will be staunchly defended, usually ending with the person correcting the word leaving the conversation doubting their own understanding of the English language
