OK, I found some good ones.
Lyebel: false statement that damages a person's reputation as a result of bad spelling
Deltintin: (Spanish) of, or relating to, the comic book hero Tintin
Samale: Sam's special recipe for tamale
Oldthere: The memory, as you pass the location, of a building you liked that was torn down and replaced by a less pleasant one (the Newthere).
Myque: Mikey from the RinkForum decides to go for the exotic.
